I got fed up with every calorie tracker out there — 5 screens just to log a meal. So I built Caliq. Type what you ate: "2 rotis, dal, and a mango shake" — it logs calories and macros automatically. Like texting a friend. Built for Indian users: integrates INDB + IFCT databases so it actually understands our food, not just guessing from American databases. Every number shows its source (USDA, IFCT, or AI estimate) so you know what to trust. No signup wall. No credit card. Free to try.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Harshit, and I built Caliq because I kept rage-quitting every calorie tracker out there. The problem: every app makes you search for food, scroll through thousands of results, pick a portion size, assign it to a meal slot... 5 screens just to log "2 eggs and toast." I quit by day 3, every time. What I actually wanted was to just text an app what I ate and have it figure the rest out. So I built that. Caliq lets you type naturally: "had paneer paratha and chai" or "chicken sandwich and fries" — and it logs calories + macros automatically. No dropdowns. No meal slots. Just type. What makes it different: - Works great with Indian food (INDB + IFCT databases, not just American data) - Shows source for every number (USDA / IFCT / AI estimate) so you know what to trust - Tracks trends, streaks, weight over time - Zero signup friction Honestly, I built this for myself. Now trying to figure out if others want it too. Would love brutal feedback — especially on Indian food coverage.

Are you fed up of all the calorie logging apps.

5 clicks to log a banana. whatt??
I got fed up with every calorie tracker out there, so I built my own. Now I'm stuck on whether to even launch it.

Here's the thing I've tried MyFitnessPal, HealthifyMe, Cronometer, all of them. Same experience every time. Search for food, scroll through 10,000 results, find something close enough, pick a portion size from a dropdown, assign it to breakfast or lunch or dinner, hit submit. Five screens for one roti. I quit by day three, every single time.

What I actually wanted was to just tell an app: "had two rotis, dal, and a mango shake" and have it figure it out. Like texting a friend.

So I started doing that with ChatGPT. Honestly worked great understood akhrot, poha, chole bhature, vague quantities like "1 bowl" or "1 plate". But the obvious problem: ChatGPT forgets everything the next day. No history. No graphs. No point.
