Calories as a range – calm, no streaks. Log food by search, barcode, photo or in your own words, put in context with your expenditure, sleep and heart data. Vita shows you what you eat — in the context of your body. At the top you see how much is left for today: as a range, estimated from your expenditure, not as a falsely precise number. Below, Vita puts sleep, heart data and activity in context against your own usual range. CAPTURE FOOD • Search your own inventory, starting with a catalogue of Swiss basics • Barcode — nutrition values come from Open Food Facts (only the barcode number goes there) • Photo — the Vita service estimates a plate, a product or a nutrition label; you correct it in conversation (“it’s beef, not pork”) • Describe — in your own words, confirmed before anything is logged • Backdate up to 30 days, plan meals up to 7 days ahead (clearly marked as “planned”), edit any entry on any day, undo after every entry YOUR DAILY FRAME • Expenditure from basal metabolic rate (weight, height and date of birth from Apple Health), everyday activity and your workouts — always as a range with honest uncertainty • Daily forecast: from your own similar days Vita estimates what is still to come until midnight, such as your usual evening ride — with a band and how often it has been right for you • Carb, protein and fat ranges for the whole day, with a suggestion for how the rest of the day could add up • Carbs adapt to training days; protein follows your activity level (not very active · regularly active · endurance or strength training), with the sources shown in the app • With a scale: the balance from your weight trend and a breakdown into water/glycogen and real change — over fully logged weeks Vita learns how high your expenditure really is • On request: a review of a meal or the whole day YOUR BODY AS CONTEXT • With a tracker (Apple Watch, Oura, Whoop, Garmin …): a calm morning reading from sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature — against your own baseline, not reference values • With cycle data in Health: swings in the second half of the cycle are read as the cycle, not as strain. No predictions • Trends over 28 and 90 days, influences from your own days (correlation, not causation) • Short knowledge pieces on the evidence behind every number, with sources WHAT VITA DELIBERATELY IS NOT No scores, no streaks, no alarms, no red, no water tracking. No diagnosis and not a medical device — Vita does not replace a doctor’s assessment. Logging is an offer, not a duty. YOUR DATA Vita calculates on your iPhone, without an account, and writes nothing to Apple Health. Raw data and histories from Apple Health never leave your iPhone. Individual values – such as your weight (rounded), workouts with type, duration and calories, or your daily state – go to the Vita service (Cloudflare, processed by Anthropic) only if you explicitly turn on Ask Vita or meal review. The photo scan sends your picture there, but no Health values. Every consent can be withdrawn in Settings at any time; Ask Vita and meal review can run entirely on the device if you prefer (Ask Vita can do less then), the photo scan is online only. Once a day Vita saves a backup of your diary to your own iCloud Drive (can be turned off); a backup as a file works any time. Vita needs an iPhone with Apple Health. For the calorie frame, weight, height and date of birth in Health; for the morning reading, a tracker that measures at night. Capturing food works without either. German and English.
