Caltopia
Offline, Pay Once, Own Forever
Free · In‑App Purchases
5 Ways to log, Offline food database yours forever. No subscription, no account, no ads. Siri logging, widgets, optional iCloud backup and export to excel
Caltopia is a $14.99 (launch week: $9.99) one-time-purchase calorie tracker for people sick of monthly subscriptions who want their nutrition data to actually stay private. No accounts, no third-party cloud, no ads, no telemetry. Your food log lives on your phone — and optionally in your own private iCloud, never on our servers.
WHY ONE-TIME, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
Cal AI charges $30/year. MyFitnessPal Premium charges $80/year. Lose It! Premium charges $40/year. Caltopia is $14.99 once — own forever, on every iPhone signed into your Apple ID.
48,000 FOODS, AVAILABLE OFFLINE
Caltopia ships with a USDA food database (Foundation + SR Legacy + 40,000 branded foods) downloaded on first launch — about 4 MB, takes seconds. Once installed, search, logging, charts, and gamification all work without internet. Logging a meal on a flight, in a basement gym, in a foreign country — Caltopia just works. None of the major competitors offer this.
LOG MEALS FIVE WAYS
• Barcode scanner — fastest for packaged food
• Voice: "two scrambled eggs and a slice of toast" — parsed on-device
• Nutrition-label OCR — snap the back of a package, calories + macros extracted
• One-tap recents on the Today tab
• Photo Scan — on-device Apple Vision suggests candidates
Food data: USDA FoodData Central (public domain, bundled) + Open Food Facts (ODbL, online branded).
SIRI & SHORTCUTS
"Hey Siri, log food in Caltopia." Siri asks what you ate, parses quantities and meal context, and writes the entry without opening the app. Speech recognition runs on-device — Caltopia never receives voice audio.
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
• Calories Today (small + medium) — ring + remaining count
• Macros Today (medium) — protein, carbs, fat bars
• Logging Streak (small + Lock Screen + StandBy) — current day count
All read an on-device snapshot. No network calls.
ICLOUD BACKUP — IN YOUR OWN ACCOUNT
Optional. Off by default. When enabled, Caltopia snapshots your full data into your private iCloud database — Apple-encrypted, never visible to us. Restore on a new phone with one tap. No server-side sync, no Caltopia account.
SMART TARGETS
Mifflin–St Jeor BMR + Institute of Medicine activity multipliers — the same formulas dietitians use. Targets adapt as your weight changes. Pick a goal: lose, maintain, gain, or recomp.
REAL INSIGHTS
13-week heatmap. Calorie, macro, water, and weight trends at 7, 30, or 90 days. Weekly summaries that tell you exactly what changed.
GAMIFIED, NOT GIMMICKY
52 achievements, weekly quests, daily challenges, streaks, XP, level progression.
APPLE HEALTH SYNC
Opt-in two-way sync for weight, dietary energy, water, body mass.
MAKE IT YOURS
6 theme colors, 6 app icons, drag-to-reorder tabs, double-tap-anywhere quick log. Caltopia fits how you actually use your phone.
FULL DATA EXPORT + IMPORT
Settings → Data generates a complete .xlsx workbook (8 sheets covering everything). Re-import any Caltopia workbook to seed history — duplicates auto-skipped.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account, no login, no analytics SDKs, no trackers. Stored locally via SwiftData. The only network calls are anonymous food-database lookups, and — only if you opt in — backups to your own iCloud.
ONE-TIME PURCHASE — NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
7-day free trial with full features. A one-time non-consumable in-app purchase then unlocks the app forever on your Apple ID. Regular $14.99 (launch week: $9.99). No subscription, no recurring charges, no auto-renewal.
INDEPENDENT
Built by Cole Shane Williams — one developer, no VCs, no growth team, no data-monetization mandate. The price you pay is the entire business model.
