Simple and intuitive calorie tracking. Just type what you ate and Starve finds the calories and macros for you.
No barcodes. No databases. No manually adjusting "1 medium-sized banana."
Just type your meal like you would in a notes app.
Starve instantly finds the nutritional information.
See your totals and macros automatically updated.
Starve is opinionated. We left out the bloat so the part you use every day stays fast.
Write meals like you'd text a friend — "apple, cup of milk, scoop of protein." No database, no dropdowns, no portion pickers.
Calories appear right next to each line as you type. Every food parsed separately — commas, "and," even meal headers like Breakfast.
Tap the mic, say what you ate, done. Whisper transcribes and Starve logs it — perfect for hands-free during a meal.
A flame counter for consecutive days logged, a top-bar counter that turns red when you go over, and a remaining-calories pill always in view.
Foods you log often surface in a quick-add sheet. Built-in common-foods library too — one tap to add a banana, a coffee, an egg.
Enter weight, height, age, sex, activity, and weekly loss rate — Starve calculates BMR, TDEE, and your daily target. Or override it manually.
Starve is free to try. No signup. No paywall before you've used it.
Coming soon to the App StoreFor most everyday foods, Starve lands within ~10% of a careful manual log. A built-in correction layer fixes common typos and misnamed foods, and you can edit any line yourself. A "fast and good enough" log beats a slow and perfect one you abandon by week two.
Enter your weight, goal weight, height, age, sex, activity level, and how aggressive you want your weekly loss rate to be. Starve computes BMR and TDEE, then sets your daily calories — with a safe-minimum clamp so the deficit never goes too low. Prefer to skip the math? Use the manual override (1,000–5,000 cal stepper).
Yes. Tap the mic and speak — "two eggs, sourdough toast, oat milk latte." It's transcribed via Whisper and appended to your log, with calories estimated per item just like typing.
Yes. Your log lives on your device. What you type or dictate is sent to our AI provider for parsing and discarded — we don't store the text on our servers and don't run ads. See our Privacy Policy.
