Done with forced accounts
Tracking food should not require handing over your email before you can even get started.
Start tracking without creating an account.
Want private tracking
Nutrition data is personal. Intake keeps your data on your device by default.
Your tracking stays with you.

Übersichtlich & schick
Sehr schöne & übersichtliche App. Macht damit genau was sie soll und das sehr gut und ohne Account-Zwang. Die neuen Features (Wasser-Zähler, eigene Rezepte) komplettieren und erweitern die App immer mehr. Freue mich über jedes Update😊

Top App
Tolle App zum Kalorienzählen – endlich ohne Abo! Sehr übersichtliche und gut durchdachte App zum Kalorien zählen – und das ganz ohne monatliche oder jährliche Zahlung. Genau das habe ich gesucht! Die Anbindung an Apple Health funktioniert zuverlässig und macht das Tracking besonders komfortabel. Auch die innovative Art der Eingabe gefällt mir richtig gut und hebt die App positiv von vielen Mitbewerbern ab. Insgesamt wirkt alles aufgeräumt, modern und intuitiv bedienbar. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert
