Four ways to log a meal. Pick whichever one is fastest right now — and one ring tells you what's left of the day.
The day view
Your calorie goal, what you've eaten, and what you've burned, in a single figure you can read at arm's length. Protein, carbs and fats each get their own bar underneath.
There is no brand colour in Kaunto. Chrome is black, white and grey throughout, and colour appears in exactly two places — the ring and the macro bars — so the numbers are the only thing shouting.
Foods
Per portion, not per 100 g, from USDA FoodData Central — the same numbers Kaunto uses when you log them.

Features
Logging
Search a food database, scan a barcode, photograph the plate, or pull in a recipe you already saved. When one route comes up short, the next one is a tap away — so a missing barcode never becomes a missing entry. Had yesterday's breakfast again? Copy the meal, pick the day and the meal, done.
Recipes
Import a recipe from a link or build it from its ingredients. Set the cooked weight, and a portion's macros are finally right — the step most trackers skip and the one that makes the numbers wrong.
Health
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect and your steps, workouts and energy burned arrive on their own — and what you log here goes back the other way, so both stay in step.
Insights
Weekly calories, the macro split, streaks and freezes, calorie achievement and your weight — each card switchable, reorderable, and set to the range you care about. Every weigh-in carries its date, and the weight card draws the trend against your goal.
Day details
Open a day from its ring and it comes apart: what you ate meal by meal, a nutrition-facts table built only from what your foods actually reported, and the energy you burned beside it. Every day in the calendar opens the same way.
Meal times
Tell it when breakfast, lunch and dinner happen and logging opens on the right one; anything outside those hours is a snack. Reminders come per meal, once a day for your log, and when a streak is at risk.
One day
Granola for breakfast, pasta at lunch, salmon for dinner, popcorn in front of a film. Eleven ordinary things, nothing fried and nothing from a restaurant, each at a portion USDA itself lists for it. Nobody weighed anything and nobody wrote it down. This is what the day came to.

Evidence, worked numbers and the parts most guides skip. Written to hold whichever app you use.
logging 6 min
Barcodes give exact products but not portions; search gives lab-measured whole foods; photo scanning names the food but guesses the weight. When to use each, and where each fails.
accuracy 6 min
Labels can be 20 % off, portions are guessed, and your body does not absorb every calorie. Counting still works, because the errors are consistent. Here is the size of each one.
food data 5 min
Every calorie app reads from a handful of databases: USDA, national tables, crowd-sourced barcodes, manufacturer labels. Here is where each number comes from and why they differ.
calories 6 min
Most adults maintain on 1,800–2,800 kcal a day. Here is how to estimate yours with the Mifflin–St Jeor equation, what to add or subtract for a goal, and how to correct it after two weeks.
food data 6 min
US and EU rules let a nutrition label differ from the food inside by up to 20 %. Here is what the law allows, how rounding works, and how to log so it does not matter.
macros 5 min
Set protein high, fat to a floor, and carbs with whatever's left. Here's how to calculate a cutting split, with worked numbers.
Insights
A calendar rings every day you logged, in green where you met your goal. Tap any day and it comes back — what you ate meal by meal, and the nutrition facts of all of it.
Behind it sits the dashboard — eight card types over seven days, thirty, ninety or a year, as bars or as a line.
Questions
Kaunto is a macro tracker for iOS and Android. You set a calorie and macro goal once, then log what you eat — by searching a food database, scanning a barcode, photographing a meal, or picking a saved recipe — and the day’s ring tells you how much room is left.
From the App Store on iPhone and iPad, or Google Play on Android. Both links are on this page, and /download sends you straight to the right one.
Kaunto is free to use. Kaunto Pro is an optional subscription, monthly or annual, bought through the App Store or Google Play, where the price is shown before you confirm. A free account keeps the app with usage limits, which the app shows. Pro brings unlimited scans, Stats, recipe import and no wait. Where a free trial is offered, it becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. There are no ads in the app.
Yes. Entries save on the device and are marked pending while you are offline, with a banner to tell you so, then sync when the connection returns.
It brings in your steps, active energy burned, exercise time, distance, weight, height and workouts. And it sends back what you log in Kaunto: the workouts and activities you log and the energy they burn, the food you log as nutrition, and your weight and height.
Yes. Open the meal, choose Copy from its menu, then pick the day — today or any day before it — and which meal it goes into. Clear all empties a meal in one go, and you can undo it.
Log a weigh-in, with its date, from Profile or from the weight card in Stats; the card draws the trend against your goal weight. With Apple Health or Health Connect connected, Kaunto saves your weigh-ins there too and the first sync brings in weigh-ins from up to the last 90 days.
Only you. Foods you create are private to your account; open one and tap Edit to change or delete it. Anything you have already logged keeps its values.
A freeze covers a day you miss, so the streak survives it. You earn them by keeping your streak going, and you can hold up to five.
Thirteen, switchable in the app, with every screen translated: English, Español, Português, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Română, Svenska, Norsk, Suomi and Türkçe. That is the app interface; the legal documents are in English.
Yes, 16.
No. It sets no diet, recommends no meals, and never comments on your food choices. It counts, and it shows you the count.
Set your macros once. The ring does the rest.
