Effortless calorie tracking.

You’ve quit a food diary before — most people have. It’s rarely the calories that beat you. It’s typing nine numbers off the back of a packet, and picking your chicken breast out of forty near-identical results. Tare takes those parts away, so the second week feels like the first.

Effortless diary management

Name your meal slots whatever you like — three, five, or one called grazing. Copy yesterday’s dinner into today instead of typing it out again. Shift a whole day across when you’re back-filling the weekend. Build a recipe once and log it by the portion from then on.

Weight tracking built in

Step on the scale and Tare plots it against everything you’ve logged. It shows 90 days by default rather than 30, because a bad night’s sleep can move you two kilos and a real change needs longer than that to show through. Weigh in when you remember — missing Tuesday won’t break the trend.

Insights help you make decisions

Thirty days at a glance: this week against the last, where your calories actually land across the day, and what the scale says you burn — worked out from your own logging rather than an equation with your height in it. Days you skipped show up as skipped rather than as zeroes, so the chart never invents a fast you didn’t have. Every Monday it writes you a paragraph on what the week added up to, and what to change. Insights is part of Tare Pro; the diary, the day in full and weight tracking stay free.

AI photo and label scanning, if you want it

Photograph your plate and it comes back as separate foods with the portions worked out — the bit everyone guesses at, and the bit that decides whether your daily total means anything. Photograph a nutrition label and the form fills itself. You can see how confident it is about each item, and nothing’s saved until you say so. That and the insights are what you pay for. Logging, search, your own foods, recipes, goals and weight are free.
