Track what you eat.
Learn what you burn.
Calorie, macro and micronutrient tracking that learns your real burn from your own weigh-ins — all on your device. No accounts. No ads. No data harvesting.
Why Tare?
Zero out the noise.
When you tare a scale, you remove everything that isn't the thing you're measuring. That's the philosophy behind this app — strip away the accounts, the ads, the social features, the data harvesting, and focus on the one thing that matters: what you eat.
Most nutrition apps treat your food diary as a funnel to sell you subscriptions and serve you ads. Tare is different. It's free for 7 days, then a one-time purchase, and it lives entirely on your device. Your data syncs through your iCloud — not our servers, because we don't have any. No analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party SDKs. Just a fast, focused tool that gets out of your way so you can log and move on. Coming from another tracker? See how Tare compares.
tare /tɛr/ verb
To set a scale to zero before adding the item to be weighed, so that the weight of the container is excluded from the measurement.
"Tare the scale before adding the oats — you want to measure exactly what you're eating, nothing more."
Beyond Tracking
Your calorie target shouldn't be a guess.
Most apps estimate your daily burn using a formula. Tare goes further — it learns your actual energy expenditure by analyzing what you eat and how your weight changes over time. No wearable required.
Log your food and weigh yourself regularly. After 28 days of data, Tare replaces the formula with a personalized TDEE derived from your real-world data. Every week, it recalculates and suggests updated macro targets through a simple check-in. Want to see where you'd start? Try the free calorie calculator — it uses the app's exact starting math.
Static
Uses the standard formula. Start logging to build your baseline.
Transition
Blends formula with real data. Accuracy improves each day.
Fully Adaptive
Formula retired. Your TDEE is calculated entirely from your data.
Train with the same app you eat with.
Turn on Workouts and Tare plans each session around your gym, your goal and the muscles that have recovered since last time — and says why.
Workouts is in beta and needs iOS 26.4. It stays off until you turn it on in Profile → Workouts.
How Workouts works →- Sets, reps and weight, with a rest timer on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch.
- Over 600 exercises with how-to animations, downloaded when you want them.
- Records and history for every exercise; bring your past workouts from Fitbod.
- Workouts land in Apple Health, and with exercise credit on their calories count toward your day.
Micronutrients
Your supplements count too.
Tare tracks 22 vitamins and minerals, plus caffeine and alcohol against a daily limit you set — and treats the supplements you take as nutrition, not a checklist. Link one to a food and it counts toward your totals like anything else you eat.
- Add what's missing, fix what's wrong. A barcode no database knows becomes your own custom food; a wrong entry gets corrected once. Either way, your version wins every future scan.
- See what caused a gap. Open a nutrient and Tare shows which foods supplied it and how much each one gave.
- Get suggestions you'd actually eat. Ranked from your own recipes, custom foods, and things you log often — each showing how much of the gap it closes.

What people say.
Reviews from the App Store, quoted as written.
Tare is one of the best calorie tracking apps I’ve used. The interface is clean, intuitive, and straightforward […] One feature I particularly appreciate is the ability to log exercises and have the calories burned automatically deducted from the daily calorie budget. […] Food logging is quick and easy, and the app provides exactly the information needed to stay on track without feeling cluttered or overwhelming. Overall, Tare strikes an excellent balance between simplicity and functionality.
This app is a steal of a deal! No ads, no subscription. Just a small one time purchase. There’s so much to love about this app compared to other options out there. It does most everything most people would need in an app like this, is well designed and has nice customization options. Add to that, the developer is really responsive and listens to users, quickly getting new fixes and features out. Love the app so far and have no doubt it will only keep getting better!
Been using it for like 3 months now. Lots of features for a one time purchase, no ads!!!! […] Adaptive TDEE really works, after a few weeks it stops using some generic formula and actually figures out your calorie burn based on your own weigh-ins and provides summary weekly with changes macros. Also it is way less buggy compare to earlier versions, they’ve clearly been fixing stuff.
Great app! Tare is the perfect app for tracking calories and managing your diet. I especially love the two-way synchronization with Apple Health — everything works conveniently and automatically. Best of all, there’s no subscription and no inaccurate AI. Most importantly, it actually helps me lose weight! Simple, convenient, and truly useful.
The developer listens to the audience. Since my previous review, changes have been made to the water tracker. Now I definitely recommend buying this app!
Great! 👍 Excellent app. Lots of features. Everything is intuitive. No ads.
Start tracking honestly.
No sign-up, no data collection. Download Tare and take control of your nutrition.
