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 a one-time purchase that 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.

Days 0–13

Static

Uses the standard formula. Start logging to build your baseline.

Days 14–27

Transition

Blends formula with real data. Accuracy improves each day.

Day 28+

Fully Adaptive

Formula retired. Your TDEE is calculated entirely from your data.

Intermittent Fasting6 protocols with zero-tap scheduled mode — fasts auto-start when your eating window closes, and end with one tap from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island without opening the app. Body status stages, smart fast-breaking, and full history.

Daily Check-In & InsightsTrack energy and mood daily. After 14 days, Tare surfaces correlations between your nutrition and how you feel — backed by real statistics, not guesswork.

Safety guardrailsTDEE floor and ceiling, absolute calorie minimums, week-over-week damping, and confidence scoring protect against bad data and dangerous recommendations.

Micronutrients

Your supplements count too.

Tare tracks 22 vitamins and minerals — 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.
