QuickCal

What it is

QuickCal (Calorie Counter) has no community food database and no online nutrition lookup. You build My Library on the device, pin favorites for one-tap logging, and review daily intake in History. Core logging and library features work without an internet connection.

QuickCal Reference

Library includes a built-in offline QuickCal Reference of about 150 curated ingredients focused on natural, minimally processed foods — primarily raw, uncooked, or dry ingredients such as meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Values are based on USDA FoodData Central reference data and ship inside the app. The reference is not downloaded from the internet and is not a community database.

Reference items are read-only. Copy an item into My Library to make it yours — then rename it, change portions, edit calories or macros, add photos, pin it, or use it in meals. Your copy is independent; future QuickCal reference updates never overwrite user-created copies. Packaged foods that already show a nutrition label are intended to be entered manually into My Library.

Calorie Planner

From Settings you can open Calorie Planner and complete a short questionnaire for estimated daily calorie and macronutrient targets. Estimates are calculated on your device using established nutrition equations (including Mifflin–St Jeor resting metabolism) and standard activity guidance. Results are estimates only — not medical advice — and are never guaranteed. Every body is different.

How data works

My Library items, optional library photos, daily logs, settings, theme choice, tutorial status, Calorie Planner answers and results, trial information, and purchase entitlement cache are stored locally on your device. The bundled QuickCal Reference dataset remains inside the app and is searched offline. Optional export/import backups stay under your control and include copied My Library items (not the bundled reference catalog). QuickCal does not create accounts and does not sync your calorie or planner data to a QuickCal server.

Trial and purchase

New installs get a 14-day app-managed free trial. After the trial, browsing existing data remains available; writing (for example logging or editing the library) opens a paywall. Unlock is a one-time lifetime purchase through the Apple App Store or Google Play — not a subscription. Purchases can be restored on the same platform for the same store account. Apple purchases remain managed entirely by Apple.
