Wisely FAQ

Everything people ask about Wisely, the honest, camera-first food log for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch: how it works, how accurate it is, what it costs, and how we handle your data.

About Wisely

What is Wisely?

Wisely is a camera-first food tracking app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. You snap a photo of your meal, or type a quick description, and Wisely estimates the calories and macros in seconds, then coaches you toward your goal with honest feedback. It has no ads and no third-party tracking.

How does Wisely work?

Take a photo of your food or type what you ate. Wisely sends it to an AI model that identifies the food, estimates the portion, and calculates calories, protein, carbs, and fat. You can adjust anything before saving, and your daily totals, rings, and widgets update across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch instantly.

Why does Wisely use AI for every meal?

Most trackers match what you type to a row in a database. Wisely sends every meal to an AI model that actually reads your food and reasons about portions, ingredients, and how it was cooked, which is more accurate. It costs us more per log than a database lookup, but being the most accurate and honest food coach is how we earn your trust.

Accuracy

How accurate is Wisely?

In an independent benchmark of 70 meals logged as plain text, Wisely scored 90 out of 100 for calorie accuracy against trusted reference values such as USDA FoodData Central and official restaurant data. Photos usually improve accuracy further because they reveal portion size and preparation. See the full benchmark →

How does Wisely compare to MyFitnessPal?

On the same 70 text-logged meals, Wisely scored 90 for calorie accuracy versus 71 for MyFitnessPal, and was more accurate in every category, with the biggest gaps on international dishes and misspelled inputs. Wisely is also planned to cost less than MyFitnessPal Premium, with 50% off for waitlist members.

Can I log meals with photos and text?

Yes. Wisely is camera-first, so a photo is the fastest and most accurate way to log. You can also type a description or re-log a saved meal, and every estimate is editable before you save it.
