## Description

Track every breadcrumb.<br><br>Gretl isn&#39;t a calorie counter that scolds you. It&#39;s a personal health coach that reads the trend instead of judging your day. Tell it what you ate in your own words — &quot;two eggs and toast, and a coffee&quot; — and Gretl does the arithmetic, follows the direction you&#39;re heading, and offers gentle, optional coaching. No streaks to break. No shame, ever.<br><br>LOG IN PLAIN WORDS<br>Describe a meal the way you&#39;d say it out loud, or snap a photo of the plate. Gretl turns it into calories and macros — no database to search, no barcodes to scan, no portion dropdowns. Save the meals you repeat and log them again in one tap. Ate half? Adjust it in a tap.<br><br>TRENDS, NOT VERDICTS<br>One big dinner isn&#39;t a failure and one light day isn&#39;t a win. Chart your last 7, 14 or 30 days and watch the direction instead of the noise. Your calorie and macro targets start from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and adapt to the energy balance your own data shows — arithmetic, not vibes. The numbers are deterministic; the coach interprets them, it never invents them. When a target should move, Gretl asks first.<br><br>A COACH, WHEN YOU WANT ONE<br>Ask a question, log by chatting, or get an honest read on how your week is going. It&#39;s there when you want it and quiet when you don&#39;t. Everything that costs us nothing is free forever — logging, history, trends, weigh-ins, water, the watch apps, export. Gretl Pro is an optional subscription that raises your daily coaching allowance.<br><br>ON YOUR WRIST<br>Log by voice from Apple Watch or Wear OS, or just ask Siri — no phone needed. Today&#39;s rings are one glance away.<br><br>MEALS AREN&#39;T MORAL EVENTS<br>This is the whole philosophy. No shame language, anywhere. No &quot;you blew it&quot; notifications. No nagging. Gretl is a tool you open when you want it, not something that pesters you. It reduces the decision fatigue around eating while keeping you fully in control.<br><br>TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU — AND ONLY THAT<br>• Meals, from plain words or a photo<br>• Weight, as a trend instead of daily noise<br>• Workouts and activity<br>• Water — on by default, off in a tap<br>• Cholesterol — off by default, on if you care<br>Turn one off and it&#39;s gone everywhere: the home screen, your charts, the watch, its reminders. Your history is kept, so turning it back on brings it all back.<br><br>NOTIFICATIONS YOU ASKED FOR<br>Every reminder ships off. Turn on food or water reminders at times you choose, and nothing else ever fires — no streaks, no guilt, nothing because you went quiet.<br><br>PRIVATE BY DESIGN<br>Your data is yours: export it whenever you like, and erase yourself completely from Settings → Delete account, which removes your account and everything in it.<br><br>NOT MEDICAL ADVICE<br>Gretl offers decision support, not medical advice. For eating disorders, diabetes, medications, or unsafe goals, please talk to a qualified professional. Gretl is built to defer to one when it matters.<br><br>Follow your breadcrumbs.
