Three ways to log

Whatever you are eating, there is a fast way to record it.

Scan a barcode

Point your camera at a product barcode and BasicCal looks it up instantly using Open Food Facts. No typing required.

Enter by hand

Log any food manually with exact portions in grams, ounces, or a custom measure you define yourself.

Reuse custom foods

Save foods you eat often and log them again with one tap. Build your own personal food library.

See your progress

BasicCal goes beyond a daily total. Weekly reports show your trends at a glance. Monthly reports give you the bigger picture. A tracked-days calendar and logging streak help you stay consistent.

You can also export your entire food log to CSV at any time (Plus feature).
