Basil
Scripted preview · Estimated numbers
How it works
Logging is just a chat.
Everything a calorie counter makes you do, you do by just saying it. Basil writes your food diary for you, and tells you what each estimate is based on.
Or snap your plate
Foods, portions and the assumptions behind each estimate. Barcodes and labels work too.
that was a double, not a single
Updating that entry
Fix it in plain words
“That was a double.” “Delete the yogurt.” “Log yesterday's dinner.” Done.
easy breakfast for weight gain?
Yogurt and granola could fit. Let's work out portions.
Ask for what fits you
Ideas for a cut, weight gain or your macro goals. Just ask.
An AI that sticks around.
A general AI chat can guess what's in a meal, but it doesn't stick around. Basil keeps your food diary, your plan and your progress, remembers you between chats, and does the work with them.
It keeps the diary.
Every meal lands in a food diary on your phone, with the day's estimated calories, macros and protein added up.
It does the looking up.
Ask what to order. Basil can search restaurant menus, check nutrition sources and put the options in the context of your day.
It remembers your routine.
Your usual lunch. The milk you prefer. Your food preferences and what you're working toward. Basil keeps useful details so each conversation can build on the last.
It sees the bigger picture.
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect to bring weigh-ins, activity and sleep into the conversation. You choose what to share.

Your food diary
Your whole day, added up for you.
Your meals, estimated calories, macros and protein, all in one food diary. See how the day adds up against the targets you and Basil chose, whether you're eating for weight loss, weight gain or maintenance.
- A calorie and macro tracker with no food database to search, and no picking from twelve kinds of banana.
- Ask about your history in words and get an answer, not a chart to interpret.
- Every number is an estimate, and it says what it's based on.
Basil starts the conversation, too
It reaches out. Never with a guilt trip.
A missed log. A tough week you mentioned. A pattern worth talking about. Turn on check-ins and Basil reaches out only when your food diary gives it something real to say.
- Accountability, your way. Ask for gentle encouragement or a more direct nudge. Basil can push back while staying on your side.
- You set the boundaries. Turn check-ins on, then tell Basil when to reach out, what helps, or when to back off.

Hey, you mentioned Tuesdays get hectic. No lunch logged yet. Want to catch me up?
grabbed a sandwich between meetings. forgot to log it
Let's get it in. What was in the sandwich? A rough description is fine.
Your goals. Your plan.
A plan that learns your body.
Weight loss, weight gain, maintenance or specific macro goals: tell Basil what you're working toward. It starts from published energy equations, then checks what you log against your weight trend to learn how much your body actually burns, and refines your plan with you week by week.
- Calories and macros that fit you. Tell Basil your food preferences and macro priorities. It explains the estimates behind the targets it suggests.
- More history. Less guesswork. Weekly Reviews use logged meals, weight trends and how you're feeling to refine your plan. One unusual day doesn't rewrite it.
- Change direction when you need to. Move from a cut to maintenance, revisit a gain goal, or adjust your macro preferences. You review changes before Basil saves them.

You had a quicker drop early on. Your trend has held fairly steady for the last two weeks, even with the daily ups and downs. How are hunger and energy feeling?
both feel good. let's revisit the targets
Let's review your recent logs and try a small calorie adjustment, keeping protein steady. Want to see the updated calorie and macro estimates?
Healthy habits, for the long run
For the life you actually live.
Takeout, holidays, a drink with friends. Your plan has to work in the middle of real life. Basil helps you work on habits around food, alcohol and everyday routines, one manageable change at a time.
No crash diets. No starting over every Monday.
Ask for help planning a night out, cutting back on drinks, or getting back to your routine after a messy week. The aim is healthy habits you can keep, with support when things get hard.
went overboard with dinner and drinks. skip breakfast tomorrow?
Let's keep breakfast. You don't need to make up for tonight by skipping meals. Want to pick one thing to do differently next time?
yeah, i'd like to be more intentional about the drinks
We can work on that. What would feel like a realistic change for your next night out?
A little pushback. A practical next step. Room to be human.
Privacy
No account. No diary on our servers. Never trained on.
Your journal stays on your phone by default, and the AI that answers you never trains on what you send it. Where there's a limit, we say so plainly rather than make a promise we can't keep.
- No account
- No email, no password, no sign-in. Basil never asks who you are.
- No diary on our servers
- By default, your journal lives only on your phone. Our server passes each AI request on and stores none of it.
- Never trained on
- The AI models that answer you never train on your conversations, photos, or health data.
- Never sold
- Nothing is sold, and nothing is used for ads.
You say yes first
Nothing reaches the AI until you've agreed to what Basil sends. Take it back any time with Stop sharing with the AI in Settings.
Enforced on every request
The no-training rule isn't a setting you have to find. Our server adds it to every request, so it only reaches providers that don't train on inputs.
What gets sent, and to whom
To reply, Basil sends AI providers, through OpenRouter, your messages and photos, recent chat, your plan and latest measurements, health data you've connected, what it remembers about you, and the journal entries it reads to answer. Check-ins you turn on also send recent meals and totals. The rest of your journal stays put.
Health data, read only
Apple Health and Health Connect need their own yes. Basil only reads, never writes back, and Disconnect deletes what it imported from Basil.
Analytics without your data
Usage stats tell us which features get used. They never include your conversations, photos, food, or health readings.
Straight about retention
Google may keep the requests it answers, and its responses, for up to 55 days, only to detect abuse and meet legal obligations, and never for training.
