Built for real meals
Modern AI helps turn messy meal context into a readable estimate.
Better portion context
Supported devices and clear captures can add depth, motion, surface, and scale cues.
Natural correction
Say the fix, add an after photo, or edit the same meal without relogging.
Memory that helps
Usual coffees, breakfasts, dressings, and restaurant orders can get easier over time.
One calm day
Meals, workouts, targets, and guidance stay in one focused daily view.
How it works
Capture the meal. Keep the day clear.
Aretic keeps the loop simple: show the meal, review the estimate, correct what changed, and move on without rebuilding the log manually.
Record a short video, take a photo, upload an image, dictate a note, or type a line. Use the fastest input for the moment.

Video-first capture
Show the meal while you explain it.
Video gives Aretic angles, spoken context, and portion clues in one quick capture. Photos, uploads, voice, and text work too when they fit the moment better.
- Add angles without manual entry.
- Speak the context the camera might miss.
- Use video for restaurant meals, mixed plates, and complex portions.
Built for real meals
Every meal is different. Aretic is built for that.
Restaurant plates, leftovers, mixed bowls, sauces, brands, and home cooking rarely fit clean database entries. Aretic starts from the meal and uses modern AI with the context you provide to build a clearer estimate.
Not a barcode ritual
Aretic starts from the meal instead of making you search, scan, select, adjust, and save.
Context over clean entries
Optional notes, public food context, and the capture itself help Aretic handle meals as they are eaten.
Readable output
The result is a calorie and macro estimate you can review before relying on it.
Portion context
More context for tricky portions.
Some meals are hard because portion size is hard. Aretic is designed to use more context than a flat photo, including depth-aware cues on supported devices, visible surfaces, motion, and familiar scale cues.
Depth-aware when available
Supported iPhones and capture conditions can provide depth-aware context for the estimate.
Scale cues when useful
Visible surfaces, motion, and familiar objects can help Aretic reason about size.
Assumptions stay visible
The parts of the estimate that matter should stay legible before you trust the number.
Corrections improve the record
When the estimate is off, say the fix and keep going.
Correcting Meal

Corrections
Say the fix. Aretic updates the meal.
A useful tracker should expect adjustments. Correct ingredients, portions, assumptions, or what you actually ate in plain language without starting over.
Plain-language edits
"Make that almond milk." "I ate half." "Drop my target a bit."
After-photo updates
Add a photo later when the meal should reflect what you actually ate.
Same meal, cleaner day
Corrections stay tied to the entry instead of creating a messy second record.
Usuals
Your regular meals get easier.

Why Aretic
A name for excellence in function.
Aretic begins with arete: the classical idea of excellence, virtue, and a thing fulfilling its purpose well. The name carries that meaning without turning the product into a philosophy lesson.
The -ic ending makes it operational: of excellence, relating to performance, built to do the job properly. It gives the name a technical shape, closer to words like analytic or systemic than to an abstract ideal.
For Aretic, that means turning messy real meals into a clear, editable nutrition record. Capture what is actually there, use the context carefully, and keep the day readable enough to trust and correct.
What is Aretic?
Aretic is an AI-first nutrition tracker for iPhone. It lets you capture a meal quickly and turns the context into a calorie and macro estimate you can review, correct, and keep aligned with your day.
Can I log without typing everything manually?
Yes. Meals can start from a video, photo, upload, voice note, or short message. Aretic turns the context into an estimate you can review.
Why lead with video?
Video can add angles, motion, and spoken context when one flat photo is not enough, especially for restaurant meals, mixed plates, and hard-to-see portions.
Are the estimates exact?
No nutrition estimate is perfect. Aretic is designed to make assumptions visible and corrections easy, so the record can become more trustworthy over time.
How does portion context work?
On supported iPhones and capture conditions, Aretic can use depth-aware context. Other captures may use estimated scale cues when there is enough reliable detail. These cues support the estimate; they do not turn it into a perfect measurement.
Can Aretic remember my usual meals?
Aretic is designed so regular coffees, breakfasts, dressings, snacks, and restaurant choices can become easier to log next time. Memory should help the record, not make the product feel invasive.
Can I update a meal after eating?
Yes, when the after-photo update flow is available. You can add an after photo or correct the meal in plain language so the entry better reflects what you actually ate.
Does Aretic use Apple Health?
When connected and enabled, Aretic can use workout context from Apple Health. Activity context is treated cautiously and remains editable.
Is Aretic medical advice?
No. Aretic is a personal tracking tool. It is not medical advice, clinical nutrition care, or a substitute for a professional.
