Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Treat, the AI calorie tracker with voice input.
What is Treat?
Treat is an AI-powered calorie tracker for iOS that lets you log food by voice, photo, or text. Instead of searching through food databases or scanning barcodes, you simply say what you ate —like "a large chicken Caesar salad" —and Treat's AI instantly calculates the calories, protein, carbs, and fat. It's designed to make calorie tracking as effortless as possible.
How does voice calorie tracking work in Treat?
Just say what you ate —for example, "a large chicken Caesar salad with extra dressing" —and Treat's AI instantly breaks it down into calories, protein, carbs, and fat. You don't need to search a database, scan a barcode, or weigh your food. Voice tracking works for any meal, snack, or drink, including restaurant meals, homemade recipes, and complex dishes. You can also log meals retroactively —just tell Treat what you had for lunch three hours ago. It takes about 10 seconds compared to 3-5 minutes with traditional calorie tracking apps.
Can I really track calories just by talking?
Yes. Treat's voice input understands natural speech, so you can say things like "two scrambled eggs with toast and butter" or "a venti oat milk latte from Starbucks" and get an instant calorie breakdown. You don't need to use specific words or formats —just describe your meal the way you'd tell a friend.
How accurate is AI calorie tracking?
Treat's AI calorie estimates are comparable to manual database lookups for most meals. The AI recognizes thousands of foods, restaurant dishes, and common recipes. For packaged foods with exact nutrition labels, manual entry or barcode scanning may be slightly more precise. But for the vast majority of meals —especially restaurant food, homemade dishes, and snacks —AI tracking is accurate enough to be useful and far faster than the alternatives.
What foods can the voice tracker understand?
Treat's voice tracker understands virtually any food described in natural language. This includes specific dishes ("pad thai with shrimp"), brand-name items ("a Big Mac with large fries"), general descriptions ("a bowl of pasta with meat sauce"), and even vague portions ("about a handful of almonds"). It handles complex meals, multi-item orders, and restaurant-specific dishes.
How is Treat different from MyFitnessPal?
Treat is built around AI and voice input, while MyFitnessPal relies primarily on a food database and barcode scanning. With Treat, you say what you ate and the AI does the rest —no searching, no scrolling, no manual portion selection. Treat is also simpler by design: it focuses on calorie balance without overwhelming you with features. MyFitnessPal offers more features (recipe import, social features, extensive database) but requires significantly more effort to log each meal. MyFitnessPal's voice logging is only available on the Premium plan ($19.99/month).
How much does Treat cost?
Treat offers a free 3-day trial with full access to all features, including voice tracking. After the trial, a subscription costs $9.99/month or $59.99/year. There is no free tier with limited features —the trial gives you the complete experience so you can decide if it works for you.
Does Treat work with Apple Health?
Yes, Treat integrates with Apple Health. Your calorie and nutrition data can sync with Apple Health, and Treat can read activity data from Apple Health to factor exercise into your daily calorie balance.
Can I track my weight in Treat?
Yes. Treat includes built-in weight tracking that lets you log your weight and see your progress over time. Your weight trend is shown alongside your calorie balance, so you can see how your eating patterns connect to actual weight changes.
Is Treat available on Android?
Treat is currently available on iOS only (iPhone and iPad). An Android version is not yet available. You can download Treat from the Apple App Store.
What's included in the free trial?
The 3-day free trial includes full access to every feature: voice logging, photo logging, text logging, AI calorie estimation, weight tracking, macro tracking, daily insights, and Apple Health integration. There are no feature restrictions during the trial.
How do I cancel my Treat subscription?
