Welmi — AI Nutritionist & Calorie Counter

The workflow

Snap, log, listen to the coach.

Welmi doesn't ask you to learn — it asks you to show up and snap. The rest happens by itself.

STEP 01

Snap the meal

Photo, barcode or manual entry — Welmi logs calories, macros and adds them to the day in one tap.

STEP 02

Read the coach

The AI nutritionist suggests recipes, eating windows and adjustments based on your remaining calories, Apple Health data and your goal.

STEP 03

Build the streak

Daily streaks, fasting windows, water tracking and a home widget keep the habit alive — gently, not by guilt.

Why it's different

Most apps count calories. Welmi acts like a kind nutritionist that knows you.

The pitch in one line: "no stressful fasting, extreme diets, or exhausting workouts — gently form conscious food habits." The AI chat uses your Apple Health data and tracked metrics to suggest meals, fasting windows and workout-aware macro goals (eat more on training days). On top of food, Welmi adds AI body composition analysis from photos to track body fat and muscle trends. Honest framing: photo calorie estimation and body-fat estimation are directional, not clinical, and AI advice is general guidance — not medical advice.

Honest comparison

Where Welmi wins — and where it doesn't

It's a habit-first AI nutritionist. Compared on what decides it for daily use:

	Welmi	Cal AI / photo apps	MyFitnessPal
AI nutritionist chat & coach	Built-in	Logging only	Limited
Body composition from photos	Yes	No	No
Auto macro adjust on workout days	Yes	Manual	Manual
Fridge scanner → recipes	Yes	No	No
Free use without paywall	3-day trial only	Varies	Free tier
Brand / database maturity	Young (2025)	Varies	Largest
Maturity of reviews/feedback	Growing	Varies	Years of data

Honestly, Welmi is young and the trial-only entry frustrates some users, and MyFitnessPal still has the bigger database. Pick Welmi for the coach UX, fridge scanner and body-composition features — areas the older players don't address.

From users

What people actually say

★★★★★

Finally an app that feels like a coach, not a spreadsheet. The streak and the chat tips make me actually want to open it every day.

Habit builder
Daily use

★★★★★

The fridge scanner alone is worth it — snap, get three recipes I can cook tonight. Body-composition from photos is a fun bonus.

Home cook
Fridge scanner

★★★★☆

Love the coach vibe, but I wish I could try one scan before the trial paywall. Some friends bounced because of that — fix the first-run experience.

The backstory

A young app betting on warmth over calorie spreadsheets

Welmi is built by T-SHAPED APPS LTD, a UK-registered apps studio. The app launched on iOS and Android in September 2025 and crossed 100,000 downloads on Google Play within months, with regular updates from v1.4 to the current v2.8 series. The official contact is [email protected].

Welmi's pitch is right in its onboarding: "not just a calorie counter, but a true companion." The flagship is a photo calorie scanner paired with an AI chat coach that uses Apple Health data and your tracked metrics to suggest meals, fasting windows and workout-aware macro adjustments. On top of that sit AI body composition from photos, a fridge scanner that generates recipes from what you have, daily streaks, water, eating reminders and a home widget.

Be clear-eyed about the limits. The app is young and changes quickly, so feature stability and review depth are still evolving. AI photo estimation — for both calories and body composition — is directional, not clinical, and Welmi states explicitly that it does not give medical advice. The 3-day trial is the entry path, and several users have complained that the paywall blocks the very first session, which is genuinely frustrating if you wanted a test scan first.

Practical caveats: brand awareness is small next to MyFitnessPal, the gamification (streaks, reminders) may feel pressuring if you don't enjoy it, and the AI body-composition feature is a directional trend tool — not a body-fat measurement device. Use the free trial to evaluate, and lean on the coach if calorie spreadsheets have historically been why other apps fell off your home screen.

Frequently asked questions

What is Welmi?

Welmi is an AI nutritionist app for iOS and Android from T-SHAPED APPS LTD. Rather than positioning itself as a calorie counter alone, it aims to be a gentle personal nutritionist — combining photo calorie logging, personalized recommendations, body composition analysis, fasting and habit features in one place.

How does Welmi count calories from a photo?

You snap a photo of your meal and the AI food scanner identifies the dish, logs calories and macros, and adds it to your day. You can also scan barcodes for packaged products or enter food labels manually when needed. Photo accuracy varies on mixed dishes, so review the result before saving.

What is the AI body composition feature?

Welmi includes AI-powered body composition analysis from photos to estimate your body fat and muscle percentage over time, alongside calorie and macro tracking. It is intended as a directional indicator to spot trends, not a clinical measurement, and accuracy depends on photo quality and consistency.

Is Welmi free?

Welmi offers a 3-day free trial that unlocks the full feature set. After the trial, AI analysis and advanced recommendations require a subscription. Be aware that some users report the paywall blocks usage from the very first session, so plan to start the trial when you have time to evaluate.

Does Welmi support intermittent fasting?

Yes. You can set fasting and eating windows, monitor progress and receive reminders, with the fasting tools sitting alongside the nutrition section. Welmi also tracks last and first meal times to help keep your schedule consistent.

Does Welmi work with Apple Health?

Yes. The AI chat uses data from Apple Health and tracked metrics to give tailored dietary and workout tips, and the app automatically increases your daily macro goals on workout days, so the calories you burn are factored into how much you can eat while still hitting your targets.

Does Welmi give medical advice?

No. Welmi states explicitly that it does not offer medical advice — all recommendations are general suggestions for habit-building, and anyone with a health condition should consult a qualified professional before making dietary changes.

What are the limitations of Welmi?

Welmi is young (released late 2025, currently around v2.8) and changes quickly, so reviews are still limited. AI photo and body composition accuracy are directional rather than perfect, especially on mixed dishes and inconsistent lighting. The trial paywall has frustrated some users who wanted to evaluate first, and streaks may feel pressuring if you don't enjoy gamification.

Who makes Welmi?

Welmi is built by T-SHAPED APPS LTD. The app launched in September 2025 and has surpassed 100,000 downloads on Android, with regular updates adding fasting tools, body composition, recipe widgets and improved AI accuracy. The team can be reached at [email protected].
