Intake 2.1: Voice Logging, Recovery Mode, and a Smarter Coach

Intake 2.1 is the biggest update we have shipped since launch. You can now log an entire day of eating by talking to your phone, rebuild missed days with a one-minute AI conversation, and see how each meal likely affects your energy, fullness, and progress toward your goal. This release is built around one idea: tracking should bend around your life, not the other way around. Here is what is new.
Stop guessing — track any meal, your way.
Calories, macros and micros in seconds. Free on iOS.
Log a Whole Day With Your Voice
Describe what you ate the way you would tell a friend: "I had eggs and toast this morning, a Chipotle bowl for lunch, and salmon with rice tonight." Intake's live voice agent splits that into separate meals, works out portions, and validates the nutrition against a real food database before anything hits your log. When something is ambiguous, it asks instead of guessing. Say "a burrito bowl" and it will check whether you mean a restaurant version or homemade, then pull the right menu item or build it ingredient by ingredient. Combined with photo logging, barcode scanning, and brand-scoped restaurant search, most days can now be logged in under a minute of actual effort.
Never Lose Your Streak Again
Missing a few days used to mean staring at blank charts and a broken streak — the exact moment most people quit tracking altogether. Recovery Mode fixes that. When Intake notices a gap, it offers a short chat: were those normal days, did you eat out, was there a trip? It combines your answers with your own eating patterns to reconstruct each missed day. The estimates are honest by design. They are clearly labeled in your log, shown as grey bars on your charts instead of green, and they never feed your calorie-burn calculations. Your streak and trends survive; your data integrity does too. New members get a version of this from day one: estimate your last few days free when you join, so your charts start with momentum instead of a blank screen.
Understand Your Body, Not Just Your Calories
Every meal now comes with a Body Response view: how it likely affects your energy, fullness, and steadiness over the next few hours, and how well it supports your specific goal. It runs on a deterministic nutrition model, with plain-language explanations so you learn why a meal works, not just its number. The analytics tab has grown with it: weight trend smoothing, adaptive calorie-burn estimation from your real data, steps, consistency scoring, and an AI-powered macros deep-dive. And when you want ideas instead of numbers, the built-in nutrition coach can suggest meals that fit your remaining macros, plan your week, or help you tune your macro targets. Intake 2.1 is available now on the App Store — existing members get everything in this update automatically.

Yes — 2.1 is a free update for all existing members. New members start with a free trial, and the estimate-your-history feature is free during your first week.
How accurate are the AI day estimates?
