Logging by talking
Can I just tell the app what I ate instead of searching a database?
Yes. You describe the meal in one sentence, by typing or speaking, and Metrify logs every item in it. "Chicken breast, rice, broccoli, and a diet coke" logs four separate entries from a single message. There is no search box to work through, no result list to scroll, and no serving size to set for each item unless you want to change one.
Can I correct a meal after the app has logged it?
Yes, by saying so in the same conversation. If you say "actually make that two eggs, not three", the assistant edits the entry it already wrote. It does not create a second entry and leave you to delete the first one, because it has direct access to your log rather than only to the conversation.
Can I ask the app questions about what I have already eaten?
Yes. The assistant can read your logged history back to you. You can ask how much protein you have left today, what your average calories were last week, or whether you have been more consistent this week than last. The answers come from your actual logged data rather than an estimate.
Can I log a meal I have eaten before without describing it again?
Yes. Saying "same lunch as yesterday" pulls your actual previous entry and logs it again, rather than making you rebuild the meal item by item.
Does Metrify work by voice?
Yes. You can speak your message instead of typing it. Because the assistant handles a whole meal from one sentence, speaking a meal takes about as long as saying it out loud to another person.
Can I take a photo of my food instead?
Yes, with Premium. You can also combine a photo with typed detail in the same message. If you send a picture of your plate and type "the rice was about 300g", Metrify takes the rest of the meal from the photo and uses your stated amount for the rice, without logging the rice twice.
Can I log my weight by talking to the app?
Yes. Saying "I weighed 178 this morning" records the weigh-in. You can correct or delete a weigh-in the same way, and if you are moving over from another app you can backfill a whole history of past weigh-ins in a single message.
This is worth checking in any app you are considering, because a chat assistant that can discuss your weight is not the same as one that can record it. Weight, food, and workouts all go through the same conversation in Metrify, and all of them are stored on your device.
Can I log workouts in the same place?
Yes. Saying "log 3x8 bench at 185" records the workout in the same conversation as your food. Metrify also includes Workout Lab for building routines and tracking sets, reps, and training history, so strength training is recorded as training rather than only as a calorie estimate.
Accuracy and privacy
Where is my data stored?
On your device. Every food log, weigh-in, workout, goal, and custom food is stored locally in a database on your phone, not on a server. If you delete the app, the data is gone, because it was never anywhere else. Metrify does not sell data, show ads, or work with data brokers.
Does the AI make up the calorie numbers?
No. The AI's job is to understand what you said and match it to the right food in a 447,000-item USDA-backed catalog. Every calculation, including calories, macros, BMR, exercise burn, and weight projections, is computed with fixed formulas on your device. The model reads, the formulas count.
Will it remember that I am vegetarian or have dietary restrictions?
Yes. Tell the assistant once, for example "remember that I am vegetarian" or that you are eating gluten free, and it carries that into every future conversation. These durable facts are stored on your device and are not limited to a preset list of diets. You can remove one at any time by asking it to forget.
Does my calorie goal go up when I log exercise?
No, and this is deliberate. Metrify builds your daily goal on a sedentary baseline using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, and counts logged exercise once on the burn side. Your goal does not move when you train.
Many trackers add burned calories back to your daily allowance. If the activity level you chose at setup already accounted for your training, that counts the same calories twice and quietly shrinks your real deficit. The longer version is in why your workout should count once.
Pricing and platforms
How much does Metrify cost?
Metrify Premium is $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year.
Is there a free version?
Yes, and it is permanent rather than a trial. The free tier includes unlimited manual food, weight, and workout logging, the full Workout Lab, full progress charts and history, Apple Health and Google Health Connect sync, three AI chat messages per day, and exactly the same on-device data storage as Premium. Premium adds near-unlimited AI chat and photo meal logging.
What platforms does Metrify run on?
iOS and Android. Metrify syncs with Apple Health on iOS and Google Health Connect on Android, pulling in weight, workouts, steps, and sleep, with you approving what gets logged. Metrify is in beta as of July 2026, with full release planned for August 2026.
What does Metrify not do?
Metrify does not do meal planning, recipe import, or grocery lists. It does not have a web app, which is a direct consequence of keeping your data on your phone. It does not currently write nutrition data back into Apple Health. It is built for recording what you did and analyzing the results, not for planning what to buy.
Summary
Metrify is a fitness and nutrition tracker you operate by talking to it. You describe a meal in one sentence and it logs every item, edits entries when you correct them, answers questions from your logged history, repeats previous meals on request, and records workouts in the same conversation. It also accepts photos and barcodes. All fitness data is stored locally on the device. Metrify Premium is $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year, with a permanent free tier for manual logging.
