The iced latte took you past it.
Custom metrics
Flagged today
Cocoa is a category where consumer testing has repeatedly found cadmium and lead. No amount is measurable from a photo.
You asked to be told about this one.
Snap it or say it
Photograph your plate, or type a sentence. A frontier reasoning model works out what is on it — calories, protein, carbs, fat and ten more, broken out ingredient by ingredient, with the assumptions it made printed underneath.
Other trackers make you search a database three times a day.
Water that comes from your food
About 20–30% of your daily water arrives as food rather than drink. AIM estimates water in milliliters from every meal — including the water in the food itself — and tracks it as a nutrient, not a separate glass counter.
Other trackers count glasses and ignore everything you ate.
Any nutrient you care about
Folate before pregnancy. Iron after a lab result. Iodine on a plant-based diet. Add a metric with its own name, unit and goal, and AIM estimates it on every meal from then on.
Other trackers give you three macros and a wall.
Caps and alerts, not just goals
Some numbers are ceilings. Cap added sugar at 25 g, sodas at three a week, sodium, saturated fat, alcohol — daily or weekly. The meal that crosses the line is flagged when you log it, with the amount that did it.
Other trackers only know how to count up.
Ingredient flags with the reason attached
Tell AIM what you avoid and it says so when it turns up. It also flags categories with a documented history — cocoa and cadmium, rice and arsenic, protein powder and lead — in one plain sentence. Never a number, because a photograph cannot measure contamination.
Other trackers show you a green score and move on.
Adjust anything on the fly
Got it wrong? Say so. “Actually it was a double”, “no rice”, “add guac” — AIM updates the meal you were just talking about instead of making you delete it and start again. Or tap any number and type over it.
Other trackers make you delete the entry and start again.
Apple Health, both directions
AIM reads your active energy so exercise is reflected in the day, and writes energy and macros back so the rest of your apps can see them. Both are optional, granted per data type, and revocable.
Other trackers often sync one direction, or none.
A food diary you might actually keep
AIM is free on iPhone. Fourteen nutrients per meal, water counted from food, caps on anything you want to stay under.
