Built for Indian kitchens · Beta

Nourish
actually gets
your food.

Photo-log a roti, ask the coach about your week, track 25 essential micros alongside your macros. Built for Indian kitchens, not retrofit from a Western macro app.

Estimates, not measurements. Educational, not medical advice. Read the honest bit ↓
What it does

Logs the food. Coaches the journey.
Knows your body.

300+ Indian dishes recognised on day one

Photo-log a roti

Snap a meal, add a hint if you want, and the AI identifies items + portions in seconds. Indian-food-literate by default — no mistaking sambar for "soup".

Streaming replies · ~500ms first token

Coach who reads your week

Ask "how's my protein?" and the coach pulls your last 7 days, replies with the actual numbers, and tells you what to eat next. Cuisine-aware, allergy-safe, never pushy.

Built-in coverage banner · stops false trends

Honest trends

Calorie adherence, protein consistency, weight trajectory, hit-day calendar. When you've only logged 3 of 7 days, the numbers say so — averages over partial data are noise, and we don't pretend otherwise.

25 micros · worst-first surfaced on Trends

Macros + 25 essential micros

Most apps stop at calories, protein, carbs, fat. We track 25 — iron, B12, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, folate, omega-3, the lot. Critical for Indian diets where vegetarian-heavy patterns mean iron + B12 + vitamin D deficiencies are the rule, not the exception.

Pulls from your last 4 weeks of workouts

Exercise plans that fit you

Tell the planner your goal + days you can train + equipment, and it builds a weekly split tied to your bodyweight + history. Not a generic routine.

Hydration ↔ hunger signal

Water + sleep

One-tap water adds. Hours-and-vibe nightly sleep log. Both feed the coach's context — so when you say "I'm hungry," the coach knows you've had 0.4L today.

Navy body-fat from 4 measurements

Body data that actually moves

Weight is a single point. Waist + chest + arm circumferences track real recomp progress. Side-by-side photos privately stored, signed-URL only.

Highest retention surface in the app

Sunday weekly review

Every Sunday evening, a recap of how the week landed: hits, gaps, weight delta, one win + one improvement. Push notification, in-app card, full breakdown.

Region-aware suggestions

Meal builder

Tell the coach "lunch ideas" and it returns 2-3 cuisine-matched suggestions with macros, sized to your remaining day. Ask for a swap. It remembers your dislikes.

Live timer · gentle, never alarmist

Fasting (your tradition)

Standard 16:8 / 18:6 / OMAD protocols available. Indian fasting traditions (Ekadashi, Navratri, Karva Chauth) on the way — coach won't push to eat during your fast.

Crowdsourced cuisine intelligence

Discover recipes

Community-posted Indian recipes with verified macros. Like one, log it with one tap. Best recipes promote into the shared food library so everyone benefits.

Why us

Western macro apps work fine

Honest about what we are

No miracle promises.
Just the math, the photos,
and a coach who reads your week.

What we are NOT
  • Not a medical device

    Nourish is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Don't use it to manage diabetes, eating disorders, pregnancy nutrition, kidney conditions, or any clinical situation without professional supervision.

  • Not a registered dietitian

    Our AI coach gives general nutrition + fitness guidance. For personalised plans tied to a medical condition, allergies that need medical management, or competition prep, work with a credentialed RD or sports nutritionist.

  • Estimates, not measurements

    Photo-identified macros are accurate to within ~15-25% on typical home meals. We surface confidence + let you correct items. Don't trust a single number; trust the trend over weeks.

Your data, plainly
  • Photos stay private

    Meal photos and progress photos live in private storage buckets, accessed via short-TTL signed URLs only. Other users — even other authenticated users — cannot see your photos.

  • Right to be forgotten

    Tap "Delete account" and your data is wiped from every table and storage bucket within minutes. Audit row of the deletion event is retained for compliance — that's it. DPDP / GDPR compliant.

  • Telemetry without PII

    We track product analytics (which features get used, where users drop off) without sending names, emails, food names, or message content. Your meal log stays your meal log.

Calorie + macro estimates derived from photos and food databases carry an inherent error margin. Body-fat % via the US Navy formula is an estimate, not a clinical measurement. Consult a registered dietitian, doctor, or trainer for medical, dietary, or training decisions tied to a clinical condition. Full privacy policy and terms in the footer.

How we operate

Four principles.
Non-negotiable.

Never shame, always autonomy

The coach reframes, not scolds. "200 cal over today — let's make dinner lighter" instead of "you ate too much." We use "you could" + "one option is", never "you must" or "you should".

What we refuse: extreme deficits, fasting beyond 16h without explicit user request, fat-burner supplements, unregulated weight-loss products.

Indian food first, always

Default cuisine palette is Indian unless you tell us otherwise. Native region (South / North / East / West) drives suggestions. The coach knows that "katori" is 100g and "roti" is 40g without asking.

What we refuse: pretending dal is Western "lentil soup", suggesting chole-bhature to a Tamil user, treating ghee as forbidden when it's foundational.

Honest about what AI can do

Photo identification is ~15-25% off on typical meals. We show confidence, let you correct. Trends over a week beat any single estimate. The coach pulls live data via tools rather than guessing from prompt context.

What we refuse: claiming "lab-accurate macros from photos", hiding when AI is uncertain, generating advice without grounding it in the user's actual logged data.

Bulk vs cut is always in context

A user in bulk mode never gets told to eat less. A cut user never gets told a high-calorie meal is "fine." Goal context flows through every coach reply, every nudge, every suggestion.

What we refuse: generic "eat less, move more" advice, ignoring stated goals, pushing weight loss when the user is gaining intentionally.

Who we are

A nutrition app for the billion-plus people the rest of the industry forgot.

Most fitness apps were trained on a Western pantry. They know chicken breast, oatmeal, and avocado toast. They struggle with dosa. They confuse paneer with cottage cheese. They treat ghee like a hazard.

Nourish is the opposite. We started with the assumption that the user eats food cooked in a real Indian kitchen — variable portions, regional traditions, fasting calendars, family-style meals that don't separate cleanly into "100g chicken breast" rows.

The product is built around three loops: log honestly (photos that recognise Indian dishes by default), coach contextually (an AI that pulls your actual data instead of generating generic advice), and review weekly (Sunday recap, deltas, headline win + improvement).

We're early. Some features are in beta. We surface uncertainty rather than hide it — the data-coverage banner, the AI-confidence indicators, the "estimates not measurements" footnotes. Honest products earn trust. Hyped products burn it.

If that resonates, the rest of the page is the proof.

Try it. Log a roti.
See if it gets you.
