About POWR

What the app is, who builds it, what it costs, and what it does not do.

POWR overview Read the page
An iPhone app that reads your sleep, training, meals, and bloodwork together, and turns them into one thing worth doing today. Every figure it quotes comes from your own data.
POWR is free to download, and the free tier is a complete tracker: barcode, search, and manual logging, full nutrition on every entry, adaptive calorie targets, and workout recording. Pro adds the AI.
No. POWR works on iPhone on its own. If you have a watch there is a POWR watch app, and anything else that writes to Apple Health reaches POWR anyway.
Yes, and in both directions. Workouts, heart, sleep, movement, and body data flow in, and POWR writes your workouts, nutrition, water, and weight back.
One switch turns off every AI feature. There is one external provider and one file that can reach it, 36 columns of health data are encrypted individually, and analytics and crash reporting stay off until you turn them on — with no user id, no food names, and no record ids even then. Connected assistants like ChatGPT have their own approval and off switch. Your data walks through the whole boundary.
Not yet. POWR is iPhone-only today because it is built around HealthKit. Android stays on the roadmap.
The company behind POWR Read the page
Derek Delgado founded POWR in 2026 and designs, builds, and supports it. The company behind it is Vitality Wellness LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and that is the name on the App Store listing.
One person. Derek Delgado writes the code, ships the releases, and answers the support inbox, so a bug report reaches the person who can fix it.
POWR is run remotely and has no public street address. Vitality Wellness LLC is formed in Wyoming, in the United States.
From POWR Pro, a subscription at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year through the App Store. There are no ads on either tier, and your health data is not sold or used for advertising.
Email support@powrhealth.com. Derek Delgado reads and answers it himself, within 24 to 48 hours.

Logging and nutrients

The daily loop: what a photo produces, what an entry holds, and where the calorie target comes from.

Photo meal logging Read the page
Snap a meal. POWR estimates calories, macros, and micronutrients from the ingredients it can see. Every estimate is reviewable before it is saved. Photo logging is Pro, unlimited under fair use.
No. Photo logging is Pro. Free covers barcode, search, and manual entry, with the same nutrition detail on every entry. The coach's read on a meal is part of Pro.
Edit it. Change foods, portions, or extras before you save. The camera starts the entry. You finish it.
No. Photo logging runs on iPhone. A watch is optional for the rest of the day.
Yes. Barcode, search, and text entry are unlimited on the free tier.
Recipe scan Read the page
Plan my week is POWR's meal planner. Open Plans and choose the Meals lens; it fills a week of meal slots from saved meals and meal templates. It does not build a workout week.
No. Plan my week fills meal slots in Plans → Meals. Training plans is POWR's separate training planner for blocks such as base, build, peak, and taper.
Yes. POWR can scan a recipe you found on social media and save it into the food log. That is scan-and-save, not a recipe library.
No. POWR has no browsable recipe library and no meal-plan library. It can scan a recipe from social and save it, reuse a meal you already logged, and plan meals with Plan my week. That planner is not a library or a guided diet program.
No. Scan-and-save from social is live. Share-into-app stays unsigned until Product signs that a user can actually share into the app.
No. There is no fasting timer and no fasting protocol in POWR.
Scan-and-save is built for recipes you find on social. Everyday meals still go through photo, barcode, or words. There is no separate recipe-import library.
It lands in your food log like any other meal you logged, with calories, macros, micros, and ingredients. It then sits beside workouts, sleep, and the rest of the day in one system.
POWR has a meal planner called Plan my week in Plans → Meals. It fills the week from saved meals and meal templates. It does not ship a meal-plan library or guided diet programs. It also logs food, including recipes you scanned from social, and connects that log to the rest of your health picture.
Pricing detail stays on pricing. This page does not invent a Free/Pro split for scan-and-save.
Calorie and macro targets Read the page
POWR can adapt calorie and macro targets using your logged history and goals. A standalone calculator provides an estimate from the inputs you give it. Both have uncertainty.
No. Targets are estimates informed by your records, not a direct measurement of metabolism. Missing food entries and short-term weight changes can affect the picture.
Yes. You can choose manual targets rather than adaptive ones.
POWR can flag a goal it cannot support and offer alternatives. This is not a medical assessment or a guarantee of safety.
No. Adaptive calorie and macro targets are included in Free. See pricing.

Our approach

Evidence standards, uncertainty, and the limits of AI guidance.

Our approach Read the page
No. POWR and its learning guides provide general wellness information, not diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for individual care.
Each learning guide links to the publications or public guidance supporting its claims. Our approach explains our evidence standards and limitations.
No. They illustrate public educational methods. They are separate from personalized app targets and do not predict what the app will show.
Contact the team with the page, the specific claim, and a supporting source. Please do not include personal health records.
The POWR coach Read the page
You may see an unavailable response and need to retry. Do not rely on an AI reply for urgent health needs.
Yes, against your account, so you can refer back to it across sessions and devices. It is encrypted at rest, and deleting your account deletes it.
Yes, for AI features. Barcode scanning, database search, manual entry, full nutrition detail, and adaptive calorie and macro targets are free. See pricing.

Connected data

What Apple Health carries, what a lab panel becomes, and what readiness waits for.

Apple Health sync Read the page
Yes. Workouts, heart, sleep, movement, and body measurements flow in from HealthKit, and POWR writes your workouts, nutrition, water, and weight back, so your existing setup keeps working.
No. POWR works on iPhone on its own. If you have a watch there is a POWR watch app, and any other app writing to HealthKit still reaches POWR. Nothing is double-entered.
Start and record a workout from the wrist, log a meal, water, a nap, or a check-in, and see the day and your readiness at a glance. Three complications keep readiness, fuel, and hydration on the watch face. Anything you record there lands in the same diary as the phone.
Four things: the workouts you record in POWR with their route and heart rate, nutrition from the meals you log, water, and weight. Each one is a separate permission you grant, and an ungranted type is skipped rather than nagged about.
No. If the workout is already in Apple Health, POWR can read it. You do not retype a session another app already saved.
Your data is yours. It is not sold or used for ads. You can revoke Health access in iOS Settings at any time.
Bloodwork Read the page
In POWR, open Bloodwork and upload the PDF your lab gave you, or a photo of the printed panel. POWR transcribes every row into a draft. Nothing saves until you confirm. You can also type a single marker by hand.
93, across eight categories: lipids, metabolic, CBC, CMP, thyroid, hormones, vitamins and minerals, and inflammation.
No. POWR uses the reference range printed on your lab report, because that is the range your clinician ordered against for that draw. Shipping our own normal table would invent a different normal than your report, so we do not adjust ranges for age or sex and we do not diagnose.
Uploading bloodwork is available only for POWR Pro users. Users can freely input markers by hand, and browse the catalog, trend lines, and history.
Ten years per marker, and it survives a reinstall.
Uploading the same panel twice stays one entry.
Yes. After a panel is saved, you can edit a row. Before you save, you can map a row POWR did not recognize to the right marker, or exclude a row you do not want.
It is sent to our AI provider to be transcribed, as printed. Anything identifying on the page goes with it. The patient name is never stored. Your results and the lab's name are stored encrypted, and the copy on your phone is deleted as soon as the upload finishes.
Recovery and sleep Read the page
It gives context about recent recovery-related readings using your own history. It is an estimate, not a diagnosis or clearance to train.
There may not be enough recent information. Check your device and Apple Health permissions. Missing information should not be read as a low score.
No. It can help you notice changes in readings, but it cannot diagnose illness or establish what caused a change.
No. ECG samples, beat-to-beat intervals, one-minute heart-rate recovery, and sleeping breathing disturbances remain on-device.
The cycle log you keep inside POWR stays on the phone unless you enable the separate cycle-sync setting. See your data.

Training

Recording, the sessions POWR finds on its own, and where a plan comes from.

Workout tracking Read the page
1,474 catalogue entries: 1,250 movements and 224 activities you can record live. Every one is enabled, carries a plain-language description, and carries search synonyms so a partial name finds it. 1,242 name their equipment across 26 kinds, and 232 need none at all.
The activity decides the screen. A run gets a map, kilometre splits, barometric climb, pace, and live heart rate with zones. A lift gets a set logger with derived rest, superset handling, PR badges, and a plate calculator. A swim gets a pool timer. Everything else gets a clock.
Yes. GPS keeps running locked, the rest timer is anchored to a wall clock so it keeps ticking without the app pushing to it, and the Dynamic Island carries your elapsed time, distance, pace, and heart rate. When you are mid-lift it becomes a rest countdown.
POWR saves workout progress and can offer to resume, save, or discard an interrupted session when you return.
The debrief uses your recorded workout information, but AI responses can contain errors. Verify important details against the session. See the coach.
Recording, the whole catalogue, and your strength history cost nothing. Only the post-workout debrief and the builder's AI door are Pro, and the debrief also needs AI turned on.
Workout detection Read the page
Detection is available from the start and runs on your iPhone. Nothing detected is saved as a workout until you confirm it.
POWR can use background updates from Apple Health. Availability depends on your device, permissions, and the data recorded.
Suggestions can be wrong, but nothing becomes a logged workout without your confirmation. Correct or dismiss the suggestion.
No. It cannot recreate GPS routes, splits, or individual sets that were not recorded.
No. Sleep is read from Apple Health. See recovery and sleep.
Training plans Read the page
Yes, on Pro you can discuss a goal, review a multi-week training plan, and request changes. Review the schedule before you begin.
It depends on the goal, schedule, and available time. Review the proposed phases and sessions before accepting.
POWR can flag when it cannot support the requested schedule. Discuss event readiness with a qualified professional rather than treating an app plan as clearance.
Yes. Request a change in words and review the proposal before accepting it.
You can record areas to avoid loading or to treat cautiously. This is not rehabilitation advice; ask a qualified clinician about exercise with pain or injury.
Targets can change with your training phase. They remain estimates. See calorie targets.

Your data

Consent, storage, encryption, and account controls.

Your data Read the page
Everything that leaves POWR for POWR's own AI providers: photo and label scanning, describing a meal in words, chat, your daily briefing, food verdicts, ingredient explanations, workout breakdowns, reading a lab document, and building or adapting a plan. Barcode scanning, manual logging, and everything already in your history keep working with it off. An AI assistant you connect yourself, such as ChatGPT or Grok, has its own separate approval and its own off switch.
You switch it on during onboarding, on a screen that tells you what it does before you continue. One screen in Settings turns it back off, and everything already logged keeps working without it.
Anthropic, through its Claude models, runs most AI features: photo and description analysis, chat, briefings, lab-document transcription, and plans. Google, through Gemini on Vertex AI, runs voice meal logging, the one-line summaries on health category pages, and the coach's memory of past conversations. Neither may train its models on your data.
It is sent to the AI provider as you supplied it, so it can be transcribed. If it prints your name, date of birth, or record number, that goes with it. The patient name is never stored, your results and the lab's name are encrypted at rest, and the copy on your phone is deleted once the upload finishes. See bloodwork.
Health data is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and in transit using TLS. POWR holds the encryption key, so this is not end-to-end encryption.
It means the practices, not the status. POWR is a consumer wellness app. It is not a covered entity or a business associate under HIPAA, and it is not offered on behalf of any doctor or health plan, so HIPAA does not apply to your data in POWR and nothing here is HIPAA compliance in the legal sense. State consumer health data laws and the privacy policy still protect it. What POWR adopts voluntarily is the security half: health data encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, audit logging of access and modification, access controls and authentication, encryption-failure monitoring, and complete deletion when you remove your account. The privacy policy covers this in section 9.6.
Only if you connect one and approve it on POWR's consent screen, where you pick the categories it may read: recovery and sleep, training, food log and nutrition, body metrics, and your plan. It can read but never change anything, and it never sees cycle data, lab results, clinical records, progress photos, or your coach chats. Once it has the data, OpenAI or xAI handles it under its own privacy policy, not POWR's. Disconnect anytime in Settings → Health connections → Connected agents. The privacy policy has the details.
App analytics and crash reporting require your consent and are off until you enable them. They are limited to product usage and diagnostic information, not the contents of your health diary.
At most six a day that are not safety messages, at least three hours apart, and none between 21:00 and 07:00 unless you change those hours. Every notification is written twice, and the version without your figures is the one that ships unless you turn health details on — headline included, because the first line is the one a bystander reads.

Pricing and support

What Free includes, what Pro adds, and how to get help.

Pricing Read the page
No. The free tier is the trial. If POWR's free experience doesn't earn the upgrade, we shouldn't be charging you for the option.
On iPhone, open Settings, tap your Apple ID, then Subscriptions, then POWR Pro. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you keep Pro until then.
All payments run through Apple. Refunds are handled by Apple too. The fastest path is reportaproblem.apple.com, or in Settings, Apple ID, Subscriptions, POWR Pro, Report a Problem.
Yes. POWR Pro is enabled for Family Sharing through the App Store.
The AI features switch off and the app returns to the Free tier: barcode, search, and manual entry. None of your nutrition history or foods are deleted.
The expensive part of POWR is the AI cost on our side, and it recurs every time someone logs. A subscription is the honest way to charge for that. Annual brings the cost down for people who want to commit, without locking you in long-term.
Support Read the page
Open the home screen menu and choose "Log Food." From there you can scan a meal, scan a barcode, or use manual entry depending on what you are logging.
Open Bloodwork and upload the PDF or a photo of the printed panel. POWR transcribes every row and you review each one before it saves. You can also type a single marker in by hand. See how it works.
Grant access when POWR asks, or turn it on later in iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Health, POWR. Workouts, heart, sleep, movement, and body data flow in, and your workouts, nutrition, water, and weight flow back. See how the sync works.
Yes. Your data is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM, in transit using TLS, and protected with HIPAA-aligned security practices. We never sell your personal information. Read our privacy policy for full details.
Go to Settings, Account, Delete Account. This starts the deletion workflow immediately and removes your account data from active systems after required cleanup completes. For a data export first, contact support at support@powrhealth.com.
POWR offers free and premium tiers. Free covers unlimited barcode, search, and manual logging with full nutrition detail. POWR Pro adds the AI: photo logging, chat, insights, the coach's read on each meal, and periodized training plans. See pricing for the full grid.
Not today. POWR is iPhone-only, because it is built around HealthKit. Android is roadmap, not a live feature, and we will not list it as one.
iPhone, and an Apple Watch if you have one. The watch app records workouts and logs meals, water, naps, and check-ins. Anything else that writes workouts, heart, sleep, movement, body, or cycle data to Apple Health reaches POWR through HealthKit, with your permission per type.
Neither. POWR is a wellness app, not a product-testing laboratory or a medical service. Our approach explains our evidence standards and limitations.
Email support@powrhealth.com with a description of the issue, your device model, and iOS version. Screenshots or screen recordings help.

Switching from another app

What Apple Health carries across, what does not come with you, and what is specific to the app you are leaving.

Moving to POWR Read the page
No. POWR has no importer for a MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, or MacroFactor export, and it does not read nutrition out of Apple Health either — nutrition is a category POWR writes to Health, never reads from it. Your POWR diary starts on the day you install it.
Workouts, sleep, heart data, movement, and body measurements, through Apple Health, as far back as Health kept them. That is read-only and permission by permission: an ungranted type is skipped rather than nagged about.
No. HealthKit is a shared ledger and POWR is one more reader of it. If you keep another app writing workouts or sleep to Health, POWR reads those too. Run both for a fortnight if you want to.
Your diary starts with your first entry. Connected history can provide context, while adaptive features may need more of your own records. Timing depends on the data available.
POWR writes your workouts, nutrition, water, and weight to Apple Health as you go, so what you logged here is in the shared ledger rather than only in POWR. Deleting the app does not take that with it.
From MyFitnessPal Read the page
No. POWR has no importer, and it does not read nutrition out of Apple Health either — nutrition is a category POWR writes to Health rather than reads from it. Your workouts, sleep, heart, and weight history do come across through Health. Your food log does not. What moves and what does not covers it in full.
If those weigh-ins are in Apple Health and you grant access, POWR can read them. History stored only in the previous app does not transfer. Your food diary starts fresh in POWR.
Yes. Calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, and ingredient-level data are on every entry, free. What POWR Pro adds is the AI: photo logging, chat, daily insights, and the coach's read on a meal.
No. MyFitnessPal's crowd-sourced catalogue is far larger and POWR does not match it. POWR covers barcode scanning, database search, manual entry, and saved meals, and photo logging on Pro is there for the plate that no database was ever going to have.
No. There are no ads on either tier. App analytics and crash reporting require consent and remain off unless enabled. See your data for the controls.
From Lose It Read the page
No. POWR is iPhone only, so if you are logging on Android this is not a switch you can make today. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
If those weigh-ins are in Apple Health and you grant access, POWR can read them. History stored only in the previous app does not transfer. Your food diary starts fresh in POWR.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight all come across through Health. The diary does not. What moves and what does not has the full accounting.
No. The large calorie-counter catalogues are bigger and POWR does not match them. POWR covers barcode scanning, database search, manual entry, and saved meals, holds micronutrients on every free entry, and adds photo logging on Pro for the plate no database was ever going to have.
No. There is no streak counter and no badge shelf, and notifications are deliberately restrained — restraint as a mechanism rather than a promise. If a streak is the thing that keeps you logging, that is a real reason to stay where you are.
From Cronometer or MacroFactor Read the page
This migration page covers the shared boundary: POWR does not import either food diary. For feature differences, use POWR versus MacroFactor; for the move itself, check which records are already available in Apple Health.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight all come across through Health. The diary starts on install day. What moves and what does not has the full accounting.
No. Cronometer's verified database is the deepest in the category and it is why people use it. POWR covers barcode, search, manual entry, and saved meals, holds micronutrients on every free entry, and adds photo logging on Pro for the food no database has.
Yes. Calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, and ingredient data are on every entry, free, along with adaptive calorie and macro targets recalculated weekly. POWR Pro is the AI: photo logging, chat, daily insights, and the coach's read.
No. Apple Health brings workouts, heart, sleep, and weight in when they exist, from whatever wrote them. The phone is enough to log food.
On iPhone: Settings, your Apple ID, Subscriptions, POWR Pro. You keep Pro until the end of the current period.
From Carbon Diet Coach Read the page
No. POWR provides software guidance, not a human check-in coach. AI responses can contain errors, so check important details and do not use them for medical decisions.
POWR can adapt calorie and macro targets using your food logs, weight history, and goals. These remain estimates, not direct measurements of metabolism.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight come across through Health. What moves and what does not has the full accounting.
No. POWR is iPhone only. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
On iPhone: Settings, your Apple ID, Subscriptions, POWR Pro. You keep Pro until the end of the current period.
From Yazio Read the page
Not a library of them. POWR can scan a recipe from social and save it, you can save a meal you have logged and reuse it, and Plan my week is its meal planner. What it does not have is a browsable recipe library, a meal-plan library, or guided diet programs.
No. There is no fasting timer and no fasting protocol in the app.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight come across through Health. What moves and what does not has the full accounting.
Yes. Calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, and ingredient-level data are on every entry, free, along with adaptive calorie and macro targets. POWR Pro is the AI: photo logging, chat, insights, and the coach's read.
No. POWR is iPhone only. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
From Lifesum Read the page
POWR does not display a food grade. On Pro, the coach discusses your meal in language, alongside its nutrition information.
Read Our approach for evidence standards, uncertainty, and corrections. The learning library answers general nutrition and activity questions with linked sources.
POWR has Plan my week, its meal planner, but no browsable diet or lifestyle-plan library and no guided diet programs. Structured training plans are a separate Pro feature.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight come across through Health.
No. POWR is iPhone only. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
From Cal AI Read the page
No. Photo logging, chat, insights, and the coach's read are POWR Pro. Barcode scanning, database search, manual entry, and the full nutrition breakdown on every entry are free and unmetered. Pricing has every row of it.
No. POWR has no importer, and it does not read nutrition out of Apple Health — nutrition is a category POWR writes to Health rather than reads from it. Your diary starts on install day. What moves and what does not covers the rest.
It estimates from the images and information you provide. Photos can miss ingredients and portions, so POWR shows an editable draft before saving. Review it rather than treating the result as a measured calorie count.
Probably. If a single number under a photograph is the whole job, a scanner does that with less app around it. POWR is built for the person who wants to know what was in the food, not only how much of it there was.
No. POWR is iPhone only. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
From SnapCalorie Read the page
This page will not claim it. Both apps estimate from a photograph, published accuracy figures are measured on different data and different plates, and none of them tells you anything about your dinner. What POWR commits to is narrower: you see the estimate, you can correct it, and nothing counts until you do.
You edit it. Items, portions, and totals are all editable in the draft before it saves, and an entry can be re-analysed afterwards. The correction is yours and it sticks.
No. Photo logging, chat, insights, and the coach's read are POWR Pro. Barcode scanning, database search, manual entry, and the full nutrition breakdown on every entry are free and unmetered.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight come across through Health.
No. POWR is iPhone only. An Android app is on the roadmap rather than in the current release.
From Bevel Read the page
No data. Both apps read the same HealthKit ledger, so POWR reads exactly the history you already have. This is the one migration where nothing has to move, because nothing was ever locked up.
Yes. HealthKit is shared and POWR is one more reader of it. Nothing POWR does stops another app reading or writing the same types, so running both for a fortnight costs you nothing.
Yes, and it is the half POWR is built around. Every entry carries calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, and ingredient data on the free tier. Photo logging and the coach's read on a meal are POWR Pro.
POWR provides a recovery estimate using your own history. It may be unavailable without enough recent information. See recovery and sleep.
For readiness, something has to be measuring your nights. For the food half, the phone is enough on its own.

Comparisons

Side by side with the apps people weigh POWR against, including the rows POWR loses.

POWR and MyFitnessPal Read the page
POWR is one iPhone option. It combines a food diary with workout recording, periodized training plans, recovery, and 93 bloodwork biomarkers from a reviewed PDF or photo. MyFitnessPal still has the larger food catalogue, and POWR does not claim otherwise.
For food logging on iPhone, it can be. POWR includes micronutrient detail on free entries, adaptive targets, workout records, and a Pro coach. Your old food diary does not import; compare the catalogue and platform support before switching.
Not the food log. POWR has no importer and does not read nutrition out of Apple Health — nutrition is a category POWR writes to Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight all come across through Health. The switch page has the full accounting.
Because it would be wrong eventually and there would be no signal when it became wrong. Prices and tiers move without warning. POWR publishes its own, in full, on pricing, and leaves the other side of the comparison to the source that is actually current.
No ads on either tier. App analytics and crash reporting remain off unless enabled with consent. See your data for the controls.
POWR and Cronometer Read the page
No. Cronometer's verified database is deeper and better sourced. POWR holds calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, and ingredient-level data on every free entry, which covers most questions, and adds photo logging on Pro for food no database has. If the exact sourced value is what you are after, Cronometer is where it lives.
POWR brings meal discussion on Pro together with workout recording, training plans, recovery, and bloodwork. Compare that connected workflow with the nutrient database and reporting you use in Cronometer; check its publisher for current capabilities.
Yes. HealthKit is a shared ledger and POWR is one more reader of it. POWR writes nutrition, workouts, water, and weight to Health; if another app is writing workouts or sleep there, POWR reads those too. Nutrition is the one category POWR will not read in, so the two diaries stay separate.
POWR does not display a food grade. On Pro, the coach discusses your meal in language, alongside its nutrition information.
POWR and MacroFactor Read the page
POWR is one iPhone option when you want food logging, workout recording, periodized plans, recovery, and 93 bloodwork biomarkers in the same app. It does not have MacroFactor's adaptive expenditure model. POWR can adapt calorie targets using your records, but does not reproduce another app’s results.
POWR can adapt calorie and macro targets using your food logs, weight history, and goals. These remain estimates, not direct measurements of metabolism.
You may prefer a diary without commentary. POWR Pro can discuss the ingredients and nutrition in a logged meal in language, without displaying a food grade. AI guidance can be wrong; our approach page explains its limits.
It requires POWR Pro and it requires AI consent, which is a switch you control. With the switch off there is no AI anywhere in the app and the deterministic half — barcode, search, manual entry, nutrition breakdown, calorie targets — still works. The switch and what it covers.
No. POWR has no importer, and nutrition is a category it writes to Apple Health rather than reads from it. Workouts, sleep, heart, and weight come across through Health. The switch page covers both apps.
POWR and Cal AI Read the page
POWR is one iPhone option. Its Pro plan combines editable AI food logging with workout building, periodized training plans, recovery, and coach chat. POWR has no free AI scans or trial, so choose it for the connected product rather than for a free camera allowance.
No. There is no free AI allowance and no trial, so photo logging, chat, insights, and the coach's read all require POWR Pro. The free tier is the deterministic half: barcode, search, manual entry, the full nutrition breakdown on every entry, and adaptive calorie and macro targets. Pricing states it plainly.
This page will not claim it. Both apps estimate from a photograph, any published accuracy figures are measured on different data and different plates, and none of them tells you anything about your dinner. What POWR commits to is narrower and checkable: you see the estimate, you can correct every part of it, and nothing counts until you do.
It produces an editable draft you review, and the meal is written to Apple Health once you save it. Health data is encrypted at rest, never sold, and the AI consent switch gates every model call. The switch, the boundary, and the audit trail.
It is a food diary with the nutrition breakdown on every free entry, plus recovery, training plans, workout detection, and bloodwork on the same ledger. Whether that is more app than you want is a fair question, and if a single number under a photograph is the job, the answer is probably yes.
POWR and Fitbod Read the page
Yes, on iPhone, if you want strength logging and periodized plans connected to food, recovery, Apple Health, bloodwork, and coach chat. Fitbod remains the more specialized choice for personalized strength-workout recommendations.
POWR is one option, but check both current prices before deciding. POWR publishes its own price on pricing and combines lifting, nutrition, recovery, labs, and AI workflows on the same Pro plan.
POWR Pro builds deterministic multi-week plans with goal-specific phases, progression, and deloads. Fitbod specializes in generating the next personalized strength workout from training history, muscle recovery, goals, equipment, and preferences. They are different planning models.
Yes. POWR tracks reps, load, timed and distance movements, supersets, derived rest, reps in reserve, previous schemes, and personal records. Workout recording is free.
Yes, when Fitbod writes compatible workouts to Apple Health and you grant POWR access. POWR can read the shared workout into its day, although Fitbod's internal recommendation state remains in Fitbod.
POWR and Hevy Read the page
Yes, for set logging on iPhone, especially if you also want nutrition, periodized plans, recovery, bloodwork, and coach chat. No, if Hevy's social feed, cross-platform access, or community routines are the reason you use it.
POWR combines a strength logger with food, calorie and macro targets, sleep, readiness, muscle recovery, Apple Health, and bloodwork on iPhone.
No. POWR has no public workout feed, clubs, or follower graph. Hevy is the better choice when social training is a core requirement.
Yes, on POWR Pro. The training planner builds strength PR and hypertrophy blocks with phases, progression, and deloads. Workout recording itself is free.
Yes, when Hevy writes a compatible workout to Apple Health and you grant POWR access. POWR can read the workout into its daily record while Hevy keeps its own routine and community features.
POWR and Bevel Read the page
Yes. Both cover nutrition, training, recovery, and health information. Compare the logging experience, supported connections, planning workflow, and current pricing rather than assuming one app lacks entire categories.
Bevel centers recovery, strain, sleep, stress, and Energy Bank, with nutrition, plans, strength, and health records now in the same product. POWR centers one explainable record across food, workout recording, structured plans, recovery, and labs. The category lists overlap more than they differ.
Bevel is the more recovery-first product and is the safer choice when that is the main job. POWR is the broader choice when recovery needs to sit beside a detailed food diary, adaptive calorie estimates, periodized training, and a reviewed bloodwork workflow.
Much of the underlying workout, sleep, heart, movement, weight, and body data can already be in Apple Health for POWR to read. Nutrition is different: POWR does not read it from Health and has no importer, so the food diary starts over. The Bevel switch page has the full accounting.
Check Bevel's current pricing and compare it with POWR's published price. This page does not quote a competitor tier because price and included features can change without warning.
POWR and Athlytic Read the page
Yes, if you want Apple Health recovery connected to food, adaptive targets, workout recording, periodized plans, bloodwork, and coach chat. Athlytic is the stronger specialist when recovery, exertion, Watch surfaces, and all-on-device processing are the main requirements.
POWR combines sleep and readiness with a complete food diary, macros, micronutrients, ingredients, hydration, adaptive calorie targets, workouts, plans, and bloodwork on iPhone.
Athlytic is the recovery-first choice, with Recovery, Exertion, target exertion, live workouts, and extensive Watch widgets. POWR is the broader choice when recovery needs to share a record with nutrition, plans, labs, and coach chat.
Some heart and recovery displays have no server path and are computed on the iPhone. POWR also uses encrypted sync, and its optional AI features use model services only after consent. Athlytic describes its whole calculation model as on-device.
Yes. Both can read granted Apple Health data. You can keep Athlytic for its recovery and Watch surfaces while using POWR for food, targets, training plans, bloodwork, and coach chat.

Questions people ask before they know POWR

Unbranded questions about goals, Apple Watch, price, app consolidation, recipe scanning, workout building, coaching, and lab PDFs.

Scan a social recipe Read the page
On iPhone, share the post, reel, link, or screenshot to POWR. POWR reads the recipe, builds ingredients and per-serving nutrition for you to review, and saves it to your library. It does not mark the recipe as eaten. When you make it, choose how many servings you ate and log that amount.
POWR is one iPhone option. Share a public recipe link, post, reel, screenshot, photo, or text to POWR. It creates an editable recipe with ingredients and per-serving nutrition, saves it to your library, and lets you log a serving when you actually eat it.
Yes. On iPhone, share the public post, reel, link, or a screenshot to POWR. Review the ingredients, servings, and nutrition, then save the recipe and log the amount you eat later.
Open the iPhone share sheet from the social app and choose POWR. Review the editable recipe POWR creates, then save it to your library. If the link is private or login-walled, share a screenshot instead.
No. A share is food you may eat later, so POWR saves it to your library. Open the saved recipe when you eat it, choose the servings you ate, and log that amount. The diary remains a record of food you actually ate.
Yes. POWR stores the whole recipe and its yield, shows nutrition per serving, and lets you choose how many servings to log when you eat it.
No. POWR saves recipes you share or create, but it does not provide a browsable recipe catalogue or a meal-plan library. Plan my week is a meal planner, not a library or a guided diet program. There is no fasting timer.
Yes. Once reviewed, a POWR recipe can carry calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, ingredients, and per-serving nutrition in the same model as another food entry.
Share the TikTok link or a screenshot to POWR, review the ingredients, servings, and nutrition, then save the recipe. Saving does not add food to your diary. Open the saved recipe and log the servings when you eat it.
Yes. Share the screenshot to POWR from the iPhone share sheet. POWR reads the visible recipe text and food into an editable draft, which is also the fallback when a private or login-walled post does not expose its caption.
Upload a lab PDF Read the page
Yes. Upload the PDF your lab gave you, or photograph a printed panel. POWR transcribes the report into 93 tracked biomarkers, shows you every row before anything saves, and keeps the reference ranges printed by your own lab. It tracks the result over time but does not diagnose or interpret it.
POWR belongs on the shortlist when you want to upload a PDF or photo, review every extracted row, and keep a history across 93 biomarkers. It uses the reference ranges printed by your lab and does not interpret or diagnose the result. Compare any lab tracker on review, marker coverage, unit handling, privacy, and whether it clearly separates tracking from medical advice.
In POWR, you can enter supported biomarkers manually for free or use Pro to upload a lab PDF or photo. Review every extracted row before saving, then follow the values over time across a 93-biomarker catalogue.
POWR tracks 93 biomarkers across lipids, metabolic panels, CBC, CMP, thyroid, hormones, vitamins and minerals, and inflammation. The upload matches the labels on your report to that catalogue.
No. POWR stores the reference range printed by your own lab. It has no built-in range table and does not adjust a range for age or sex.
Reading a PDF or photo is a Pro feature and requires AI features to be enabled. Manual marker entry, the biomarker catalogue, trend charts, and history are free. See pricing.
A portal usually holds results from one provider. POWR lets you add a PDF or photo from a lab, review the transcription, and keep supported markers in one history beside the rest of your health data. It does not replace the original report or the clinician who ordered it.
It can store supported results from different reports over time. Trends stay unit-aware, and each result keeps the reference range printed by the lab that produced it.
Yes. Photograph the printed panel, review the extracted rows, and save the supported values to POWR's history across 93 biomarkers. Each result keeps its date, unit, and the reference range printed by that lab. POWR tracks the values but does not interpret them.
Choose a clear photo of the report in POWR, review the rows it matched, remap or exclude anything it did not recognize, confirm the draw date, and save. The document reader requires POWR Pro and AI features to be enabled.

An affordable AI workout builder Read the page
POWR is one iPhone option at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. POWR Pro builds workouts and multi-week plans, lets you revise a plan by talking to it, and includes AI food logging and coach chat on the same subscription. Discuss the goal and review the proposed plan before accepting it.
Periodized training plans and chat revisions are included in POWR Pro at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. The same plan includes AI food logging, AI coach chat, and insights.
POWR offers AI-assisted planning on Pro. You discuss your goal and review the proposed schedule before accepting. The public product explanation covers this workflow, not the underlying implementation.
Yes. You can ask for a change in conversation. POWR turns it into a typed proposal with a scope and rationale, shows it to you, and applies it only after you confirm.
On Pro, POWR builds multi-week training plans with goal-specific phases, progression, and easier weeks. Review the proposed schedule and changes before accepting.
Yes. In POWR, calorie and macro targets can shift with the phase of an active training plan. Examples include long-run fuel floors, a taper that stops asking for a deficit, and a diet break inside a long cut.
POWR puts periodized training plans beside sleep, readiness, and muscle recovery in the same iPhone app. Recovery is read against your own baseline, and the plan builder and deeper AI features are included in POWR Pro.
Yes. Describe your goal and constraints in conversation, review the structured request, and let POWR build the plan. Later changes become typed proposals that you review before code applies them.
A cheaper AI fitness coach Read the page
Yes. POWR Pro costs $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year and includes AI coach chat grounded in your own logged data. The same plan includes AI food logging, insights, meal reads, and periodized training plans. If the coaching app you are replacing costs more, POWR is the cheaper option, and it replaces more than the chat window.
AI coach chat is included in POWR Pro at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. The same plan includes AI food logging, insights, meal reads, and periodized training plans.
No. It is software grounded in your own logged data. It is not a clinician, does not provide medical advice, and cannot replace a person who can observe you directly.
The coach uses relevant information from your logs. AI responses can contain errors, so check important details and do not use them for medical decisions.
POWR coach chat can use the request-relevant slice of your meals, nutrition, workouts, plans, recovery, and trends. You do not have to paste that history into a separate chatbot, and AI access remains behind a consent switch.
Yes. POWR combines nutrition, workout recording, periodized plans, recovery, and AI coach chat in one iPhone app. Coach chat and the other AI workflows are included in POWR Pro at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year.
POWR reads the Apple Health categories you grant into the same record used by its coaching surfaces. A coach request receives only the context needed for that answer, and no model call occurs unless AI features are enabled.
Food, workouts, health data, and bloodwork Read the page

No. Apple Health remains the shared ledger on iPhone. POWR reads the categories you grant and writes workouts recorded in POWR, nutrition, water, and weight back, so other devices and apps can keep working.
POWR combines Apple Health data, food logging, workout recording, and multi-week training plans on iPhone. It reads the Health categories you grant and writes workouts recorded in POWR, nutrition, water, and weight back.
Yes. POWR logs food through photos, barcodes, search, manual entry, and shared recipes, then places that diary beside the workout, sleep, heart, movement, and body data you allow it to read from Apple Health.
POWR keeps meals, macros, micronutrients, hydration, sleep, readiness, muscle recovery, and training in one iPhone app. Recovery is measured against your own baseline rather than a population average.
POWR can cover the daily jobs across all three: nutrition logging, workout recording and planning, and reviewed history across 93 bloodwork biomarkers. It does not replace the original lab report, clinical interpretation, or a specialized app you still prefer to keep connected through Apple Health.
Yes. POWR Pro costs $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year and includes AI food logging, coach chat, insights, and periodized training plans. These are not separate POWR add-ons.

Log food in POWR by photo, barcode, search, manual entry, or a saved recipe. Calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, and ingredients sit in the same daily record as workouts recorded in POWR or read from Apple Health.
Weight loss Read the page
There is no single best app for everyone. POWR is one iPhone option if you want food logging, an adaptive calorie target informed by your records, workouts, a structured weight-loss plan, recovery, and coach chat in one record. Core tracking is free. AI meal photos, chat, and periodized plans require POWR Pro.
POWR is one iPhone option. It places food, calorie and macro targets, workout recording, structured plans, sleep, recovery, and weight trends in the same daily record.
POWR can adapt calorie and macro targets using your food logs, weight history, and goals. These remain estimates, not direct measurements of metabolism.
The core tracking is free: barcode, search, manual food entry, nutrition detail, workout recording, and adaptive calorie and macro targets. Photo logging, coach chat, insights, and periodized plans require POWR Pro.
Yes, on POWR Pro. Review a multi-week plan and its proposed schedule. Nutrition targets can also change with the training phase.
Yes. You can log strength sessions while following calorie and macro targets, or use a structured plan that coordinates training and nutrition. Results are not guaranteed, and the app is not medical care.
Strength training Read the page
The best choice depends on whether you need the deepest lifting community or one connected training and nutrition record. POWR combines a free set logger, personal records, macros and micronutrients, sleep and recovery, and Pro periodized strength plans on iPhone. It is for someone who wants lifting and food to inform the same day, not someone who wants a social network around the gym log.
POWR combines a set logger with calories, macros, micronutrients, ingredients, hydration, body trends, sleep, and recovery on iPhone.
POWR calculates calorie and macro targets and can move them with the phase of an active training plan. It tracks food rather than prescribing a fixed meal menu.
POWR keeps set and lift history, pre-fills the previous scheme, estimates 1RM within its stated rep range, and marks new records. Its periodized plans also prescribe progression by phase.
On Pro, POWR builds multi-week training plans with goal-specific phases, progression, and easier weeks. Review the proposed schedule and changes before accepting.
POWR has an Apple Watch app for recording workouts and quick logging. The iPhone workout screen carries the full set logger, movement catalogue, rest logic, history, and plate calculator.
Running Read the page
POWR is one iPhone option. It records routes, kilometre splits, pace, barometric climb, and heart rate; builds periodized 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon plans on Pro; shifts nutrition targets with the training phase; and keeps sleep and recovery beside the plan. It is not a route-discovery network or a substitute for a running coach.
Yes. POWR Pro can build a sixteen-week marathon plan with base, build, peak, and taper phases, while POWR also tracks food, hydration, macros, micronutrients, sleep, and recovery.
POWR places recorded runs, routes, splits, food, hydration, sleep, readiness, and body trends in the same iPhone record.
POWR can shift calorie and macro targets with the phase of an active plan. Its running strategy includes a long-run fuel floor and a taper that stops asking for a deficit.
Yes, on POWR Pro. The minimum structures are eight weeks for 5K, ten for 10K, twelve for a half marathon, and sixteen for a marathon.
No. POWR can record a run on iPhone with GPS, pace, splits, and barometric climb. A compatible watch can add heart-rate and other Health data, but it is optional.
Apple Watch Read the page
There is no universal best Apple Watch app. POWR fits someone who wants Watch workout recording and quick logging connected to iPhone nutrition, periodized plans, sleep, recovery, body data, and bloodwork. It reads compatible data that other apps and devices write to Apple Health, so choosing POWR does not require replacing every Watch app you already use.
POWR combines Watch workout recording and quick logging with a full iPhone food diary, workout history, plans, sleep, recovery, body data, and coach chat.
Yes, when the other app writes a compatible workout to Apple Health and you grant POWR access. POWR reads the shared workout instead of asking you to enter it again.
Yes. Workouts recorded in POWR can be written to Apple Health with route and heart-rate samples when those exist, and they are stamped so POWR does not import its own write as a duplicate.
Yes. POWR works on iPhone by itself. A Watch adds a wrist app and can contribute sensor data, but it is not required for food logging, plans, bloodwork, or iPhone workout recording.
No. POWR currently runs on iPhone and Apple Watch. Android and Wear OS are not released platforms.
Replace an app stack Read the page
Yes, if the jobs you need are food logging, calorie and macro targets, workout recording, periodized plans, sleep and recovery, Apple Health data, bloodwork, and AI coach chat on iPhone. POWR covers those in one app and one Pro subscription for the AI features. It will not import an old food diary, replace medical care, or match every specialist app on its deepest feature.
It can replace the core jobs if you need food logging, targets, workout recording, periodized plans, sleep, and recovery on iPhone. It will not match MyFitnessPal's catalogue size, every specialist workout recommendation, or every recovery widget. Compare the job you use, not only the app name.
Compatible workouts, routes, sleep, heart, movement, weight, and body data can arrive through Apple Health. Old food history does not move because POWR has no importer and does not read nutrition from Health.
Yes. If the workout app writes compatible sessions to Apple Health, POWR can read them into the shared day while handling food, targets, recovery, bloodwork, and coach surfaces.
It can be, but compare the current total yourself. POWR Pro is $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year and includes its AI food logging, coach chat, insights, and periodized plans. Prices and included features in other apps can change.
Check platform support, the food and exercise catalogues, Health read and write directions, historical imports, free and paid boundaries, privacy, the specialist features you use weekly, and how cancellation affects access to your data.
