A calorie tracker that has heard of burek

Cal AI, MyFitnessPal and the rest are built in English and localised afterwards, if anyone gets to it. Nobody had made a tracker native to Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian or Montenegrin, even though people were searching for exactly that.

The second problem kills more accounts than language does. Manual logging does not survive a real meal, because nobody is going to look up gram weights for a bowl of grah, so the habit collapses within days and the app gets deleted with the blame landing on the user.

Kalo replaces the database with a photograph. The plate gets read into calories and macros, comes back as a structured breakdown in the user's own language within seconds, and stays editable before it logs, so a wrong estimate gets corrected. The camera is the product here, which is why Kalo is a native app rather than a web app.

The model prompt is tuned for the food people here eat, which an American food database has never heard of. A tracker that cannot recognise burek or ćevapi is useless for this market, and the interface carries no English fallback anywhere, because a single untranslated string is the moment an app stops feeling like it was made for you. The model key never touches the phone, because shipping a key inside a mobile binary is handing it to anyone willing to unzip the app. Kalo is one of the builds on the product and SaaS page.
