About Vitality

Vitality is built to keep the three things that actually decide how you eat in one place: what you ate, what is in the house, and what you did about it. Log a meal and it does the math — calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre, per item and per meal, against targets computed on-device from your own height, weight, age and activity level. The pantry knows the difference between the cupboard, the fridge and the freezer, grouping items by category with quantities and expiry dates so "what do I already have" has an answer before you shop. Workouts sit next to the food rather than in a separate app, with Apple Health read for steps and activity, and the analytics tab puts training and eating on the same page across a week, a month, or three. Photo scanning, pantry scanning and recipe suggestions are optional and run on Anthropic's API using a key you supply in Settings — stored in your device's Keychain, sent only to Anthropic, billed by them directly with no cut or markup from me. Everything else works with no key and no network. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no server: all of it lives on your iPhone.

Who it's for

Anyone tracking macros seriously who is tired of a food log, a pantry note and a training app that never talk to each other.

What it does

  • Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre per item and per meal
  • Targets computed on-device from your height, weight, age and activity level
  • Pantry split across cupboard, fridge and freezer with expiry tracking
  • Workouts logged alongside food, with Apple Health for steps and activity
  • Weekly, monthly and three-month trends, by calories or by macro
  • Optional AI photo and pantry scanning on an Anthropic key you supply
  • Your key lives in the Keychain, goes only to Anthropic, and is billed to you directly
  • No key and no network needed for anything except the AI features
  • No account, no analytics, no advertising — all local
  • Proa one-time purchase for an unlimited pantry and the month and 3-month trends

Behind the build

The first thing this app needed was not a feature.

Services/APIKeys.swift held a live Anthropic key as a static let, compiled straight into the binary, with comments directly beneath it explaining why that must never happen. Anything in an app bundle is extractable with strings, Anthropic's terms do not permit distributing a key in a client, and it meant every user would have spent one person's quota — so the app could not have shipped to a second person at all. It is now a key the user supplies, held in the Keychain and marked so it is not restored onto a different device from a backup. The honest trade is that bring-your-own-key is a wall most consumers will not climb; the seam for a hosted proxy is in place for when that becomes the answer.
