Yes. Total Calories reads from Apple Health in read-only mode. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your health data stays on your device and is never uploaded. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple and to RevenueCat, our billing provider, to check your subscription status. Neither ever receives your health data.
Privacy Policy →How it's built.
Most calorie trackers make you log every meal manually and create an account. I wanted something that just shows what Apple Health already knows.
Total Calories reads your active energy and steps from HealthKit, calculates a simple total, and displays it on your wrist. No signup, no cloud, no tracking. The core app is free.
An optional upgrade for people who want to go deeper. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase is available, with a 7-day free trial on subscriptions. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region.
Net Deficit. Calories burned minus food energy from Apple Health. Works with MyFitnessPal, Lose It, and any food tracker that writes to Health. Shows up on your dashboard, history charts, widgets, and Apple Watch.
PDF Reports. Print-ready monthly summaries and custom-range reports. Calorie trends, step trends, goal achievement, peak days, period-over-period changes. Generated on-device, so nothing uploads.
Deep Trends. Compare any period to the one before it. See exactly how your activity is changing week-over-week or month-over-month, in calories and steps.
Active vs. Resting Breakdown. See how much of your burn comes from movement vs. metabolism, right on the dashboard.
TDEE calculator, BMR calculator, and active vs resting calories on Apple Watch: what the numbers mean and how the Watch measures them. Also: how many calories do I burn a day, and the best app to track calories burned on Apple Watch, compared.
Yes. Total Calories adds your total calories burned (active plus resting) to your Apple Watch face as a complication in circular, rectangular, inline, and corner styles, and includes a full watch app.
Install Total Calories on your iPhone, then add its complication to any watch face that has a complication slot. Apple's Move ring counts active calories only, while this app shows active plus resting.
Active calories are what you burn through movement and exercise, and resting calories are what your body burns at rest to keep running. Total Calories reads both from Apple Health and adds them for your daily total, and Vitals+ shows the active versus resting breakdown.
Yes. Vitals+ shows TDEE and BMR reference figures, which are your 30-day maintenance and resting energy averages taken from Apple Health. The site also has free TDEE and BMR calculator guides.
No. It is a calories burned app, so it does not log meals. With Vitals+, Net Deficit subtracts food energy that another food app, such as MyFitnessPal or Lose It, already writes to Apple Health.
The core app is free to download and needs no account. Tracking, widgets, and the Apple Watch app are free, and the optional Vitals+ upgrade is priced in the app before you buy and varies by region.
Yes. It reads Apple Health in read-only mode and your health data stays on your device. There are no ads, no tracking, and no accounts.

Zero-config setup. Open the app, grant HealthKit permission, done. No onboarding flow, no tutorial, no account creation. The first screen shows yesterday's data immediately.
Watch-first design. The Apple Watch app is the primary interface. The iPhone app exists for detailed history and settings. Both share a SwiftData cache via App Group.
Widget reliability. Widgets refresh on a timeline, not on open. Background tasks keep the cache warm. The complication updates within 15 minutes of HealthKit changes.
Privacy. No analytics, no crash reporting, no accounts. The app doesn't know who you are.
Free on the App Store and Google Play. No account required. Upgrade to Vitals+ anytime.
