Description
Boba is the first local AI calorie tracker that runs entirely on your phone.
Point your camera at food. Get calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. No cloud. No account. No subscription. Ever.
We built Boba because we were tired of calorie apps that hide basic features behind $30-a-year paywalls, send every photo of your lunch to someone else's server, and still get half your food identifications wrong. Boba is different by design.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the app.
2. Point your camera at food.
3. Get calories and macros in a few seconds.
4. Log it to your day.
That's it. No account, no email, no credit card, no paywall.
ON-DEVICE AI
Boba runs a 2-billion parameter vision-language model, fine-tuned on a custom food dataset. The entire model ships inside the app — bundled at install time, no first-launch download, no cloud calls at inference. Everything happens on your iPhone's Neural Engine.
Test set accuracy: 89.8 calorie MAE. The best on-device food AI we could build.
PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE
Boba doesn't collect your data because the app is designed so it can't. There are no Boba servers that receive your photos. There is no user database. There are no analytics. The only outbound request the app ever makes is to Open Food Facts when you scan a barcode — and that query contains only the barcode digits, nothing else.
Your meals, weight, goals, and photos stay on your phone. Delete the app and everything is gone. That is the entire data flow.

ABOUT THE MODEL
Boba's vision model is a fine-tuned 2B VLM built by Doses AI. It identifies dishes, estimates portions, and outputs per-item nutrition locally. We'll improve it over time. Future major model upgrades may be offered as optional in-app upgrades, but the core app — scanning, logging, tracking - will always be free.
IMPORTANT
Boba is a wellness tool, not a medical device. Calorie and macro estimates are AI approximations and may be inaccurate. Boba does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. For clinical nutrition advice, consult a registered dietitian or doctor.
