Doydum
An AI calorie counter with a friend in it
Doydum is an AI calorie counter for iPhone. Take a photo of your plate and Doy estimates the calories, protein, carbs and fat. Then he plants it in his garden. Water, steps and weigh-ins live in the same little world.

01 · Snap
Doydum’s AI names what’s on your plate and estimates its calories, protein, carbs and fat in seconds. You check it before it’s saved.
Example plates, illustrative numbers.
02 · Eat
Tell Doydum which meals you usually have and how many snacks. Reminders come at your own mealtimes, only if you want them, and logging again is one tap: recents, favourites, and a gallery of every plate you have photographed.
03 · Drink
Doy’s body is your water meter: log a glass and you see it rise inside him. Your daily target starts from your weight, and gentle reminders can nudge you through the day. The home-screen widget adds a glass with one tap.
04 · Move
Doydum reads your steps from your iPhone’s motion sensor when you open the app. Your daily target follows how active you are, and on Doy’s farm every thousand steps lays a stone on the path to the gate.
05 · Weigh in
Add a weigh-in in kilos or pounds, even for a day that has passed. The chart shows the trend, not the noise of a single morning, and milestones mark the way to your goal. Doy never comments on your body.
06 · Ask Doy
On any chart, tap “Ask Doy”. He reads your days the way an experienced registered dietitian reads a food log: what went well, what’s missing, and one or two small things to try. Then you can chat with him about it, photos welcome.
AI-written · not medical advice. An example note on an example week.
07 · Your plan
Answer a few questions (age, height, weight, how active you are, your goal) and Doydum works out a daily energy estimate with the Mifflin–St Jeor formula, plus protein, carbs and fat. It shows its working, and you can change it any time.
08 · Your pace
Choose how fast you want to change: 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75 kg a week. The plan adjusts your daily target and never goes below a sensible minimum. The flag is always a little further on; the road is what counts.
09 · The farm
Log a meal and a row sprouts in today’s bed. Steps lay the stones to the gate. A day with meals, water and steps all done turns golden and plants a sunflower by the fence. Weeks become crates by the barn, and animals move in as you keep going: earned, never bought.
10 · Yours
No ads and no tracking. Reminders are scheduled on your phone. Export everything as a file, or delete your account from Settings: photos go first.
11 · Almost here
We are putting the last lanterns up. Doydum launches soon for iPhone, in English and Turkish.

See every item with its grams, calories and macros. Fix anything in a tap.
Your day fills Doy up and grows his farm. Your charts and his notes show the trend.
FAQ
Doy is your companion in the app: a small pixel character who lives in a house on a farm. He reacts to the food you log by name, fills up with water as you drink (his body is your water meter) and keeps you company through the day. Doy never shames, never comments on bodies and never scolds you for a missed day.
Learn more →They are estimates, not exact measurements. A photo can’t show hidden oil, the sugar in a sauce or how deep a bowl is, so portions are the hardest part. That’s why every item comes with a confidence level and stays editable: fix the grams or swap an item before you save. A short hint, a clear shot of the whole plate and good light all help.
Learn more →Yes. Besides photo and barcode scans, you can search a curated list of 168 everyday foods, Turkish and international: lentil soup, lahmacun, döner, mantı and simit sit next to boiled eggs, bananas and grilled chicken breast. Your recent foods, favourites and your own foods are there too, and a quantity dial lets you log grams or servings.
Learn more →Doydum estimates your resting energy with the Mifflin–St Jeor equation from your age, sex, height and weight, then multiplies it by an activity factor from 1.2 to 1.9. To lose or gain, it subtracts or adds 275, 550 or 825 kcal a day for a weekly pace of 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75 kg. It never goes below 1,200 kcal (female formula) or 1,500 kcal (male formula). It’s an estimate, not a prescription.
Learn more →Your streak forgives. Any day with at least one meal counts. Every seven logged days fills a rain barrel (you can keep two), and a full barrel covers a day without a meal by itself, so the streak holds. Going away? Set an away stretch of up to 14 days and your streak waits for you. No red numbers, no guilt.
Learn more →Yes. Doydum has no ads and no tracking, and your data is never sold. Your entries are stored to run the app for you, and the AI provider only sees what a feature you asked for needs. From Settings you can export a copy of everything as a JSON file, or delete your account and all its data, at any time.
Learn more →When you scan, a compressed copy of the photo goes to our backend and to Google’s Gemini model (or, if Gemini can’t answer, to Anthropic’s Claude), only to estimate that meal. If you correct a meal in words later, your note goes the same way with the photo, and the note isn’t kept. If you save the meal, the photo stays with it so your meal gallery can show it; if you cancel or the scan fails, it’s deleted. Deleting a meal deletes its photo, and deleting your account erases all photos first.
Learn more →Not at the moment. Doydum is built for iPhone, with features that rely on it, like Sign in with Apple, the iPhone’s motion sensor for steps and the home-screen widget. There’s no Android version yet, and we can’t promise a date. Meanwhile, the calculators and guides on this site work on any phone or computer.
Learn more →Doydum is a subscription app. Doydum Pro unlocks the whole app, with a monthly and a yearly plan. The App Store shows the price in your currency, and any trial if one is offered, before you pay. Payment goes through your Apple Account, and you can cancel anytime in your iPhone’s subscription settings, at least 24 hours before the period renews.
Learn more →Soon. Doydum is coming to the App Store for iPhone, and we’re doing the last checks before release. We’d rather not promise a date we might miss. Until then, try the calorie, macro and water calculators on this site, which use the same maths as the app, and come and meet Doy.
