Onyx Tenet
Own your nutrition. Forever.
Adaptive TDEE that learns your metabolism. No account. No ads. All data stays on your device.
No marketing. Only product updates. Unsubscribe any time.
Most calorie apps rent you features. This one you own.
BUILT ON PRINCIPLE
The app is yours.
Every feature works offline, forever, with no account. No subscription. No feature gates. Download and start tracking.
Your data stays on your phone.
No account required. Everything lives on your device. Optional cloud backup if you choose — nothing leaves without your explicit action.
Works without internet.
Log meals on a plane, in a basement, in airplane mode. The app is the database — no server required.
No ads. Not now, not ever.
No banners. No interstitials. No watching a video to unlock your calorie goal. This is a tool, not an ad platform.
FEATURES
Your metabolism, learned.
Static TDEE formulas guess. Onyx Tenet calculates. A 14-day rolling window of your intake and weight change produces a TDEE that's yours — not an estimate from a textbook. The longer you track, the more precise it gets.
Intelligence, not just numbers.
Thirteen types of AI-powered insight — trends, projections, body composition shifts, recovery windows, metabolic adaptation. Your data tells a story. Onyx reads it for you.
Point. Tap. Logged.
Aim your camera at a plate or a menu. AI returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. Free AI estimations included — no subscription, no credit card.
Scan any label.
OpenFoodFacts powers instant lookups across 3 million products. Results cache locally — scan once, it's yours forever. No internet required after first lookup.
Three taps. Done.
Favourites, recents, and a quick-add strip put your most-used foods one tap away. Your history builds the library. No searching through 18 million unverified entries.
Build once. Log always.
Create recipes from individual ingredients — scan barcodes directly in the picker. Log by serving, fraction, or custom amount. No workarounds, no limitations.
Data you can act on.
Calorie and macro charts. 7-day and 30-day rolling averages. Weight vs. intake overlays. Share cards for streaks and chart periods. Clean, calm, no gamification.
