What is CalShutter?

CalShutter is an iPhone app that estimates calories and macros from a food photo using AI, then tracks daily progress. It is built by TaoApex for people who want fast logging rather than a full diet social network.

How accurate is AI food recognition?

AI estimates portion size and composition from a photo, which is strong enough for habit tracking but not laboratory precision. You can always edit items and portions before saving. CalShutter prioritizes speed and consistency over perfect nutrition science.

Does CalShutter work offline?

You can review local logs offline. AI photo recognition and account sync require a network connection because recognition runs on TaoApex cloud infrastructure.

Is CalShutter a medical device?

No. CalShutter is a consumer lifestyle logging tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. Nutritional estimates are informational only.

How do I cancel CalShutter Pro?

Open iPhone Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → CalShutter Pro → Cancel. Access continues until the end of the paid period. Refunds are handled by Apple.

How do I delete my account and data?

In the app, open Settings and use Delete Account. You can also email support@taoapex.com. We process deletion requests within 30 days as described in the Privacy Policy.

Is CalShutter free?

Yes. CalShutter is free to download and includes unlimited manual meal logging plus 2 AI photo or voice recognitions per day. CalShutter Pro, an auto-renewable subscription, unlocks unlimited AI recognition and full history.
