Pro features
Zielfit is available for Android on Google Play and for iPhone on the Apple App Store. Use this website’s store buttons and check device compatibility in the relevant listing. Downloading is free; optional Premium subscriptions are offered in the app.
The onboarding wizard guides you through profile setup:
You can update these settings anytime via Profile > Settings > Energy Calculator.
Open the app’s language settings and choose an available language. The selection can vary by version. App language and website language are separate settings.
The download and core tracking are free, including calories, macros, barcode search, water, steps, weight and activities. The free version includes ads and limited trials of selected features. Premium is an optional paid subscription. The entire app with every feature is therefore not completely free.
Navigation: Profile > Settings > Unit System
You can switch between metric (kg, cm) and imperial (lbs, ft/in) units. The app will automatically convert all your existing data to the new unit system.
The Home overview shows your recorded daily values and the cards you have enabled. The video explains the overview and how to open the main tracking areas.

The calculator considers age, sex, height, weight, daily steps and the type, duration and frequency of exercise. Choose your weight goal and macro distribution, then save the result as your calorie target. Basal metabolic rate and daily needs are calculated guides and may differ from actual expenditure.

All your saved calculations are stored in the Energy Values screen. Here you can:
Switching your active calorie goal is just one tap - perfect for different phases of your fitness journey!
Logged foods contribute calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat and, where available, fiber. Set your targets and macro distribution in the energy calculator. The overview compares your entries with these goals; no single distribution is a general recommendation for everyone.
Open Add Food. Search for a food or use barcode, nutrition-label or AI photo scanning. Choose the amount, unit and meal and review nutritional values before saving. Single/Multi lets you log several foods together. Individual features have free limits or require Premium.

Available foods come from the provided data sources and your own entries. General search uses sources including Open Food Facts. Coverage and product availability vary. Check important values against the packaging; not every database entry has been independently verified.

You can sort foods by tapping the sort buttons at the top of the food list:
Tap again to reverse the sort order.
Yes. Create a food with a name, reference amount, unit and nutritional values. The current Android app includes one custom food; Premium allows unlimited custom foods. Use the heart icon to save foods as favorites and find them more quickly later.
When viewing a food item, tap the heart icon to add it to your favorites. Favorited foods appear in the "Favorites" tab for quick access. Tap the heart again to remove from favorites.
When you select a food, a dialog appears where you can:
In Add Food, use the Single/Multi toggle to switch from “1” to “2+” (Multi). Select several foods and open Save Foods. Adjust the amount and unit for each ingredient, choose the meal and save the selection together. The current Android app includes one trial; Premium provides unlimited use.

Open Add Food and choose AI Photo Scan. Photograph your meal or select an image from your gallery. Review the detected foods, estimated amounts, calories and macros, make any corrections and save the entry. Results are estimates, not exact measurements.
Premium AI chat can answer nutrition and training questions and suggest meal or recipe ideas. Review its answers: AI can make mistakes and does not fully know your circumstances. It does not replace medical advice, diagnosis or individually supervised training plans.
Yes. With Premium, speak a search term in Add Food. Zielfit transfers it into food search so you can review and choose the matching result. Offline speech recognition is available only if the device supports it.
Open the barcode scanner in Add Food and scan the packaging. If the product is found, check its nutritional values, choose the amount and meal and save the entry. Database values may be incomplete or incorrect; compare them with the packaging when needed.
Use Nutrition Label Scan in the barcode area: photograph the nutrition table or choose an image. Review and correct the product name, calories and nutrients before saving. Analysis requires internet access. The current Android app includes five free label scans, with unlimited use under Premium. You can also create a custom food.
New online search results and AI image analysis require an internet connection. Locally available data may remain accessible depending on the app version. Fully offline barcode or photo scanning is not guaranteed.

Choose a routine that suits you. Save weight entries with date and time and compare later readings. Individual readings vary; history and the displayed average provide context. The app does not require daily weighing.
Weight history shows entries with date and time, changes and a seven-day average. Use the day selector and filters to view earlier entries. Analytics provides further trend views.
On supported Android devices, Zielfit uses Health Connect. Choose data types and grant permissions. A tracker or scale must be able to exchange data with the supported health service; this does not promise a direct connection to every brand. On iOS, Apple Health features depend on app version and permissions.
Adjust your daily goal and stride length in step-goal settings. The step card shows progress toward your chosen target. A default value is not a personal activity recommendation.
Set stride length in step-goal settings. Divide a measured distance by the steps counted over it to obtain a reference value. Distance and calorie expenditure remain estimates and also depend on the data source and detection.
On supported devices, Zielfit uses device step data or health data you have authorized. Grant the requested activity and background permissions. The step card shows the daily goal, distance, estimated calories and hourly activity; history lets you view other days.
Compare the same day and data source. Sensors, permissions, synchronization or device position can cause differences. Check step and Health Connect settings; different apps need not show identical values.
Navigation: Home > Water Card

Available settings include:
Yes. Show or hide available tracking cards and change their order to bring the values you want to use to the front. Features such as supplements or body measurements may require Premium.
Navigation: Profile > Settings > Dark Mode toggle
Toggle the switch to enable or disable dark mode. The app saves your preference and applies it across all screens.
Milestones shows streaks, reward points and available trophies. The conditions displayed there determine when a milestone is reached. Consistent logging is not evidence of a particular physical result.
