Diets don't work. You already know that. Rekkon does.
Just tell it what you ate — by voice. Talk to it. It talks back. It learns your food and gets smarter every day.
7-day free trial. No credit card required.
“Twenty years of dieting. Every one worked. Every one stopped working. So I built an app I could just talk to. I lost 10kg in three months. My mum lost 6kg. She just talks to it.”
Daniel Treacy, who built Rekkon in Australia
Say what you ate.
No typing into search bars. No scrolling through databases of foods that don't exist here. Hold the button, say the meal, done.
“Two eggs on sourdough with avocado”
It works out the meal. No database to search, no barcode to hunt, no picking the right “chicken breast” out of forty-seven. Got it wrong? Tap the meal to fix it; the day’s totals update straight away.
“A protein bar, 220 calories, 20g protein”
Know the numbers? Say them. Rekkon uses your figures instead of estimating. Handy for anything with a label.

Your regulars, one tap away. From day two, meals you’ve already logged show up as shortcuts, so the same breakfast never needs saying twice.
Ask what you want.
Friday evening · 1,481 cal · 780 to go
Then ask Rekkon anything. It gives you a straight answer, not a disclaimer, and reads it out loud if your hands are covered in flour.
Going out for drinks tonight — how much can I have?
More than you think. You've got 780 kcal left. A schooner is about 160 kcal — three puts you at 480 kcal, still under. A glass of wine's around 110 kcal if you'd rather mix it up. That leaves room for chips too if you keep dinner light. Enjoy it.
Day one it counts. Day seven it coaches.
Most apps give you the same experience on day 100 as day 1. Rekkon compounds. Every meal you log teaches it something new about you.
Your first pattern.
After 7 days
There's a steadiness to your mornings — the protein shake happens before anything else does. Chicken keeps showing up at dinner, almost without fail. The flat white is the one constant, even on the days everything else changes. The weekends are where things loosen — portion sizes creep up and the snacking moves earlier. That's where the easy wins are hiding.
Weekdays steady. Weekends loosen.
It starts asking the right questions.
After a few days, Rekkon generates questions based on your actual eating. Not generic tips — real questions about your patterns. “Your weekday lunches are solid — want to talk about the weekend?” It noticed before you did.
It remembers what you ate last Tuesday.
Rekkon builds a rolling memory of your meals, your patterns, your wins and slips. When you ask “how am I going this week?” it doesn’t guess — it knows.
Your hand is the measure.
A palm of chicken. Two fists of rice. One thumb of peanut butter. Rekkon coaches in hand portions calibrated to your height and sex. No kitchen scales.
Keep the pasta. Just know what it costs.
Rekkon doesn't replace your meals with shakes. It doesn't ban carbs or count almonds. It looks at the food you actually love and finds the adjustments that add up — without you ever feeling like you're on a diet. Because you're not.
It doesn't show you yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's meal plan. It helps with right now: the next meal, the next question, the next choice. And it never makes you feel bad about what's already done.
“The problem was never willpower. It was information. I didn't know what I was eating — and once I did, the adjustments were obvious.”
The ones everyone asks.
Does it actually work without exercise?
Weight loss happens in the kitchen — exercise is a separate kind of good. Rekkon focuses on the part most people get wrong: knowing what's actually on the plate. Once you can see your week clearly, the adjustments tend to be small and obvious. Move because you enjoy moving. Eat with information.
Individual results vary. Rekkon isn't medical advice — if you have a health condition, talk to a doctor before changing how you eat.
How is this different from MyFitnessPal or Noom?
Two things. You don't search a database. You just say what you ate — "two eggs on sourdough with avocado" — and Rekkon works it out. No scrolling, no barcode hunting, no logging the wrong "chicken breast" out of forty-seven options.
It learns you. Most apps treat day 100 the same as day 1. Rekkon builds a picture of how you actually eat — your anchors, your patterns, your weak spots — and the coaching gets sharper every week. By day seven it's not counting anymore. It's coaching.
How accurate are the calorie estimates?
Honest answer: directionally accurate, not laboratory-grade. Rekkon estimates from what you describe, so a "small" bowl of pasta and a "large" bowl of pasta will land in different places.
If you know the exact numbers, just say them. "A protein bar, 220 calories, 20g protein, 18 carbs, 7 fat" — Rekkon picks those up reliably and uses them instead of estimating. Great for packaged food with a label.
And every meal is editable. Tap any logged meal or beverage to adjust the portion, the calories, or the macros. If Rekkon reads "one slice" and it was actually two, fix it in a tap — the day's totals update straight away.
The good news is you don't need lab accuracy to lose weight — you need consistency. If yesterday's lunch and today's lunch are both estimated the same way, the trend over a week tells you what you need to know. That's the bit that actually moves the scale.
What happens after the 7-day free trial?
No credit card is required to start. During the trial you get 9 AI meal logs on day one and 6 per day from then on — enough to capture real eating, not a demo. From day two, your regulars from earlier days start showing up as Smart Regulars — one-tap shortcuts for the meals you've already logged, so the coffee and the same breakfast don't eat your daily allowance.
After seven days, Rekkon Pro is US$9.99/month or US$99.99/year (about A$15.99/month or A$159.99/year — pricing varies by region). You'll be asked to subscribe to keep using the app — nothing charges automatically without you choosing it, and there's no surprise card-on-file from the trial.
You can cancel any time from your iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Refunds go through Apple in line with their policies.
Do I have to type? My hands are usually full.
No. Hold the button, say what you ate, let go. Rekkon hears you, logs it, and reads the result back out loud if you want. Same with questions — ask out loud, listen to the answer. You can be cooking, driving, walking the dog. Five seconds, hands free.
If you'd rather type, you can. The voice thing is the unlock, not the requirement.
What's the food fingerprint?
It's the picture Rekkon quietly builds over the first week or two — what shows up on your plate over and over, when you eat it, where the patterns drift on weekends. Most people have never seen their own eating laid out this way and find it more useful than any number on a scale.
From the fingerprint, the coaching gets specific. Not "eat more protein" — but "your weekday breakfasts are dialled, the weekend ones are where the calories are hiding." That kind of specific.
Is my food data private? Do you sell it?
No, and no. Your meals, conversations, and profile are stored on your phone — not on our servers. We never sell data. We never run ads. We don't even ask for your email.
When you log a meal, the description is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for analysis and the result comes straight back. Anthropic doesn't use API inputs to train their models. Full details on the privacy page.
Is it good for older or non-technical users?
That was the test. The first non-builder user was a 60-something mum who finds most apps frustrating. She kept using it after her trial ran out — that's when we knew it worked.
If you can talk to your phone, you can use Rekkon. There's no spreadsheet to learn, no plan to follow, no scrolling through food databases. You speak, it listens.
Should I use Rekkon if I have a history of disordered eating?
Please talk to a qualified clinician first. Rekkon is built around calorie awareness and gentle nudging — useful for some, not appropriate for everyone. If tracking food has been harmful for you in the past, an app isn't the right place to start. A registered dietitian or your GP is.
iPhone only? What about Android?
iPhone for now. Android is on the list, but a small team builds best on one platform first. If Android matters to you, drop us a line — every email moves it up the queue.
What if it gets a meal wrong?
Edit it or log it again. Rekkon's a coach, not a calorie cop — being roughly right every day beats being precisely right twice a week. The app's designed to make corrections quick rather than punish you for them.
