We read. We don't infer.
Every nutrient graded against FDA Daily Values. When data is a photo estimate, we mark it ≈ estimate. When it came from a label, it's clean. No mystery 1-to-100 score, no fabricated calorie counts.
The photo-infer apps treat a model's guess as the answer. Svelio reads the actual label when it's there, marks photo estimates honestly, and lets you tap any item to correct what the AI got wrong — so the numbers reflect what you actually ate, not what was assumed.

By the Numbers
Why It Matters
Every nutrient graded against FDA Daily Values. When data is a photo estimate, we mark it ≈ estimate. When it came from a label, it's clean. No mystery 1-to-100 score, no fabricated calorie counts.
"All Natural" with Red 40. "No Added Sugar" with HFCS. "Healthy" with 1,200mg sodium. We flag the gap by cross-checking every front-label claim against the actual ingredients. The infer apps can't see this — they don't read ingredient lists.
Add a product to your Kitchen. The next time the manufacturer quietly reformulates — new preservative, swapped lecithin, added dye — we'll tell you. Industry-first feature.
Side by Side · Honest Table
Critique applies to the entire photo-infer category — whichever calorie-from-photo app is loudest this quarter. We don't name names; the math doesn't need them.

Off the Table
✦ Sidekick
An infer app tells you a product has 320 calories. Svelio tells you 320 calories andhere are 2 alternatives without Red 40 that fit your protein goal — Better Buy on the shelf, Coach's Pick on the restaurant menu.
Every flagged scan gets up to 3 alternatives ranked by goal-fit + cleaner ingredients + macro deltas. They can't do this — they don't read ingredient lists in the first place.
Kitchen Watch
Pre-COVID Cheez-Its are not 2026 Cheez-Its. Brands rotate preservatives, swap lecithins, and add dyes without announcing it. Add a product to your Kitchen and we'll alert you the next time it shifts.
First feature of its kind in any nutrition app. Calorie counters can't do this because they don't read ingredient lists.
The Whole Point
The infer apps tell you what they think you ate. Svelio tells you what's actually in it — the additives, the marketing claims that don't hold up, the lighter alternative on the same menu, the recipe quietly changed last month. That's the gap.
More than twice the trial most infer apps give you. Cancel anytime before it ends and pay nothing. Free tier alone covers label scans, barcode scans, food-photo analysis, fasting, journal, and 5 Coach messages a day.
