A women-first alternative to generic calorie counters
Generic calorie trackers give everyone the same flat number and put weight front and centre. Fawna is built differently — for your life stage, graded by evidence, and private by default. Here’s the honest comparison, gaps included.

Where we’re honest: Fawna is iOS-first for now — Android is genuinely coming, not shipping today, so we mark it as such. We’d rather tell you that than pretend.
Private by default
Your reproductive data stays on your device — not uploaded, not sold. Privacy is a headline feature, not fine print.
Never a weigh-in
No weight, no BMI, no before-and-after. We adapt the plan, not the number — through every life stage.
Fair questions
Isn’t a comparison like this biased?
Probably a little — we made Fawna. So we’ve tried to be honest about where we’re behind, like Android, which is genuinely still coming. Judge us on the evidence, not the table.
Why don’t you name specific competitors?
Categories differ more than individual apps, and specifics change often. We compare against the patterns you’ll actually run into rather than picking fights with brands.
What makes Fawna different in one line?
We adapt the plan, not the number — and we grade our advice so you always know how solid it is.
Judge us on the evidence.
Fawna is in App Store review now, with Android coming soon. Join the early-access list and see for yourself.
