Health-conscious people know how tedious it is to log meals as it involves manually entering calories, protein, and portion sizes, which takes time and effort. Qalzy replaces all that with a smart countertop solution that tracks nutrition instantly and automatically logs it in the companion app. Touted as the world’s first AI-powered kitchen scale, Qalzy automates food tracking with visual data and weight. Just place your food on the scale, tap once, and it will visually recognize your food, weigh it, and log it automatically.
While most food-tracking apps rely on volume estimates and manual input, Qalzy merges physical precision with AI technology to provide an accurate at-home food logging solution. Powered by OpenAI, Qalzy’s camera accurately identifies food items and portions to provide precise, gram-based weight along with nutritional calculations of calories, proteins, fats, and carbs. It matches the collected data against a verified database of 2.9 million foods from sources like the USDA and CoFID. This means no rough weight estimates; you get reliable data about your diet to meet your nutrition goals.
The kitchen scale logs all ingredients on your plate at once by estimating individual ingredients based on weight and image recognition. When scanning foods like chicken wings or fish with bones, Qalzy’s AI intelligently estimates the edible portion based on typical consumption patterns and nutritional databases. It can also scan packaged foods and read nutrition labels to identify and log packaged foods.
What sets Qalzy apart is its simplicity and ease of use. You do not need to use your phone while cooking or type with dirty hands. Your meal stats are sent to the app over Wi-Fi, which can be checked on later. It supports both Metric (g/kg) and Imperial (oz/lb) units.
Another standout feature is that you can use the mobile app without the scale. You can use your phone’s camera or scan barcodes to log meals on the go. The dashboard even allows you to set goals for your weight, calories, macros, and micros, and visualize your progress.
Qalzy learns your eating habits over time by remembering your favorite meals and recipes for faster and accurate tracking. You can save recipes by scanning or picking ingredients in the app, so that it is easy to track them next time you cook the same meal. It also syncs with Apple Health and Google Health Connect for integrated calorie and exercise tracking.

The kitchen scale features a splash-proof, tempered glass surface that is easy to clean, while its compact design blends into any kitchen. The built-in camera features a folding design that goes out of sight when not in use, and there is also an LED flash to make it work in dim lighting conditions.
Each unit has an onboard 1.77-inch LCD screen with soft-touch buttons. The kitchen scale works for up to 10 hours in one charge and recharges in just one hour with a USB-C port. Other highlighting features are multiple-user support, logging ingredients with voice commands to Alexa, and barcode scanning.
Whether you are on a weight loss journey, managing macros, or just want to eat healthier, this smart kitchen scale gives you real-time data without the hassle. Available in classic black or clean white, Qalzy food scale can be pre-ordered for an early-bird price of $169 on Kickstarter right now.
