Thali

A meal plan that changes with you.

Thali is a calorie tracker and meal planner for iPhone, made for the way India eats. Tell it what you ate in plain words, and it counts the calories and adjusts the rest of your day. When you would rather order, it finds Swiggy dishes that fit, and it sends your week's groceries to Instamart.
