About Automorphism

Our Story

Automorphism was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to accurate, personalized nutrition insights. We saw how complex and intimidating nutrition tracking had become, with outdated interfaces, inaccurate data, and one-size-fits-all approaches that didn’t serve real people’s needs.

Our name, Automorphism, comes from mathematics—it represents a transformation that preserves structure while creating something new. This perfectly captures our approach: taking the essential elements of nutrition science and transforming them through modern technology to create something that actually works for people’s daily lives.

Our Mission

To democratize access to personalized nutrition insights through innovative technology, helping millions of people build healthier relationships with food and achieve their wellness goals.

We believe that good nutrition shouldn’t require a degree in dietetics or hours of manual data entry. Technology should make healthy choices easier, not harder.

Our Values

🔬 Science-First Approach

We base everything on established nutritional science, from our BMR/TDEE calculations to our macro recommendations. No fads, no quick fixes—just proven methods made accessible through technology.

🎯 User-Centered Design

Every feature we build starts with a real user need. We obsess over the details that make the difference between an app you use once and one that becomes part of your daily routine.

🔒 Privacy by Design

Your health data is deeply personal. We build privacy protection into every aspect of our apps, ensuring your information stays secure and under your control.

⚡ Performance & Quality

We believe great health apps should be fast, reliable, and beautiful. Our native Swift development ensures optimal performance across all Apple platforms.

The Team

Automorphism brings together expertise in software engineering, nutritional science, and user experience design. Our team has experience building applications used by millions of people, and we apply that same level of craftsmanship to health technology.

Why We Built Kilo

After trying dozens of nutrition apps, we found they all shared the same problems:

• Outdated interfaces that felt clunky and slow
• Inaccurate food databases with missing or wrong nutritional information
• Generic recommendations that didn’t account for individual needs
• Complex workflows that made logging food a chore instead of a habit

We set out to solve these problems with modern technology:

Modern Technology Stack

• SwiftUI for beautiful, responsive interfaces across all Apple devices
• SwiftData for seamless data syncing and offline capability
• USDA FoodData Central API for the most comprehensive and accurate food database available

Intelligent Features

• Smart food search that learns from your eating patterns
• Personalized macro recommendations based on your goals and activity level
• Comprehensive analytics that help you understand your nutrition trends over time

Cross-Platform Excellence

Native apps for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS—your nutrition data follows you seamlessly across all your devices.

Our Commitment

We’re committed to building products that genuinely improve people’s lives. That means:

• Continuous improvement based on user feedback and the latest nutritional research
• Transparent communication about how our algorithms work and why we make certain recommendations
• Sustainable business practices that align with our users’ long-term success, not short-term engagement metrics

Looking Forward

Kilo is just the beginning. We’re working on expanding our platform to include:

• Integration with fitness tracking and health monitoring devices
• Personalized meal planning and recipe recommendations
• Advanced health insights powered by machine learning
• Collaboration features for families and healthcare providers
