Welcome to Automorphism

Today marks an exciting milestone—we’re officially introducing Automorphism and our flagship product, Kilo, a modern nutrition tracking app built from the ground up for Apple platforms.

Why We Started Automorphism

The idea for Automorphism came from a simple frustration: existing nutrition apps were either oversimplified to the point of being useless, or so complex that tracking food became a chore instead of a helpful habit.

We saw an opportunity to apply modern technology and user-centered design to create something better—an app that makes nutrition tracking genuinely helpful and sustainable for real people with real lives.

The Problem with Existing Solutions

After trying dozens of nutrition tracking apps, we identified consistent problems:

🐌 Outdated Technology

Most nutrition apps feel like they were built a decade ago. Slow, clunky interfaces that haven’t kept up with modern mobile design standards.

📊 Inaccurate Data

Nutrition databases filled with user-submitted entries of questionable accuracy, leading to unreliable tracking and poor insights.

🎯 One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Generic recommendations that don’t account for individual differences in metabolism, activity level, or health goals.

📱 Poor Cross-Device Experience

Apps that work okay on one platform but provide inferior experiences on others, with inconsistent syncing and feature gaps.

Our Solution: Kilo

Kilo addresses these problems through modern technology and thoughtful design:

⚡ Native Performance

Built with SwiftUI and SwiftData, Kilo delivers the smooth, responsive experience you expect from modern Apple apps across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Apple Vision Pro.

🏛️ Authoritative Data

We integrate with USDA FoodData Central, providing access to over 350,000 foods with scientifically-verified nutritional information.

🧠 Personalized Intelligence

Advanced algorithms calculate your personal BMR and TDEE, then provide customized macro recommendations based on your individual goals and activity level.
