Free for our first year — everything included
Your
personal trainer.
Built for Indian food.
Snap a photo of your thali — dal, roti, sabzi and katori portions read instantly. Then train with a 3D coach who counts your reps and fixes your form through your camera.
- Free to start
- No card needed
- Works as an app on your phone
Other apps ask for “lentil soup, 1 cup”.
We read dal, 1 katori.
One photo logs the whole plate. The AI understands Indian dishes and household portions — katori, roti, bowl — and a second pass double-checks the amounts. It even asks the question hidden calories hide behind: how much oil or ghee went in. Your personal food library learns your recipes, so repeat meals get easier to log accurately over time.

Not a chatbot. A coach.
A living 3D trainer — bodybuilder or athlete, your pick — who looks you in the eye, speaks with a real voice in sync with their lips, and actually knows your day: your meals, your streak, your next workout. Morning briefs. Pep talks on a full-screen stage when you hit a PR. A nudge when lunch goes unlogged.
Daily brief
“You're 40g short on protein — add dal at lunch. Push day tonight.”
PR celebrations
Full-screen stage, confetti, and a coach who saw the lift happen.
Live reactions
Logs, streaks, milestones — the coach responds in the moment.
rep counting runs on your phone — no video is uploaded. The optional form check sends a few still frames, then deletes them.
The mirror that talks back.
Prop your phone against a bottle and train. Reps count themselves — squats, push-ups, curls, most movements — with a rep counter built to filter out phantom reps. Between sets, an AI form check reviews your movement and tells you what to fix, out loud, like a trainer standing behind you.

How Coach JI compares
Few apps put Indian-food photo logging, full set-and-rep workout tracking, camera rep counting and an AI coach that reads both in one place — Coach JI does, and it's free for our first year. Each app below is strong at what it focuses on: HealthifyMe on Indian nutrition, MyFitnessPal on food-database breadth, Strong and Hevy on lifting.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo-log Indian food (katori, roti) | Yes — free in year one | Paid plans only | Crowdsourced, US-centric | No nutrition |
| Counts reps with the phone camera | Yes — on-device | No | No | No |
| AI form check from your camera | Yes | No | No | No |
| Full workout tracking (PRs, supersets, plate calc) | Yes | Basic | Basic | Yes |
| One AI coach reading food + training | Yes — daily brief | Food-focused | No | No |

Free for our first year. All of it.
Photo logging, diet charts, workouts and the full AI coach — everything is free while we grow through year one. Paid plans come later (planned around ₹999/year for Pro — with photo logging included), announced well in advance.
Questions, answered
Does it work with Indian food like dal, roti and sabzi?
Yes — that is the whole point. The AI reads Indian plates natively: dal by the katori, rotis by count, sabzi, idli, dosa, paneer. Portions use household units (katori ≈ 150g, roti ≈ 35g), and it learns your recipes over time, including how rich your gravies run.
How does photo calorie counting work?
Snap your plate. The AI identifies each dish and estimates portions, you review and adjust in one tap, and calories are derived from protein, carbs and fat — never guessed independently. A second AI pass double-checks portion sizes.
Is there a free plan?
Everything is free during our first year — AI photo meal logging, diet charts, full workout tracking, form checks and the 3D coach included. No card required, no trial, no locked screens.
What is the 3D AI personal trainer?
A real-time 3D coach that lives across the app: it greets you, delivers a daily brief built from your actual meals and workouts, reacts when you log, celebrates your PRs on a full-screen stage, and speaks with a natural voice with synchronized lips.
Can it really count my reps and check my form?
Yes. Point your phone camera at yourself while training: reps are counted on-device using pose tracking, so the video feed itself is never uploaded. The AI form check (on by default, switchable off in the camera) sends a few still frames for one analysis and never stores them.
How much does it cost compared to HealthifyMe or MyFitnessPal?
Everything is free during Coach JI's first year. Paid plans come later, planned around ₹999/year for Pro — still well below the India pricing of HealthifyMe Smart and MyFitnessPal Premium as published in July 2026, with photo logging included rather than a paid add-on. Third-party prices change — check their sites for current rates.
Do I need to install an app from a store?
No. It is a progressive web app: open it in your phone browser and Add to Home Screen. Camera capture, the 3D coach and everything else work on both Android and iOS.
Is my data private?
Every account's data is isolated. Meal photos are processed only for your own log. Rep counting runs entirely on your device; if the AI form check is on, a few still frames are sent for one analysis and are not stored. You can delete your account and all data any time from Settings.
Which calorie counter works best for Indian food?
Coach JI is built for Indian plates: snap a photo and it reads dal by the katori, rotis by count, sabzi, idli and dosa, then derives calories from macros. Generic apps make you translate home food into cups and ounces; HealthifyMe understands Indian food, though photo logging sat on its paid plans as of July 2026.
Which app counts reps using the phone camera?
Coach JI counts reps through your phone camera during free-weight training — squats, push-ups, curls and more — using on-device pose tracking, so the video feed itself is never uploaded. The optional AI form check sends a few still frames for one analysis and never stores them. It also flags shallow reps and rushed tempo out loud. Class-based apps only count inside their own guided sessions.
Is there a free alternative to HealthifyMe for photo food logging?
Yes. Coach JI is entirely free during its first year — AI photo logging, manual logging and complete workout tracking with personal records included. HealthifyMe's photo logging is available only on paid plans. When paid plans arrive, Coach JI Pro is planned at ₹999 per year — roughly 2.5x cheaper than HealthifyMe Smart.
