About Bocco
The person, the reason, and how the numbers are made.
Artem Grebenkin
Founder — and the one person who designs, builds, and answers the email.
Bocco exists because I quit calorie tracking — twice. Not because I stopped caring, but because weighing food and typing ingredients into a database is too much work to sustain past week two.
Bocco is my answer: point your camera at the plate, get calories and macros in seconds, and when something's off, fix it in plain words — "that was 300 g, and it was fried" — and the numbers recalculate instead of just renaming the dish. Tracking that's light enough to keep is the whole product idea.
How the numbers are made
- AI reads the plate, math does the math. The AI estimates what's on the plate and how much; every calorie target, macro split, and daily total is computed with deterministic formulas used in nutrition practice — never left to an AI's arithmetic.
- Honest precision. Photo estimates are close, not gram-perfect — that's true of every AI calorie counter, and Bocco doesn't pretend otherwise. The correction loop exists precisely so a rough estimate takes seconds to make right.
- Sources you can check. The blog cites primary research (PubMed, peer-reviewed nutrition journals), and every article carries my name — no anonymous content farm.
Not medical advice. Bocco and everything on this site are for general information. For guidance about your own health — especially with a medical condition, pregnancy, or a history of disordered eating — talk to a doctor or registered dietitian.
The short version of the story
I built Bocco solo in 2026 and launched it on the App Store in August 2026. It's an independent product: no content team, no growth hackers — one founder who uses the app every day and fixes what annoys him.
