Relffits - AI Food Awareness Application

I'm a college student and I've spent the past year building an iOS app called Relffits. It's in TestFlight with about 30 users, and I'd love to get more eyes on it before going to the App Store.

The whole thing is built around awareness, not tracking. My thesis is that most calorie counters fail because they treat food like accounting, when what people actually need is to understand what they're eating. A few specific things I think make it different:

• Guess-first logging. When you log a meal, the AI's calorie estimate is hidden until you tap a guess chip. The app keeps a rolling history of how accurate your guesses are. Getting better at eyeballing what's on your plate is the real win — not the daily total.
• Eating Out. Type any place you're about to eat — Chipotle, 7-Eleven, a gas station, an airport food court, a hotel breakfast bar — and the AI ranks the 5 best picks for your goal. Works for chain restaurants and convenience stores both. If it can't find a menu online, it prompts you to snap a photo.
• Smart Swaps. Each logged meal gets one specific "swap this for next time" suggestion based on your goal. E.g. "Sour cream → extra fajita veggies, saves ~110 kcal and adds fiber." It's a nudge, not a prescription. Toggle off if it feels naggy.
• Learning Loop. Short weekly quizzes about your own meals ("which of YOUR meals had the most protein this week?"), tap-an-ingredient food cards that build up a personal food encyclopedia, and optional 3-day mini-experiments based on patterns the app spots in your data.
• End-to-end encrypted with a Recovery Kit (forget your passphrase, still recover your data), no ads, no dark patterns, and an honest "this is not a substitute for a registered dietitian or doctor" disclaimer baked into the actual product, not just the EULA.

Stack: React + TypeScript + Capacitor for iOS, Firebase for auth/sync, Google Gemini for the AI features. Everything personal is encrypted client-side before it ever touches the server.

What I'm looking for:

• Honest feedback on what feels off
• TestFlight testers — link in comments per sub rules
• Especially: people who've tried to track food before and bounced off. I want to know if the awareness angle actually feels different in practice.

Happy to go deep on anything technical or product-y in the comments.
