Carb Manager is built for keto. Açaí is built for understanding your complete nutrition.
Carb Manager is the go-to tracker for dedicated keto and low-carb dieters. If you need net carb calculations, keto meal plans, and a recipe builder, it’s purpose-built for that workflow.
But even on keto, carbs aren’t the only thing that matters. Electrolyte imbalances — low sodium, potassium, and magnesium — are the most common reason keto dieters feel terrible in the first weeks. And long-term, micronutrient gaps from restricted diets can quietly undermine your health.
Açaí tracks all of it. Every scan returns 245 micronutrients — including the electrolytes that make or break a keto experience — tracked against your personalized daily targets. No manual entry. Just snap a photo.
