About Aura Fitness
We build and operate our own software platform.
Aura Fitness is a digital-native software company based in Melbourne, Australia. We design, build and run one product: Metriful, an AI meal scanner that turns a photo into an itemized, editable nutrition estimate. No client work, no consulting, no reselling — the product on this site is the company, and the founder below writes its code.
The product
Metriful, at a glance
Everything below is publicly verifiable — the app is live on the App Store and the web app runs at this domain.
- What it is
- An iOS and web app that turns a meal photo into an itemized nutrition estimate: every detected food with grams, calories, macros and a confidence level. On LiDAR iPhones, depth measures the plate so portions come from geometry, not guesswork. Every line is editable in one tap.iOS + web
- Who it's for
- People who quit calorie apps because logging took longer than eating — and people managing metabolic health who need logging they'll actually keep doing. The core loop is one photo, one review, one clear next step.consumer health
- Stage
- In production. Metriful is live on the App Store and on the web at aurafitness.org, with updates shipping regularly — see the release notes.live
- How it works
- Snap a meal → the vision pipeline identifies each food and estimates portions → uncertain items are flagged for a one-tap review → the day's remaining targets and one concrete suggestion come back. The product page walks through the full flow, including a worked example scan.photo → estimate
- Built in-house
- One codebase ships the iOS and web clients (React Native + Expo). Our own API (Spring Boot / Java) runs on Google Cloud Run in australia-southeast2, on PostgreSQL with pgvector for food-similarity search, with Gemini vision models and OpenAI embeddings in the scanning pipeline. We build and operate all of it ourselves.own platform
