Photograph the plate and see what it is made of: protein, carbohydrate and fat on every meal, and fibre, sugars and sodium whenever they can be read. Then, a few hours later, one short question — how did that sit? — filed next to the meal.
WHAT THE PLATE IS MADE OF
Every meal carries its own protein, carbohydrate and fat. Fiber, sugars and sodium appear when the food or its packet will carry them, marked as the rougher guesses they are — tap any of them and the app says what it is, why it is less certain, and each one measured against the U.S. FDA's label reference, with the date it was last checked. A nutrition panel in the frame is read on the phone rather than estimated, and a figure off a packet is marked as the manufacturer's, not ours.
WHAT HELD YOU LONGEST
The app asks how full you were, and after a few weeks it can say which of your meals held you longest — read from your own answers, not from a target somebody set. No plan prescribes the plate here; your own record reports it.
That pair — the plate and what followed it — is the whole product. Enough of them and the app tells you what it noticed: on the days you logged fried, digestion read uneasier later. Your readings, against your own average.
THE NUMBER IS OPTIONAL
One switch removes every calorie, gram and percentage from every screen. The photographs, the dish names, the corrections and the check-ins all stay, and the app never asks you to turn them back on. Turn the numbers off in a calorie tracker and nothing is left. Turn them off here and what remains is the point.

PRIVACY
Your meals sync through your own iCloud, in a private database we cannot read. Body photographs never leave the phone. There is no account and no password. What is sent for an estimate is the cut-out of the food — never the whole photograph, never your face, never where you were. Estimates only: Plateknow diagnoses nothing and is not a medical device.
SUBSCRIPTION
Plateknow Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. The yearly plan starts with a one-week free trial; the monthly does not. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. The ten free estimates a day are not part of it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
How accurate is it, and how does it judge portion size?
It estimates rather than measures, so it gives a range. On iPhones with two rear cameras it also reads depth, telling a flat plate from a heaped bowl — a difference a single flat photo cannot show, and one that can be more than double what is there. Depth only widens or narrows the range, never the number. Correct a dish once and your own figure is used next time.
Can I track protein and fiber without counting calories?
Yes. One switch removes every calorie, gram and percentage; the plates, the dish names and the check-ins all stay. There is no streak, no daily deficit and no word for going over.
What helps with bloating after a meal?
The app diagnoses nothing. It records what you ate and asks a few hours later how it sat, so the pattern is yours rather than a general rule.
Can I use it for weight management without a diet plan?
It prescribes nothing. It keeps the meal, the reaction, and which meals held you longest.
