## What is Plates?

Free AI photo calorie counter. Snap a meal, review the estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat, edit anything that looks off, and save it to your food diary.

No subscription is needed to log. Your food diary, meal editing and daily totals are free, with no trial and no account needed to start. Free AI analysis is included every day: up to 10 analyses per device.

PHOTO TO FOOD LOG
Take a meal photo, check the foods and portions that were recognized, adjust them, and save. AI results are estimates you can edit before saving.

RECORD YOUR WAY
Take a photo, search the food database, or scan a barcode. Quick-adjust a portion to 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. See today's calories, protein, carbs and fat and your meals in one place. Goals are optional.

WHAT IS FREE?
Your food diary, meal editing and daily nutrition totals do not require a subscription. AI analysis has a daily allowance of up to 10 analyses per device. Photo and voice analysis share this allowance; food search and barcode scanning do not use it. This is not an unlimited scanning plan, and Plates Plus does not increase it. The app interface is in English.

OPTIONAL PLATES PLUS
Plates Plus is an optional subscription that adds a protein floor report: a PDF of your last 4, 8 or 12 weeks (days logged, days your protein floor was met, protein per day) that you can share with a dietitian or care team. The report needs a protein goal, which you can set in the app. You don't need a trial or a subscription to log meals. If you're eligible for a free trial, the App Store shows its terms before you confirm. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your device's subscription settings.

Nutrition estimates are for general information, not medical advice.

### 4/5 — Don’t use the ai

*2026-07-10*

It works well, but the ai isn’t there yet, on any calorie app.  This app is free and it makes a great food log.  One of the days will glitch sometimes and bit show the totals, but it serves its purpose

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5.0 — 2026-09-28

Changes to a saved meal, such as a new amount, are saved when you tap Confirm. Home now shows today's calories, protein, carbs and fat first, with your meals below. Plates now asks before sending a meal photo or voice recording for AI analysis, and food search asks separately before sending your search text. You can change both in Settings. Fixed voice logging on iPhone, which could fail with "Could not analyze your voice input."

### 2.4.3 — 2026-09-23

Small fixes.

### 2.4.2 — 2026-09-21

A small card on the You tab invites you to tell us how you use Plates — if you'd like to.

• Optional 10-minute chat with the maker (you can dismiss the card anytime).
• Small fixes.

### 2.4.1 — 2026-09-14

Stability and a lighter start.

• Removes the in-app banner ads. Plates is now ad-free for everyone.
• No more tracking-permission prompt.
• Fixes a crash that could happen on the Home tab and while a meal was being analyzed.

### 2.4.0 — 2026-09-06

A gentler start for smaller appetites.

• If your appetite is on the smaller side, your protein floor now starts lower and builds up week by week, instead of asking for the full target on day one.
• A first-week card tracks "Log 3 days this week." Showing up counts; streaks don't.
• The close-the-gap card now appears once a day, in the evening or after a low-appetite check-in, instead of all day long.
• Voice logging is more reliable, and very short recordings are caught before they fail.
• Your protein floor report and Stats now use the same day-by-day floor as your ring.
• Fixes a rare crash on the photo analysis screen.
