About

SnapPlate

SnapPlate is the transparent nutrition camera. Point your phone at a meal and get an honest estimate of its calories — as a range, not a fake-precise number — plus the full breakdown of vitamins and minerals most trackers ignore. WHY SNAPPLATE IS DIFFERENT Honest numbers. Real food is variable, so SnapPlate shows calories as a range with a confidence level instead of pretending to know the exact figure to the calorie. Every estimate is editable before you log it. The full picture. Beyond calories and macros, SnapPlate tracks vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, fiber, and sugar — with daily targets, so you can see what your day is actually missing instead of just counting calories. THREE WAYS TO LOG - Snap a photo and let SnapPlate identify the food and estimate the portion - Search a large food database by name - Scan a barcode for packaged items Re-log a recent or favorite meal in a single tap. MORE THAN A CALORIE COUNTER Water tracking, weight logging with trends, daily streaks, meal-type grouping, and custom goals for protein, fiber, sugar, and sodium — all in one clean, dark interface. Gentle daily reminders help you stay consistent without nagging. YOURS TO KEEP Sync your meals to Apple Health, glance at today's totals on a home-screen widget and Apple Watch, and export your entire history to CSV whenever you want. No lock-in. FAIR PRICING Start completely free with 3 scans a day — no account, no card. SnapPlate Pro unlocks 20 scans a day for less than a coffee a month, and you can cancel anytime. Your meal photos are analyzed to estimate nutrition and are not stored on our servers. SUBSCRIPTION SnapPlate Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription. Prices are shown in the app and vary by country or region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
