About

AI Calorie Camera

Features
Read full description

Calorie tracking, without the diary. Most nutrition apps make you search a database, weigh your food, and log every item by hand. This app replaces all of that with a single photo. Point your camera at a meal β€” a homemade bowl, a restaurant plate, a coffee-shop pastry β€” and the app reads it in seconds. Calories, protein, carbs, and fat, filled in for you. Each meal is a piece. Each day is a puzzle. By dinner, you've built a picture of how you ate β€” without ever opening a logbook. How it works 1. Snap a photo of your meal, or pick one from your camera roll. 2. The AI identifies the dishes, estimates portions, and calculates nutrition in about three seconds. 3. Adjust anything that looks off, save it to your day, and watch your macros come together in real time. What's inside β€’ Instant AI recognition β€” powered by Google Gemini, tuned for global cuisines (Western, East Asian, Mediterranean, and more) β€’ Manual entry and food search β€” for anything you'd rather type, or when the camera isn't handy β€’ Macro tracking β€” calories, protein, carbs, and fat, with daily targets you can edit β€’ Weight tracking β€” log your weight and follow the trend over time β€’ Weekly reports β€” patterns across your week, not guilt about a single meal β€’ Puzzle progress view β€” your day fills in visually as you log β€’ Coming from MyFitnessPal? Import your weight history in seconds, so you don't start over β€’ Quiet by default β€” no streak shaming, no red numbers, no notifications you didn't ask for Pro Start with 10 free AI scans β€” enough to log about three full days. After that, Pro unlocks unlimited AI recognition. Manual logging always stays free, so nothing you've already tracked gets locked away. Pro is $7.99 per month or $34.99 per year β€” about $2.92 a month on the annual plan. The annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial, then renews automatically at $34.99/year unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Cancel anytime in Settings. Privacy, by design Your meal photos are sent to our AI provider for recognition and are not retained after analysis. We don't sell your data, we don't share it with advertisers, and we don't track you across other apps. Start free No credit card. No ten-minute onboarding quiz. Open the app, take one photo, and see if it clicks.
