FOOD DATA YOU CAN TRUST 12,000 everyday foods measured by the USDA.

Jeni is a photo-first calorie counter, food tracker, and weight-loss coach built around one simple idea: logging should take seconds, but your record should get more useful over time. Snap a meal. Jeni turns one photo into an estimated nutrition record, then connects what you eat with your weight, movement, habits, and progress. PHOTO TO NUMBERS Take a photo of a meal and Jeni estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat. When the meal or label supports it, Jeni can also keep useful details such as fiber, sugar, sodium, vitamins, minerals, and more. Prefer another way to log? Scan a barcode or nutrition label, describe what you ate, use your voice, or edit the record yourself. MORE THAN CALORIES Protein matters. Fiber matters. Meal composition matters. Jeni keeps the useful parts of your food record together so you can understand what you are eating without turning every meal into homework. YOUR PLAN FOR TODAY Jeni turns your goals and record into a simple daily plan for food, protein, movement, weigh-ins, and other relevant habits. No streak to protect. No punishment for missing a day. Just the next useful thing. SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY WORKING Weight changes from day to day. Jeni helps you look past one weigh-in and see the trend across weeks and months. As your history grows, your meals, weight, movement, and progress become one continuous record instead of separate numbers scattered across different apps. AUTOMATIC FASTING CONTEXT Log meals normally. When your record supports it, Jeni can show the time between your last logged meal and your next one. There is no separate fasting timer to remember to start or stop. GLP-1 SUPPORT, IF YOU USE IT If you take a GLP-1 such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, you can keep medication history alongside food, weight, symptoms, movement, and progress. Jeni does not prescribe medication, recommend dose changes, or replace your clinician. ASK JENI Ask about your meals, protein, weight trend, habits, progress, or what to focus on today. With your permission, Jeni can use information you have logged to make its answers more relevant to your own record. APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health to bring supported health and fitness information into Jeni, including weight, steps, sleep, workouts, and other compatible metrics. WHAT'S INSIDE • Photo food logging • Calorie and macro tracking • Protein, fiber, sugar, and deeper nutrition details • Barcode and nutrition-label scanning • Voice and text food logging • Automatic fasting context from logged meals • Weight and progress trends • Personalized daily plan • GLP-1 medication tracking • Apple Health integration • Weekly progress reviews • Ask Jeni about your meals and progress PRIVACY & HEALTH Your health data is never sold or used for advertising. Meal photos may be securely processed to estimate nutrition. Jeni is not medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or change medication. Membership unlocks the full Jeni program.

Verdict

The call
