Track a meal in less than 10 seconds, then get back to your day. BasicPlate is a calorie and macro tracker for people who've downloaded every other calorie counter, used it for a week, and deleted it. The problem was never willpower — it's that logging food is tedious. So we made it simpler. BasicPlate is the calorie tracking app that includes everything you need and nothing you don't. Building mindful eating habits shouldn't be frustrating. Your tools should help you get the job done without getting in the way, and that's why we built BasicPlate. Snap a photo, leave a voice note, or type a quick line — "about two cups, cooked in olive oil" — and combine any of them before the AI estimates your meal. A photo alone can't tell you how something was cooked or how big that serving actually was. That context is what makes the number accurate, and it's the part most AI food trackers skip. --- What's Inside: - AI food logging by photo, voice, or text, in any combination - Barcode scanner for packaged foods - Daily calorie and macro tracking — protein, carbs, fat, against your targets - Custom recipes: describe them out loud, build them by hand, or paste a URL to import the whole thing in a few seconds - Recipes remember their serving size, so logging a half portion is one tap - Workout logging that turns a description of your session into a calorie-burn estimate - Apple Health sync to track your activity data against your goals - One-tap water tracking - Weight, measurements, and progress photos, so you're watching a trend, not just today's number Whether you're cutting, building muscle, holding steady, or just trying to eat with a little more awareness, BasicPlate is built to be the food diary you're still using in six months — not the one buried on page three of your home screen. Free to download, with a free trial included. After the trial, a subscription unlocks unlimited AI logging, unlimited recipes, and full progress history. Monthly and annual plans available.
