About

Carbora

Features
Read full description

Counting carbs three times a day is exhausting. Carbora makes it one photo. SNAP YOUR PLATE Take a photo of your meal. Carbora's AI identifies each food and estimates carbs, protein, fat, and calories — in seconds. Adjust portions if something looks off. You stay in control. FIX WHAT THE AI MISSED Type the correct food name, adjust the portion by hand, or add something the photo didn't catch — write it, or dictate it with your keyboard's microphone. REAL FOOD, INCLUDING YOURS Carbora knows the difference between a corn and a flour tortilla. Tamales, arepas, pupusas, plantains, rice and beans — food most apps get wrong, Carbora gets right. CONNECT MEALS TO GLUCOSE Log your glucose before and after meals and see how each plate affects you. Your history shows carbs per day, week, and month — patterns you can actually act on. TAKE YOUR DATA TO YOUR APPOINTMENT Create a PDF with your meals and your glucose readings from the last 7, 30, or 90 days, organized so your doctor can read it at a glance. Share it by email or message, straight from the app. NOT LIVING WITH DIABETES? Carbora adapts. Choose "I watch what I eat" and the app hides glucose, puts your calories and protein up front, and gives you a report your nutritionist can actually use. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your meal photos are analyzed and immediately discarded — never stored. Your health data is never sold, shared, or used for ads. Delete your account and all data anytime, right from the app. SIMPLE ON PURPOSE Big type, clean design, no clutter. Made for everyone — including eyes over 50. FREE TO TRY Your first photo analyses are free. Then Carbora Pro: $9.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 14-day free trial. Your meal history and glucose log stay free forever. Carbora provides approximate estimates and is not medical advice. Always confirm with your care team before making treatment decisions. Carbora Pro is an auto-renewable subscription ($9.99/month or $59.99/year). Payment is charged to your Apple ID; it renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your device Settings.
