Pinchpoint

Pinchpoint estimates your body fat percentage from a single belly photo. Open the app. Tap. Take one photo. See your number. That's the whole product. WHY ONE PHOTO Calipers are awkward and inconsistent. DEXA scans cost $50+ and need an appointment. Smart scales drift week to week. Pinchpoint gives you a directional read in 5 seconds — useful for tracking, not for medical decisions. HOW IT WORKS A multimodal AI model analyzes your photo: visible abdominal definition, V-cut, fat fold over the navel, lat-to-waist taper. It returns a calibrated estimate (3%–60%), a classification (Athletic, Fit, Average, Above avg, High), and a confidence score. If it can't read the photo cleanly — bad lighting, clothing in the way, not a body shot — it tells you so honestly instead of inventing a number. WHAT'S TRACKED • Estimate over time, on a clean trend chart • Optional weight (so you also see fat mass and lean mass) • A history grid to compare today's read to last month's • Before/after slider when you have two saved entries PRIVACY — THIS IS THE WHOLE POINT • No account. No email. No cloud sync. • No analytics, no ad SDKs, no third-party trackers. • Photos and history live on this device. • A random 256-bit ID is generated at install — that's the only identifier the analysis backend ever sees, and it can't be linked to you. • Tap "Erase All" in Settings and the server-side row + any cached photos are deleted; the device ID rotates so the next session is a brand-new identity. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Pinchpoint produces estimates. Body fat measurement is an estimation problem at every level — DEXA, BodPod, and hydrostatic weighing all disagree with each other. Use this for trends, not absolute values. If you have a clinical reason to know your body composition precisely, see a doctor. MADE FOR People who want a quick, honest, judgment-free read.
