Daily Portion Buddy is portion control without the spreadsheet. Define your own food categories and serving sizes — vegetables, protein, water, or anything your own plan calls for — then tap once each time you eat a serving. No calorie database to search, no macros to calculate by hand, just a simple daily picture of whether you're eating balanced. HOW IT WORKS • Define your categories — set a serving size and a daily target for each one, worded the way you actually think about food (a cup, a palm, a glass). • Tap to log servings — every portion is one tap. Watch each category fill in as you go through the day. • Hit your daily goal — a simple progress bar shows how balanced today is. Flip back through past days anytime. AI-SUGGESTED CATEGORIES & SERVINGS Not sure where to start? Tell us your sex, age, and weight and Daily Portion Buddy suggests a starting set of categories and daily serving targets for you to adjust as you go. SNAP A PLATE — AI PHOTO FOOD ID Take a photo and Snap A Plate identifies the food, estimates which of your categories and how many servings it covers, and gives you an estimated calorie and macro (protein, carb, fat) breakdown. The AI forms an initial read, then explicitly re-examines distinguishing details — sauce, texture, hot vs. cold, mixed-in ingredients, and how mounded or deep the portion is — before finalizing, to cut down on mix-ups between similar-looking dishes. Estimates are informational only and never replace your own judgment. SPEAK A PLATE Prefer to describe your meal instead of photographing it? Speak or type what you ate and get the same category, calorie, and macro estimate. CHEF BUDDY A lighthearted way to see your progress: pick from the categories you still have room for today and watch Buddy "cook up" a plate with them. Purely cosmetic, purely for fun — a small reward for staying on track. MOOD CHECK-INS Log how you're feeling alongside your portions, with a private note field. Optionally share just your mood level (never your notes) with your Social Circle for encouragement. FAMILY & SUPPORT CIRCLE Track portions for more than one family member from a single account, or invite a supporter to your Circle for accountability and encouragement. Built for households managing portions together, not just solo tracking. KIDS MODE A simpler, kid-friendly logging view, plus optional mood & behavior notes — including on-device voice dictation for the note field, so younger or older family members can speak instead of type. Dictation is on-device speech-to-text only; nothing is sent to a server or an AI model. REPORTS, HISTORY & AI INSIGHTS Look back at any past day, see how consistently you're hitting your targets by category, export a doctor-ready PDF summary, and generate an AI-written insight that surfaces patterns between your logged mood and your portions over the last 7 or 30 days. Available in 9 languages. Daily Portion Buddy is a tracking and habit tool, not a medical device — it does not diagnose, treat, or replace advice from a physician or registered dietitian. AI-estimated calories and macros are approximations based on a single photo, description, or audio clip, not a lab or database lookup. Premium AI features (Snap A Plate, Speak A Plate, AI-suggested categories, PDF export, and AI insights) run on a monthly token allowance included with a Personal or Family subscription plan. Start tracking — it's free.
