Cal Counter · on the App Store
Snap a photo.
Log your meal.
Cal Counter turns a photo of your plate into calories, protein, carbs, and fat. No searching a food database, no picking serving sizes from a dropdown, it just works.
How it works
Snap a photo
Point your camera at your plate. That's the whole job — no barcode hunting, no search bar.
AI does the work
It figures out what it's looking at and estimates the calories and macros. It's an estimate, not a lab report — anything it gets wrong, you fix with a tap.
See where you stand
Your day totals up against your targets automatically, and trends build over weeks. No spreadsheets, no nightly data-entry ritual.
Two things worth saying up front
The estimates are estimates
An AI looking at a photo cannot know how much oil went in the pan. Cal Counter gets you close enough to spot a trend over weeks, which is the part that actually moves the needle — it is not a nutrition label, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Every number is editable.
Tracking isn't for everyone
If counting calories has been bad for you before, this app will probably be bad for you again. That's a real thing and I'd rather say it here than bury it in the terms. If logging food causes you distress, please don't use it.
A real example
The label on this bar says 610 calories. In the clip at the top of this page, Cal Counter estimates 500 from the photo alone — the right range, but low, because the bar is bigger than one square. Bump the quantity to 1¼ and it comes out to 625.
It won't always land that close, but it gets you in the right range in a few seconds, and fixing it is a tap.
It's out
Cal Counter is on the App Store now. The free version does the whole job — photo logging, macros, targets, trends. The paid tier adds state-of-the-art food analysis.
