Calories from a photo
Take a picture of your plate — the app names the dish, estimates how much is on it and counts the calories along with protein, fat and carbs.
Version 1.8 · Android 7.0 and up · no sign-up
A photo instead of a food database
No hunting for “homemade stew” in a catalogue and no guessing grams: the model recognises the dish and estimates the portion from the plate and the cutlery.
It asks when it cannot tell
What is inside a dumpling, what dressing is on a salad, whether the coffee is sweetened — none of that is visible. The app asks one question and recalculates the calories from your answer.
Targets that fit you
Height, weight, age and the pace you want give you a daily target for calories and macros. From there you always see what is left for today.
Your diary stays on your phone
The diary lives in the app itself; only the photo is sent for analysis. We ask for your email once — so there is somewhere to keep a backup.
How to install on Android
- 1Tap “Download” — your browser will ask whether to keep the file. Keep it.
- 2Open the downloaded file. Android will warn that the source is unknown — allow installs from your browser in the settings screen it opens.
- 3Go back and tap “Install”.
The app is not on Google Play, which is why Android asks for that permission by hand. The file is signed with the developer key, so updates install over the old version and the diary survives.
On iPhone — no App Store needed
- 1Open app.calsculator.com in Safari — the app runs right in the browser.
- 2Tap “Share” in the bottom bar and choose “Add to Home Screen”.
- 3Launch it from the home screen: no address bar, and the camera and the diary work exactly the same.
The same works on Android if you would rather not deal with the APK. A plain browser tab is fine too — the home screen icon only removes the address bar.
Honestly, this is an early version
- Calories from a photo are an estimate, not a measurement: the model cannot see the oil in the pan or the sugar in your tea. Being off by 10–20% is normal.
- Ten entries a day are free. After that it takes a subscription — every photo costs money to analyse.
- The iPhone version is a web app, not an App Store title. The diary and the photos live in browser storage: clearing Safari data wipes them.
