PlateReveal

Track calories by pointing your camera. AI food scan, barcode lookup, and recipe import, all on-device. Your photos and data never leave your phone.

PlateReveal is the calorie tracker for people tired of typing.

Point your iPhone at any meal and you get the calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. No subscription. No cloud servers. Your food photos never leave your device.

— THE FEATURES —

• Photo scan. Snap a picture, get macros. PlateReveal's AI runs entirely on the Neural Engine inside your iPhone. Faster than typing. Works offline.

• Barcode scanner. Wave your camera over a packaged food. We look it up in OpenFoodFacts — the world's largest open food database — and pull in the macros automatically.

• Recipe import. Paste a recipe URL from NYT Cooking, Serious Eats, or any site with structured nutrition data. We parse it and add the macros for the portion you ate.

• Custom foods. Got a homemade favorite? Create it once with your own numbers and save it.

• Search. A clean search across foods you've created, foods you've logged before, and your favorites.

— PERSONALIZED, NOT GENERIC —

Onboarding takes a minute. Tell us your sex, date of birth, height, weight, goal weight, activity level, and the pace you want to move. We compute your daily calorie target using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the same formula your doctor uses — and split it into protein, carb, and fat goals you can hit.

— DAILY USE LOOP —

The home screen shows the day's calorie ring at a glance: kcal eaten, kcal left, and three macro bars. Meals group by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks. Tap any meal to view, edit, duplicate to today, or delete. Pull to refresh.

— PROGRESS, NOT JUST NUMBERS —

The Progress tab shows your weight trend, daily calorie history versus goal, your current streak, and weekly insights. Log a weight whenever you weigh in. Watch the trend instead of obsessing over a single day.

— GENTLE REMINDERS —

Three meal-time reminders and a daily check-in. Set the times once, turn them off whenever. No marketing notifications. No guilt-trip prompts.

— PRIVACY THAT'S ACTUALLY PRIVATE —

Your profile, your meal logs, your weight history — all of it stays on your iPhone in local storage. We don't run a server. We don't sell data. We don't have analytics SDKs. The only outbound network calls are barcode lookups to OpenFoodFacts and recipe URLs you paste in yourself. Photos are processed entirely on-device.

— WHO IT'S FOR —

You want a calorie tracker that respects your time and your privacy. You're tired of typing food names into search boxes. You don't want to pay every month for something you'll use a few times a week. You'd rather your data live on your phone than in someone else's database.

— FREE —

There's no free trial because there's no paid tier. Track as much as you want.
