Point your camera at dinner.
KalTrack reads the plate and estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat in seconds. No searching a database. No weighing every ingredient.
Free on iPhone. A few AI scans every day at no cost; KalTrack Pro removes the limit.
Three steps, about ten seconds
- 1
Point and shoot
Fit the plate in frame and tap. The photo goes off for analysis and is not stored on our servers.
- 2
Confirm the portion
You get the food it recognised and a calorie figure. Two taps to adjust the portion if it read the plate bigger or smaller than it was.

It lands in the diary
Calories and macros go against today's budget. The diary works offline and syncs when you are back on a signal.
Three ways to log, one of them is a photo
Most days the camera is fastest. When it is not, the other two are exact rather than estimated, and that is the point.
A meal on a plate
Cooked food, mixed dishes, restaurant plates, home cooking. Indian and other non-Western cuisines are handled properly rather than mapped onto the nearest American approximation.
A barcode
Packaged food scans against the Open Food Facts database and returns the manufacturer's own figures. Not an estimate — the number off the packet. Barcode lookups do not count against your daily free scans.
A nutrition label
Point at the panel on the back of the box and KalTrack reads it. Again, the printed figures, not a guess about what is inside.
What a photo can and cannot tell you
A photograph shows surface area. It does not show the oil the vegetables were fried in, the butter under the steak, or the weight of the rice hiding under the curry. So a photo estimate has real error, and the error usually runs low: hidden fats and dense carbohydrates are exactly what a camera cannot see.
KalTrack is built around that rather than in spite of it. It shows the food it thinks it found and lets you correct the portion in two taps, and where a figure can be read rather than guessed — a barcode, a printed label — it reads it instead.
Use the numbers as a consistent signal you can steer by, not as a measurement. If you need clinical precision, weigh your food; nothing that works from a picture is a substitute for a scale, and KalTrack is not a medical device.
Questions
How accurate is a calorie estimate from a photo?
It is an estimate, not a measurement, and it tends to run low because the things a camera cannot see — cooking oil, butter, dressing, the rice under the curry — are calorie-dense. KalTrack shows you what it recognised so you can correct the portion, and reads barcodes and nutrition labels exactly rather than estimating them. The accuracy page goes through this properly.
What does it cost?
The app is free to download and you get a few AI scans every day at no cost. Barcode lookups are always free and do not count against that. KalTrack Pro removes the scan limit at $9.99/month or $29.99/year, each with a 7-day free trial. The billed price is shown before you start the trial, and you cancel in iOS Settings in two taps.
Does it work for Indian food?
Yes, and that was a deliberate build decision rather than an afterthought. Most calorie trackers were built against American food databases and turn a dal into the nearest lentil soup. KalTrack's analysis is cuisine-aware, so dishes are recognised as themselves.
Is my meal photo kept?
No. It is sent for analysis, used to produce the estimate, and not stored on our servers. The privacy policy names every third party involved, including the AI model that does the analysis.
Does it work without a connection?
The diary does — entries are stored on your device and sync when you are back online. Scanning needs a connection because the analysis runs on a server.
Does it connect to Apple Health?
Optionally. With your permission it reads steps and active energy to adjust your daily budget, and can write what you log back to Health. Those readings stay on your device.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. KalTrack is iPhone-only today and Android is in development. There is no date to promise, so we are not promising one.
How do I cancel?
In Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. That is Apple's flow, it is two taps, and we have no separate one designed to slow you down. Cancelling before the trial ends means you are not charged.
