Track your calories

Claude vision
the model behind photo analysis
Three seconds, start to logged.
Snap it
Three quick angles of your plate — top-down, 45°, close-up. More angles give the AI real portion cues instead of a guess from one flat photo.
Check it
CalBud names every item and estimates the macros. Nudge a portion, swap an ingredient, delete what isn't yours — calories and macros stay in sync as you edit.
Log it
One tap and it's in your day. Streaks, weight trends and your weekly review take it from there.
Why CalBud AI?
Most people quit tracking because logging is a chore. CalBud removes the chore.
~3s
to log a meal
Faster than any database
A photo takes seconds. Hunting a food database for what you actually ate takes minutes — which is why most people quit tracking inside a week.

ways to log
Six ways to log
Photo, barcode, nutrition label, QR code, text search, or just describe it in your own words. Whatever's fastest for the food in front of you.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the photo analysis?
It's an estimate, and the app says so. Multi-angle capture gives the model real depth and portion cues, which is why CalBud asks for up to three photos instead of one — but no photo can see the oil in the pan. Every result is editable before you log it, and for packaged food the barcode and nutrition-label scanners read the exact numbers straight off the label.
What do I get for free?
Every new account starts with a 3-day full-access preview, no card needed. After that you're on the free plan, with no time limit, and the rule is simple: camera = Pro, keyboard = free. Anything you type stays free — food search, manual entry, My Foods (up to 10 saved foods), log again, recent foods and favorites — plus history, progress, weight, water and streaks. Anything you point the camera at (photo analysis, nutrition labels, barcodes and QR codes) is Pro. Nothing you tracked is deleted or locked away.
What does Pro cost, and what does it add?
$4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, billed through your Apple or Google account, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers; it renews until you cancel. Pro unlocks the camera — AI photo analysis (multi-angle), nutrition-label reading, barcode and QR scanning — plus describe-a-meal, the AI Coach, Groups, Apple Health / Health Connect sync and unlimited My Foods.
How do I cancel?
Cancel in your store, not in CalBud — the subscription belongs to your Apple or Google account. On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. On Android: Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for.
What happens to my data?
It stays in your own account. We don't sell it and we don't share it with anyone for advertising. Meal photos live in private storage only your account can read. You can delete your account and everything in it from Profile at any time, and it's immediate.
Is this medical advice?
No. CalBud gives estimated nutrition for general wellness. It is not a medical device and not a substitute for a doctor or a registered dietitian. If you're managing a medical condition, are pregnant, or have a history of disordered eating, please talk to a professional before changing how you eat.
