How it works
Three seconds between your photo and your journal.
No tedious data entry, no digging through an endless database. You take the photo, the AI does the rest, and you keep the final say.

02
The AI analyzes it in 3 seconds
It recognizes the foods, estimates calories and macros, and honestly shows you its confidence score.
03
Your journal fills itself in
The meal joins your day. A portion to tweak? Two taps is all it takes, and the total recalculates.
Why FotoMeal
We built the app we wanted to use ourselves.
Three commitments, kept. Not marketing promises: choices you can verify from your very first scan.
Transparent pricing
€29.99/year, all in, shown right here before you even download, which is rare in a category where the price only appears after an onboarding quiz. Barcode scanning, the journal and manual entry stay free for life. The paywall is announced clearly, and it closes.
Price shown before downloadOur margin of error, shown
The photo scan is an AI estimate, and it shows its confidence score every time. When the AI is less sure, you see it, and you adjust the values before adding them. Barcode scanning draws on Open Food Facts, an open public database.
These figures are estimates, not medical or dietary advice. For anything about your health, allergies or diet, talk to a professional. Read the full notice
Confidence score on every photo scanRespect for you

FAQ
Real answers to real questions.
Is the AI really accurate?
It's an estimate, not a measurement, and it shows its confidence score on every photo scan. When the AI is less sure (an unusual dish, an odd portion, a dark photo), the score tells you, and you adjust in two taps: you always keep the final say. We'd rather show you our margin of error than hide it. More in Is photo calorie counting accurate?

What happens to my photos?
They're sent encrypted to our server for the analysis by our AI provider (OpenAI). FotoMeal never stores them, never resells them, and doesn't use them to profile you or to train the AI. OpenAI may keep an image for up to 30 days, only to detect abuse. The details are in our privacy policy.
How do I cancel my subscription?
In a few taps, from your phone's subscription settings (App Store on iPhone, Google Play on Android), whenever you want. No form, no email to send, no attempt to hold you back. Cancel before the end of the 7-day trial and you pay nothing.
What does the paywall look like?
It's closable. It clearly states the price (€29.99/year) and the 7-day trial, then lets you carry on with the free version if you prefer. No hidden “close” button, no fake free tier, no anxiety-inducing countdown.
Is it available on iPhone?
Yes. FotoMeal is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, with the same features and the same 7-day free trial.
What exactly stays free?
Barcode scanning, food search, manual entry, the food journal and 30 days of history: free for life. Unlimited AI photo scanning, with its confidence score, and your full history are part of Premium.
