Photo calorie counter
Snap your meal and get calories, carbs, protein and fat, plus sugar and saturated fat, in seconds. The judges count only what's on your plate, not the shared dishes around it, and they read nutrition labels on packaged food.
AI calorie counter: Snap your meal, three AI judges count the calories
Take a photo of your meal, or just describe it, and three different AI models each estimate the calories and macros. You get their average, so one model's bad guess doesn't ruin your day. Your food diary stays on your phone, with no account. Estimates need an internet connection, since the photo is sent to the AI models.

How CaloriesJury works
From photo to a fair calorie number in seconds.
- 1
Snap or describe
Take a photo of your plate, pick one from your gallery, or type or say what you ate ("2 eggs, toast with butter, a flat white"). Dictation works in many languages.
- 2
Three judges estimate
Your photo and note go online to three different AI models, and each one estimates the calories, carbs, protein and fat, and list what's on the plate with grams.
- 3
Get the fair number
You see the average, the range ("judges 465 to 502") and each judge's number. Not right? Tap Looks wrong? and say what's different, like "it was half a portion", and the judges estimate again.
Why three AI judges?
Calorie estimates from a photo are hard: a photo can't be weighed, and a single AI model can be confidently wrong. CaloriesJury asks three different AI models at once and averages them. When one judge is far off, the other two pull the number back. You also see how close the judges were, so you know how much to trust the number.
Features
Everything you need to track calories, macros and weight, without an account.
No photo? Describe it
Type or dictate what you ate, with amounts if you know them, and the judges estimate from your words. You can add a photo later.
See what's on the plate, and fix it
Every estimate lists the foods with their grams. Tap an item to change the grams or remove it, and the totals update. Or tap Looks wrong?, type or say what's off, or replace the photo, and all three judges estimate again.
Quantity in one tap
Ate two? Set the quantity from ½ to 10 servings, and the calories and macros multiply without asking the judges again.
Favorite meals
Star the meals you eat often. Log them again in one tap from Favorites, with search, and the same calories, without waiting for an estimate.
Your day at a glance
A ring shows the calories left today, with eaten, burned and net. The week strip marks each day green (within your goal) or orange (over). Swipe the ring for a 7-day chart against your goal.
Photo food diary
Every meal you logged, as a photo grid, day by day with each day's total. Tap any photo to open the meal.
Charts: week, month, year or any range
See your calories per day for a week or a month, or the monthly average for a year, or pick any dates. Each view shows days logged, daily average, days within goal, and your carbs, protein and fat per day.
Weight tracker
Log your weight in kg or lb, for today or any past day, and see the trend over 1 month, 3 months, a year or all time.
Calories burned from Apple Health
Connect Apple Health to add the active calories your Apple Watch measured to today's budget, or type in what you burned. Switch between Food only and With burned at any time. It's optional and read-only: nothing is written to Apple Health.
One + for everything
A single + button adds a meal (photo, description or favorite) or logs your weight.
Always a way to log
If the judges can't answer (no connection, or the beta's daily limit), tap Enter calories yourself and type the calories and, if you know them, the macros.
Private by design
No account. No ads. Your diary stays on your phone.
Your meals, photos and weight are saved only on your phone. There is no sign-up and no server that keeps your food diary.
What goes online: getting an estimate needs an internet connection. The photo and note of the meal you're logging (or your description) are sent over an encrypted connection to the three AI models, only to answer that request. Logging a favorite or entering calories yourself sends nothing. The app also sends anonymous usage stats that never include your meals or weight, and you can turn them off in Settings.

What is CaloriesJury?
CaloriesJury is an AI calorie counter for iPhone. You take a photo of your meal, or describe it, and three different AI models estimate the calories and macros. The app shows their average and keeps a photo food diary, charts and your weight.
How does a photo calorie counter work?
The AI models recognise the foods in your photo, estimate the portion size in grams, and use standard nutrition data to work out calories, carbs, protein and fat. CaloriesJury asks three models and averages their answers.
How accurate is it?
Every photo estimate is an estimate, because a photo can't be weighed. Portion size is the hardest part. Averaging three models makes big mistakes much rarer. You can see how close the judges were, fix the grams of any item, or correct the meal in words.
Is CaloriesJury free?
Yes, the beta is free.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login.
Where is my data stored?
Your food diary (meals, photos, weight) is stored only on your phone. Deleting a meal deletes its photo, and deleting the app deletes everything.
Does it need an internet connection?
Yes, to estimate a meal. The three AI judges run online, so the photo and note of the meal you're logging are sent to them to get an answer. Your diary itself stays on your phone, and logging a favorite or entering calories yourself sends nothing.
Can I log a meal without a photo?
Yes. Type or dictate what you ate, and the judges estimate from your description. You can also enter the calories yourself.
Does it track macros?
Yes: carbs, protein and fat for every meal, plus sugar and saturated fat, with daily and monthly macro charts.
Does it work with Apple Health and Apple Watch?
Yes, optionally. CaloriesJury can read the active calories you burned and add them to your daily budget. It never writes to Apple Health.
Is there a limit on estimates?
During the beta, each phone can ask the judges 30 times a day (new estimates and corrections). Logging a favorite, changing the quantity and entering calories yourself are always unlimited.
Which phones are supported?
iPhone for now. Android is planned.
Is it medical advice?
No. CaloriesJury is for general information and tracking only. Calories are AI estimates and can be wrong. Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your diet.
