Food logging, honestly
Estimating a meal from a photo is never exact — not here, not anywhere. So MunchMetrics shows you the uncertainty instead of hiding it, and puts your weekly trend front and centre, where the signal actually is.
Android first. iOS to follow.
Every estimate carries its margin. A wide range is information, not a defect — it tells you when to look twice.
Daily totals bounce around for reasons that have nothing to do with you. The weekly trend is what we lead with.
No analytics SDK, no advertising IDs, no data brokers. Meal photos are deleted the moment they've been read.
Photograph the plate, check what it found, save. The checking step is the point — you know what you ate better than any model does.
One shot. It breaks the meal into ingredients rather than guessing a single total, and itemises the oil and butter most apps quietly leave out.
Drag a portion, rename an item, remove what isn't there. Anything low-confidence is flagged as worth a look — never as an error.
Correct your porridge to 150 g once and that's your usual portion from then on. Repeat yesterday in a single tap, with no model call at all.
Published error rates for photo-based food estimation sit around 20–30% for a mixed plate, and worse for anything sauced or layered. That's the honest state of the technology — including ours.
An app that reports “612 kcal” for that plate isn't more accurate than one reporting “610 ± 140”. It's the same estimate with the uncertainty removed to look authoritative.
Hiding it has a cost: you end up making decisions on a number that was never that precise, and blaming yourself when the maths doesn't line up. We'd rather show the range and point you at the weekly trend, which is accurate enough to act on.
The scanning costs us money per photo, so that's the paid part. Everything else is yours.

If a real price can't be loaded from the store, the buttons stay switched off rather than showing you a made-up number.
A food diary that becomes a compulsion has stopped helping. A few decisions follow from that.
Nothing punishes you for a missed day, and no screen turns red because a number went over.
Targets are clamped to a sustainable range, and the app tells you plainly when it has adjusted what you asked for.
One switch turns off every calorie and macro while keeping the log and the timeline. Under-18s get this by default.
