Estimate calories from a photo

What Caloplate does

You photograph a meal. Caloplate recognises what is on the plate, estimates the amount and works out calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat from it. The result lands in your diary.

On top of that there are a barcode scanner, reading nutrition tables, a water counter, a weight history, a daily plan and 292 recipes.

Caloplate estimates — and says how sure it is

A number from a photo is an estimate, not a measurement. A photo shows area, not volume, and oil, dressing or sugar cannot be seen in any picture.

That is why Caloplate gives a range for every amount and says how sure the estimate is. We do not promise an accuracy that a single photo cannot deliver.

Caloplate is not a medical device, makes no diagnosis and does not replace medical or nutritional advice.

What stays on the device

Caloplate reads barcodes and nutrition tables on the iPhone itself — with Apple's Vision framework. No image leaves your phone for this; for a barcode only the digits go to Open Food Facts.

Your diary, your body data, your plan and your weight history live only on your device. They are not transmitted.

To analyse a meal, the photo is downsized and transmitted — this is explained in full in the privacy policy, including the providers involved. The analysis runs in data centres in the European Union.

No account, no sign-in

Caloplate needs no e-mail address, no password and no account. After installation the app is usable at once.

No ads, no tracking across apps, no passing on or selling of your data.

Caloplate Pro

Setting up is free. After that you try Caloplate for free: three photo analyses and five days from the first start; barcode scans and everything else are free during that time. After the five days you need Caloplate Pro to keep using Caloplate — as a monthly or yearly subscription through your Apple Account.

Neither subscription has a free trial period.

The prices are shown in the app; the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your data stays on your device; you can export or delete it at any time, even without a subscription.

Device and languages

Caloplate runs on the iPhone. There is no iPad and no Android version.

The interface, the privacy policy and the terms of use are available in ten languages. The German version of the terms of use is the binding one.
