Four ways in
The marks show how exact an entry starts out. You can always say more — the resolution is yours to set.
Point at the plate before anyone picks up a fork.
Say it out loud while your hands are still in the pan.
“Two eggs, sourdough, half an avocado.”
Scan it while you're holding the box.
A photo, a spoken sentence, a line of text, a barcode. One step, and your part is over.
You don't wait on it. The analysis runs whether you're watching or not — go back to the table, and your log is there when you next look.
“The chicken was around 200 grams.” Every detail you already have tightens the numbers around it. Raising the resolution costs you words, not another trip through a search field.
Why ease is the feature
You don't quit on day one — you start cutting corners. You skip the olive oil because it's one more search for 120 calories. You take the first entry that looks close. You round the rice. You reconstruct Friday from memory on Sunday.
The app is still accurate. Your data isn't. Accuracy is not something an app has; it's something you produce, meal after meal, and you only produce it when it's easy. Every extra step is charged to your data.
The full weeks are the meals you've eaten a hundred times. The short ones are the trip and the dinners out — every meal you hadn't logged before.
Both kinds of eater
Variable
The same meal made three slightly different ways in one week. The effort per meal is the whole ballgame — every variation is otherwise a small research project.
Repeating
Save the meal once, tap it, done. When your goal moves — cutting to maintaining to gaining — the portions move with it, instead of making you rebuild the day by hand.
Off-catalogue
That isn't a knock on databases — it's what catalogues are, and we lean on them hard. They were never going to hold your grandmother's cooking, or a market stall in a city you're in for four days. A model doesn't need a catalogue entry to recognise food, and you can sharpen its answer with a sentence.
On your food, in your language, wherever you eat.
From the beta
The gap in my log was always the interesting week. Travel, restaurants, anything I hadn't eaten before. Six weeks in and there isn't a gap.
I say the grams out loud when I know them and skip it when I don't. It's the first tracker that lets me be exact without charging me for it.
Coeliac, two kids, no time. The trigger warning has caught a dressing twice now — before dinner, not after.
