€9.99 a month or €99.99 a year. The store bills you. Cancel there any time.

An answer makes the estimate clearer
Open what the meal is not sure about. Answer two questions about cooking fats. Dinner changes from 940 to 850 kcal. The daily total updates, and the doubt is gone.

One meal, two apps

The same meal, logged in both apps.

MyFitnessPal

A search for every food
  1. Open the meal and tap "Add food".
  2. Search for the first food.
  3. Pick one of the results.
  4. Type in the portion.
  5. Do it again for every other food on the plate.

Why not a photo? MyFitnessPal's photo scan needs Premium. It only works with the app set to English. And you still pick the portion yourself.

Snapkin

1 photo
Snapkin asks a question about the meal, with one button for each answer. The logged meal in Snapkin, with every item in grams and kcal.
  1. Take a photo of your meal.
  2. Tap one answer to the question it asks.
  3. Done. Every item is there, with grams and kcal.

Packaged food? No barcode scanner needed. Take a photo of the label. Snapkin reads the numbers on the packet and remembers the product.

Why people switch

One photo instead of a search per food

  • One photo, not a search for every food on the plate.
  • It asks about the oil and butter you cannot see.
  • Every meal shows how sure it is.
  • No barcode needed: a photo of the label is enough.
  • Photo logging in ten languages.
  • No ads. Your diary is never sold or used to train AI.
