It learns you

Explain something once. It stops asking.

In week one it asks questions, because it does not know your kitchen yet. Each habit it spots becomes a sentence you can read and delete. Within weeks, your usual food needs no questions.

Week 1 · Breakfast

A white tub in a bowl. It cannot tell which one. So it asks. The answer changes the protein by fourteen grams.

Yoghurt, or skyr?
Skyr, the 0% one.
That night · 04:00

Overnight it looks back over the day. It writes down the one thing it learned. One sentence, in plain words.

Skyr: eats the 0% one, not yoghurt.

Saved under what it knows about you. Delete it there if it is wrong.

Week 3 · The same breakfast

Same tub, same bowl. No question this time.

Skyr with berries
Breakfast · no questions

Eats the 0% skyr, not yoghurt.

Kitchen scalemethodtold once

Sets the scale to zero before each ingredient. So a reading is only the thing just added, never the bowl.

The jar was in one photo, with its label. 250 kcal per 100 g, used for every slice since.

This screen is in the app. Nothing on it was typed into a settings form. It all came from meals you photographed and things you said about them. Every line has a delete button next to it.

It is a list of sentences, not a hidden profile

You can open and read a list. A hidden profile, you would just have to trust.

You can read every line.

"Eats the 0% skyr, not yoghurt." "Sets the scale to zero before each ingredient." Plain sentences in the language you use the app in, not hidden settings nobody can check.

You can delete any of them.

One button per line. Forget it and the app stops using it. If it is almost right, edit it instead, or it may learn the same thing again.

You can see how sure it is of each one.

Each line says how many times it was seen. A line you changed yourself is marked "yours".

You never fill in a settings form.

It all comes from your meals and what you said about them. You can still edit any line. There is no preferences screen to fill in before the app is any good.

The Snapkin Memory screen with one remembered fact open for editing, and a "Used for" picker that sets which meals it applies to.
How it explains itself

Some of it is about you, some of it is about breakfast

A label's brand is true for every meal. "The big bowl is the 400 ml one" is true for breakfast only. Each fact says which meals it is for, and most let you change that.

A memory never overrides the photo

An app that learns your habits could stop looking at the photo. Snapkin does not. This is the order it decides in.

  1. A label in the photo
  2. What is visible on the plate
  3. What you typed about this meal
  4. What it remembers about you

When Snapkin uses a memory, it says so under that ingredient. The line names what it assumed. So the one night you had full-fat yoghurt, you catch it that evening, not a month later.

Tell it something once

It's that simple. It keeps working through restaurants, holidays and busy weeks. There is nothing else to keep up with.
