How we measured it →Words you can paste
Written to be pasted exactly as they are. Need it shorter? Drop a paragraph rather than rewriting the claims. Every number in here is one I can back up. I'd much rather you quoted me than paraphrased me into something I didn't say.
The name
Snapkin. One p, capital S, nothing else capitalised. It's a napkin and a snap. That's the whole joke. Not SnapKin, not Snap Kin, and please not Snapkin AI.
One line
Snapkin is a calorie tracker you use by photographing your plate.
One paragraph
Snapkin is a calorie tracker you use by photographing your plate. There's no scale to weigh with, no barcode to scan and no database to search. Take one photo per meal. Snapkin works out what is on the plate, how many calories it has, and how much protein you have had today. It runs on iPhone and Android in 10 languages, and costs €9.99 a month or €99.99 a year.
Three paragraphs
Snapkin is a calorie tracker built on one observation. People do not quit calorie trackers because the numbers are wrong. They quit because the logging is work. Weighing rice, scanning barcodes and picking the right oatmeal out of a list of fourteen takes a few minutes a meal, several times a day. Almost nobody keeps that up past the second week. Snapkin asks for one thing instead: a photograph of the plate. It does the rest itself.
Photograph a meal. Snapkin names what is on it, works out the portions from the plate and the knife and fork beside them, counts the fat it was cooked in, and adds the result to the day. Where it isn't sure, it asks one question about whatever would change the number most. It writes the answer down as one plain sentence you can read, edit or delete. So it asks less about your kitchen every week. It puts protein first. When you eat less than you burn, protein decides how much of the weight you lose is fat and how much is muscle. The estimate is never dressed up as a measurement. The app shows what it assumed and lets you correct it. The published evidence, including the studies that argue against tracking, is written up in full at getsnapkin.app/en/research.
