Most food tracker apps ask you to search a database, weigh the rice and type in grams, three times a day. Most people stop after a week. A photo takes three seconds, and a rough estimate you keep logging is worth more than a perfect one you abandon.
Photo of the plate
Point the camera at the meal. The dish and its calories come back in a few seconds.
Plate balance
Protein, carbs and fat as a share of the meal's energy, against the usual healthy ranges.
Next to your weight
The week's calories on the same timeline as weight, sleep and how you feel.

How the food tracker works
Open Nutrition in Anpheros Daily and tap the camera button.
- Take a photo of the meal. The app recognises the dish and estimates the calories.
- Adjust the portion with a slider, if you ate half or had seconds. The numbers follow.
- See where you are today: "you reach 1,450 of 2,200 kcal", with the meal added to today's list.
On the Plus and Max plans the AI analysis goes further: protein, carbohydrates and fat for each meal, shown as a circle with each part's share of the energy against the usual healthy ranges (protein about 15–25%, carbohydrates 45–60%, fat 20–35%). The week view shows a bar per day with your target line, so a heavy weekend is visible at a glance.
On the free Basic plan you can also photograph meals, a few per day, and you get a simpler result: what the dish is, approximate calories and how heavy the meal is.
The photo is deleted, the numbers stay
Once the meal is read, the photo is deleted from our servers. Only the result stays in your record: the dish, the calories, the macros, the time. Nobody browses your dinner photos, including us, and your storage does not fill up with plates.
Already using another food tracker?
If you log meals in another app that writes to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android), Anpheros Daily reads the daily totals from there on the Plus and Max plans: energy, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibre, sugar, sodium and caffeine. You keep the food diary you like and gain the context it lacks. See Apple Health and Health Connect.
Why food belongs in a health record
A food log on its own tells you calories. Next to the rest of your health, it tells you more:
- weight that stopped going down in the weeks you ate later in the evening;
- the stomach ache you noted in the symptom tracker on the days with a certain kind of meal;
- energy and sleep on the days with very little protein.
Anpheros Daily puts meals on the same timeline as your blood pressure, weight, sleep and steps, your symptoms and your medications. The app shows the pattern; what it means for you is a conversation for your doctor or a dietitian. It does not diagnose and does not prescribe a diet.
Estimates, not lab measurements
Calories from a photo are an estimate. The app cannot see the oil in the pan or the sugar in the sauce, and the same dish varies between kitchens. For everyday tracking that is fine: what matters is the trend over weeks, and a meal you photograph beats one you forget to log. If you follow a medical diet (diabetes, kidney disease, allergies), use the food tracker as a diary to show your doctor or dietitian, not as the measure you dose by.
Food tracker app for iPhone, Android and the web
Anpheros Daily is the same app on iPhone, Android, Mac and in the browser at app.anpheros.com, with one account and 20 languages. Photos are taken on the phone; the food diary, the week view and the timeline are on every device. Your data is stored in the European Union in HL7 FHIR, the format hospitals use, and you can export it at any time.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free food tracker app that works from a photo?
Yes. On the free Basic plan you can photograph a few meals a day and get the dish, approximate calories and how heavy the meal is. The detailed analysis with protein, carbohydrates and fat is in the Plus and Max plans; Plus has a 7-day trial, no card required.
How accurate are calories from a photo?
They are estimates. Portions, oil and sauces are hard to see in a picture, so a single meal can be off. You can correct the portion with the slider, and over weeks the trend is reliable enough to show what changes. For a medical diet, treat it as a diary, not a measuring scale.
Does the food tracker work with Apple Health or Health Connect?
Yes, on the Plus and Max plans. If another food app writes your meals to Apple Health or Health Connect, Anpheros Daily reads the daily totals for energy, macros, fibre, sugar, sodium and caffeine and places them on your timeline.
Do you keep the photos of my meals?
No. The photo is deleted right after it is analysed. Only the result (dish, calories, macros and time) stays in your record.
Can it tell me what to eat or put me on a diet?
No. Anpheros Daily shows what you ate and how it sits next to your weight, sleep and symptoms. It does not diagnose, prescribe diets or replace a doctor or dietitian. You can share the record with them, with your consent, for the period you choose.
Can I use it as a food diary for my doctor?
Yes. Meals, symptoms and measurements are in the same record, and the PDF report puts a period on pages your doctor reads in a minute. You can also give a doctor direct access to your record, revocable at any time.
