Snapkin

Snapkin is a calorie tracker designed for people who want less work. Instead of weighing ingredients or scanning barcodes, you snap a photo of your meal and the app counts calories and protein from what it can see.

After the photo, Snapkin names what’s on your plate, estimates portions, and accounts for cooking fat and sauce. If a detail would meaningfully change the number, it asks one question and shows how much your answer affects the estimate. You can tap an answer, choose “I do not know,” or review and edit what was assumed.

Snapkin adds your logged meal to the day alongside your targets, with a focus on protein first. It also supports repeating past meals quickly, offers a home screen widget for your protein ring, and can read your weight automatically from Apple Health or Health Connect. It works without signal by waiting to upload when you open the app later, and it runs on iPhone and Android in 10 languages.

Do I need to weigh my food or scan barcodes?

No. Snapkin is built around photographing your plate, not weighing or barcode scanning. You may be asked a single follow-up question only when one detail would noticeably change the estimate.

How does Snapkin handle restaurant meals and home cooking?

It supports logging by photographing what’s on your plate. Cooking fats, sauces, and portion sizes are estimated from the photo, and the app will indicate when it has rougher numbers (such as when a menu is farther from the camera).

Why does Snapkin focus on protein first?

Protein is treated as the main number you’re trying to reach, while calories, carbs, and fat are treated as limits to stay under. The app’s guidance is built around how protein affects what you lose when you eat less than you burn.

What happens if I don’t answer Snapkin’s question after the photo?

If a detail could change the estimate, you can choose “I do not know.” Snapkin still logs an estimate either way, and you can review what it assumed.

Can I reuse meals without taking another photo?

Yes. Snapkin keeps meals you log, and you can use “Usual meal” to repeat one in a few taps without taking a new photo.

Does Snapkin work offline?

Yes. You can photograph the meal without a signal, and Snapkin uploads the log the next time you open the app with a connection.
