Snapkin

Snapkin is a calorie tracker built for minimal effort. Instead of weighing ingredients or scanning barcodes, you snap a photo of your meal and Snapkin works out the calories and protein based on what it can see.

After you take the photo, Snapkin names what’s on your plate and estimates portion sizes. It also accounts for cooking fat and sauce—details that many trackers miss. If one specific detail could meaningfully change the estimate, the app asks you a single question and shows how your answer affects the number. You can also choose “I do not know,” and Snapkin will still log an estimate either way, with what it assumed visible for review and edits.

Snapkin adds your logged meal to your day alongside your targets, with a “protein first” approach: protein is treated as the minimum goal to reach, while calories, carbs, and fat are treated as limits to stay under. If you’re eating something you logged before, you can repeat past meals in a few taps using “Usual meal,” without taking another photo.

Snapkin also supports widgets and watch readouts (Apple Watch and Wear OS) and can read your weight automatically from Apple Health or Health Connect. It works without signal by waiting to upload until you open the app later. Pricing: try free for 3 days; then €9.99/month or €99.99/year (shown as a discounted limited-time launch price of €49.99/year) via the app, with no card required for the first 3 days.

Do I need to weigh my food or scan barcodes to log meals?

No. Snapkin is designed around photographing your plate instead of weighing ingredients or scanning barcodes. You may be asked one follow-up question only when a detail could noticeably change the estimate.

How does Snapkin handle cooking fat, sauces, and restaurant portions?

It estimates cooking fat and sauce from your photo, not just the visible food. For restaurant menus or dishes farther from the camera, Snapkin flags that the numbers are rougher.

What if I don’t know how to answer a question after the photo?

You can choose “I do not know.” Snapkin will still log an estimate either way, and you can review what it assumed and edit corrections.

Can I repeat meals I’ve logged before without taking another photo?

Yes. Snapkin keeps meals you log, and you can use “Usual meal” to re-add a past meal in a few taps.

Does Snapkin work if I don’t have a signal?

Yes. You can take the photo without signal, and Snapkin waits on your phone to upload the log when you open the app later with a connection.

Is there a free trial and what does it cost afterward?

You can try Snapkin free for 3 days with no card required. After the trial, it’s €9.99/month or €99.99/year (shown with a limited-time launch price of €49.99/year) via the app.
