Snap your meal,
get the calorie estimates.

Point your camera at the plate. Hunger names what is on it and works out the calories and macros while you eat.

The estimate is a starting point, not a verdict — every item, portion and number is yours to correct.

Free to use. The camera included.

In most calorie apps the camera is the paywall: you can type food in for nothing, and photographing it costs a subscription. That is backwards — photographing it is the whole point.

Photo estimates, the Feed, Apple Health, goals and three macro splits — free for everyone.
Hunger VIP, $3.99 a month, is optional: keep your meals private, set your own macro split, see a detailed dashboard of how you are tracking, and get far more cloud estimates a day.
No ads, and nothing sold on about you.

Today: a ring of calories against protein, carbs and fat — Today, against your goal

The meal log, with favorites along the top — Every meal, and the ones you keep

A photographed meal, with a switch for sharing it to the Feed — Share a plate, or keep it

A meal's items, each with a portion slider and its own macros — Correct any portion

Goals: daily calories and the macro split — Your calories and split

How it goes

Photograph what you are eating, or describe it in a line.
Hunger estimates the items, their portions, and the calories and macros — while you eat.
Correct anything that is wrong. There is no Save button: corrections are written as they are made.

Whose model reads the plate

That is yours to choose, in Profile, and any meal can be re-evaluated with another:

Online sends the photo to Hunger's own server, which passes it to a free-tier AI model to be estimated. It is not kept.
Apple on-device never lets it leave your iPhone. Needs Apple Intelligence.
Apple Private Cloud Compute sends it to Apple, which uses it for the request and does not keep it.

There is no silent fallback between them: whichever one it is answers, or you see that model's own error.

The online path uses the free tiers of those providers, and a free tier's terms commonly let the provider keep what is sent and train its models on it. Hunger says so in the app before your first photo goes, and typing a meal is always there instead.

Your meals stay yours

Meals, photos, goals and settings live on your iPhone. Looking around needs no account at all — only adding meals and the Feed need Sign in with Apple, and Hunger asks Apple for no name and no email.

Hunger reads active energy, workouts and weight from Apple Health only with your permission, and writes meals back only if you ask it to.

No tracking across other apps or websites and no selling or sharing with data brokers. Hunger counts which parts of the app get used, anonymously and with no photos or meal text, and a switch in Profile turns that off.
