nCal
Snap a photo of your food. AI tells you the calories
nCal is a minimal calorie tracker for iPhone that uses AI to identify food — type a description, pick from your photo library, or snap a photo. No manual logging, no barcode scanning. Get calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. Data syncs privately via iCloud — no account required. • AI recognition via text, photo, or camera • No account, no data collected • Macro trends & Home Screen widgets
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Qian Yiyu, the maker of nCal.
I built this because every calorie app I tried felt like a second job. Searching food databases, scanning barcodes, estimating portions — I'd give up after three days. I wanted something that worked the way my brain does: take a photo, move on.
nCal uses AI to identify your food and return a full nutrition breakdown in seconds. No account to create, no subscription required to get started, and your photos are never stored — they're sent to the AI and immediately discarded.
I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you've struggled to stick with calorie tracking before. Happy to answer any questions below! 🙏
