Latest

Closer to the plate.

Estimates checked against a food database, a plate-size ruler for photos, and a way to help the AI learn from your corrections.

Improved

Checked against real food data

After the AI recognises your food and its portion, shotmeal now checks the calories and nutrients against the USDA food database and uses the reference values when they fit — so a bowl of rice or a chicken breast gets real-world numbers.

New

Your plate as a ruler

Tell shotmeal how big your plates are (Settings → AI). When a plate is in the photo, the AI uses it to judge portion sizes.

New

Help improve estimates

When you adjust an AI estimate before saving, shotmeal can share the correction anonymously — food names and numbers only, never photos or who you are — so estimates get better for everyone. You can turn it off in Settings → AI.

  • ImprovedOur privacy policy now spells out what support requests and anonymous corrections include.
  • New2.3.1: you decide whether shotmeal may measure how the app is used (asked once, switchable in Settings → AI) — never your meals, photos or weight, and never used to personalise ads.

Improved

A live household

Shared diaries now update by themselves while the app is open — a meal your partner logs shows up within seconds, no refresh needed.

Improved

Everyone's own nutrients

Looking at someone else's diary shows their nutrients and targets, not yours. People you track on your phone can have their own nutrient settings too.

  • NewScanned products keep the pack's photo, so your diary shows what you actually ate.
  • ImprovedSharper product photos when scanning a barcode.

Drink up.

Track water and drinks, scan packaged food, and fix any nutrient by hand.

New

Track what you drink

Turn on liquids tracking and log water with one tap — +2 dl, +3 dl, whatever you pour — with Undo if you slip. Juice, milk or beer count toward your calories too. Each person gets their own daily goal, based on EFSA reference values (sources in the app).

New

Scan a barcode

Point the camera at a packaged product and shotmeal fills in its calories and nutrients from Open Food Facts. Pick the serving, the whole pack or any amount. Free, no AI, no account.

Improved

Edit every nutrient

Protein, carbs, fat or sodium look off? Tap an item and correct any value by hand; the meal's totals follow.

Improved

Filter by meal

Tap Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snack on Today to see just those meals — tap again to see the whole day. A Liquids pill shows what you drank.

  • NewPrefer a tidy Today? Show water on the back of the calorie card and flip it with one tap.
  • NewOptional reminders to drink, only between the hours you choose — and never right after a glass.
  • NewSave the water you log to Apple Health or Health Connect, if you like.
  • NewA weekly liquids chart in Statistics.
  • ImprovedMeals and drinks added while you're looking at a past day go to that day, and one tap brings you back to today.

The whole picture.

Nutrients from every photo, your weight progress, and a diary for the whole household.

New

Track your progress

Log your weight by hand or sync it from Apple Health or Health Connect, so your smart scale's readings arrive on their own. A new Progress tab shows your trend, your real weekly rate next to the pace you chose, and when you'll reach an optional target.

New

More than calories

Every AI estimate now includes protein, carbs, sugar, fibre, fat, saturated fat and sodium. Track the ones you care about, with daily targets derived from your profile and cited EFSA and WHO reference values.

New

Your whole household

Track meals for up to five people from one phone — kids included. Tap a name on Today to switch diaries; the camera logs to whoever is selected.

New

Link with your partner

Invite with a QR code and see each other's diaries, photos and goals — never weight, height or age. Each of you decides whether the other may add meals.

Improved

Goals that remember

Changing your calorie goal no longer rewrites the past: every day is judged against the goal you had that day, in the charts, streaks and insights.

Improved

A new AI engine

Estimates come from a newer, more accurate model and arrive faster, with two backup models ready if it's ever unavailable.

  • NewCharts switch between calories and each nutrient you track.
  • NewTap any day in the month view to see its calories, nutrients and meals.
  • NewNutrient targets follow your weight and goal, with one tap back to the recommended values.
  • ImprovedToday, redesigned: the big number is what you've eaten, and meals are grouped by type.
  • ImprovedSwipe through every photo you've logged, not just one day's.
  • ImprovedMeal times are shown as ranges, so it's clear when breakfast ends and lunch begins.
  • FixedThe status bar stays readable in the full-screen photo viewer.

Improved

Honest estimates

If the AI can't be reached you get a clear message and can save the photo to estimate later — never a placeholder meal.

  • NewA badge under the ring shows what's left, or how far over you've gone.
