Built around the habit
Logging should take less energy than remembering.
CalNotes starts where most food trackers add friction: the moment you know what you ate but do not want to build a recipe or search a database.
Add context when it matters
Mention the portion, restaurant, ingredients, or preparation when you know them. Adjust the result when you know better.
Keep moving
Use voice or a photo when typing is inconvenient, then return to a simple list of what you ate.

Before you download
Fair questions. Straight answers.
Is CalNotes a calorie counter or a food diary?
CalNotes is both: it gives you a quick notes-style food diary and turns the entries you submit into calorie and macro estimates.
Can I log food with a photo?
Yes. CalNotes Premium includes photo food scanning for meals where typing every ingredient would slow you down.
Can I log food by voice?
Yes. Voice input is available for Premium users who want to dictate a meal while cooking, walking, or sitting down to eat.
Does CalNotes require an account?
No account is required to start tracking. Your core food diary is stored locally on your device.
Are AI calorie estimates exact?
No calorie tracker can know every portion or ingredient perfectly. CalNotes is designed for fast estimates that you can adjust when you have better context.
Is CalNotes medical advice?
No. CalNotes is a personal tracking tool, not medical or nutrition advice. Talk with a qualified clinician for medical diet decisions.
Try it with the next thing you eat.
One note is enough to know whether CalNotes feels easier.
