Point
Photograph the plate.
A model reads the picture and answers with a name, calories and macros. About five seconds, and no weighing, no searching, no scrolling a database of forty thousand yoghurts.

Photograph the plate. Get the numbers.
Counting calories fails on the tenth day, when looking up a bowl of soup takes longer than eating it. Kcal reads the meal from a photograph — name, calories, protein, carbs, fat — in about five seconds, and lets you argue with the answer in a sentence.

Kcal
A food diary for people who stopped keeping one. It reads a plate, a label or a barcode, listens if you would rather say it out loud, and keeps the day in step across your devices. English, Polish and Russian, each written rather than machine-translated.

Correct
Say what it got wrong.
“It was half that” or “there was no oil”. The reading is recalculated from your sentence instead of making you edit six numbers by hand.
Keep
The diary follows you.
Sign in and the same day appears on every device. Or do not, and everything stays on the phone. Both are supported; neither is nagged about.
Estimates
It is a guide to a trend, not a measurement.
A model looking at a photograph cannot know what is under the sauce or how much oil went into the pan. Kcal shows how sure it is and lets you correct it in a sentence, because a number you cannot argue with is worse than one you can.
Photographs
Yours, and they stay on your phone.
The picture is sent to be read and is gone the moment the answer comes back. It is never stored by us and never syncs between devices. Only the numbers travel.
Free and paid
The diary is free. The reading is what you pay for.
Typing a meal, scanning a barcode, weight, history, targets and sync cost nothing and always will. Kcal Pro pays for the readings, because those are the part that costs something to provide. Three are free, so the paywall arrives after you have seen it work rather than before.
