Calorielens

Calorielens is an iPhone app from STRICS IT GmbH for counting calories by photo. Instead of typing in each meal, the user takes a picture of the food and the app's AI analyses it and returns an approximate calorie figure. It is aimed at people who want to keep an eye on their nutrition goals without manual logging, and it is listed in the Health and Fitness category with a 16+ age rating.

Each meal is recorded in a history so calorie intake can be followed over time. The current version adds a redesigned camera that shows remaining calories and macros at a glance, faster scans through smaller photo uploads and a quicker start, a check of the whole photo before a meal is saved, a weekly chart with daily coach tips in the history, scanning of photos from the media library, and layouts that adapt to each screen size.

Calorielens is free to download with in-app purchases for Calorielens PRO at 5,99 € and 49,99 €; buying the Pro plan accepts Apple's standard EULA. The app requires iOS 26.0 or later and also runs on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip on macOS 26.0 and on Apple Vision with visionOS 26.0. It is available in German and 9 other languages including English, French, Spanish and Japanese, and the developer collects no data from the app.
