NextMeal is a private nutrition companion for meals and individual grocery foods. Capture a photo or describe what you are eating by typing or supported on-device dictation, review and correct the estimate, then save only the calories, macros, and details you choose. Recognition, transcription, and every nutrition value can be completely wrong.
Available in the current build
Photo, typed, and supported dictated entry; editable estimates, goals, insights, and a private diary.

The current product
One clear flow, with review built in.
These are current captures from the shipping UI—not concepts. The camera preview uses a local demo meal so you can see how to frame a scan; it does not represent a pre-completed recognition. The app also explains camera access before the system prompt, checks mixed meals component by component, makes detected items and every estimate editable, stores reviewed meals locally, and turns saved entries into simple goal progress and seven-day patterns.
Ready today
A functional first release on a clean foundation.
The shared Swift app includes photo, typed, and supported dictated meal entry; component-first mixed-meal and grocery recognition; editable nutrition review; a local diary; personal goals; seven-day insights; a dedicated local NextCoach integration flow; settings and legal controls; complete localization; and synchronized release tooling.
Editable Components
Review detected foods, serving, calories, macros, fiber, sugar, and sodium before saving.
Native Models
Apple Vision checks the whole frame and bounded regions; Gemini Nano uses a component-first prompt on Android.
Private by Default
No account, cloud meal analysis or transcription, ad network, analytics SDK, or saved meal photo or audio.
Goals and Patterns
Compare locally saved estimates with editable daily targets and seven-day logged trends.
User Control
Type instead of granting camera or microphone access, review every value, or delete all local data in Settings.
Local NextCoach Sharing
A dedicated screen manages app availability and shares only daily calorie and macro totals plus targets.

A deliberate constraint
Read the privacy policy
Your meal should not become someone else’s dataset.
NextMeal processes meal images, typed descriptions, supported dictation, and nutrition reasoning on the device. Optional NextCoach sharing is local and limited to daily calorie and macro totals plus targets. There is no cloud analysis or transcription fallback hiding behind a button.
