Scan meals, track macros · iOS + Android

Scan food.
Stay in control.

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.

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.

01

Photo, Type, or Dictate

Scan a meal or grocery food, or describe foods and quantities when a photo is not possible.

02

Editable Components

Review detected foods, serving, calories, macros, fiber, sugar, and sodium before saving.

03

Native Models

Apple Vision checks the whole frame and bounded regions; Gemini Nano uses a component-first prompt on Android.

04

Private by Default

No account, cloud meal analysis or transcription, ad network, analytics SDK, or saved meal photo or audio.

05

Goals and Patterns

Compare locally saved estimates with editable daily targets and seven-day logged trends.

06

User Control

Type instead of granting camera or microphone access, review every value, or delete all local data in Settings.

07

Local NextCoach Sharing

A dedicated screen manages app availability and shares only daily calorie and macro totals plus targets.

Product roadmap

From first frame to long-term insight.

Each milestone stays useful without forcing a remote account or cloud inference path.

  1. 01
    Capture, describe, and review · available

    Native camera preview, component-first mixed-meal analysis, typed and supported dictated descriptions, editable results, and explicit local save.

  2. 02
    Goals and trends · available

    Personal calorie and macro targets, a private diary, and seven-day logged trends.

  3. 03
    Local NextCoach sharing · available

    The integration flow opens NextCoach when installed, offers its store page when absent, and retains the minimized local snapshot and manual export.

  4. 04
    Guidance and health · next

    Smart swaps, recipes, deficiency indicators, and permission-based health-platform integration remain future work.

A deliberate constraint

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.
