MealCatch
Snap it. Done.
Sorted by meal
MealCatch (メシロク in Japanese) is an iPhone food photo log that saves what you eat with a single photo.
Press the shutter and you're done. It goes into that day's breakfast, lunch, or dinner by the time you took it. Later, one look at the photos tells you what you ate.
- iPhone (iOS 26 or later)

“Your calories today!” Who asked?
“Go exercise!” Give it a rest.
“No meals logged!” And?
“Your nutrient balance…” I can see my plate.
Sound like you? Just snap.
Who it's for
- People who want to remember what they ate, but never kept up with counting calories or nutrients
- People tired of apps that nag with reminders and numbers when they forget to log
- People who'd rather pay once than subscribe
- People who don't want meal photos mixed in with the rest of their Photos library
It's not for you if you want to log calories, nutrients or weight. MealCatch doesn't count anything.

FAQ
I see meals I didn't eat when I first open MealCatch.
Those are samples to show how MealCatch works. Take your first photo or add your first text note, and the samples go away. Your meals begin.
Does MealCatch count calories or nutrition?
No. It doesn't recognize food in photos, and it doesn't show calories, nutrition or scores. No charts and no streaks either.
Is it a subscription?
No. It's a paid app: one purchase gets you every feature. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads.
I can't find a photo I took from the Lock Screen.
Photos you take while your iPhone is locked appear on Home the next time you open MealCatch.
Something I ate after midnight went into the previous day's dinner.
Photos taken before breakfast starts (4:00 at first) go into the previous day's dinner. If you work nights or keep different hours, change the start times in Settings → Meal Times.
Do my photos go into the Photos app?
No. MealCatch keeps them inside the app. To save one to Photos, open the photo and use the Share button.
Does it work on Android or iPad?
No. MealCatch is for iPhone only (iOS 26 or later).
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone. MealCatch doesn't send your photos or meals anywhere. Like any other app, it's included in your iPhone backup.
