Photograph the plate
Point the camera at a meal and get a named dish with calories and macros back. Every figure is editable before you save it, and an estimate is labelled as an estimate.

Logging food shouldn’t feel like data entry.
Photograph what you’re eating and SquadBite works out the macros. Import any recipe from a link. Plan the week, get the grocery list, and keep a small group of people honest about it.

What it does
Six ways to get a meal into the log
Most days you want the fastest one. SquadBite keeps all of them a tap apart instead of burying five behind the one it prefers.
Scan a barcode
Point at the UPC and the packet comes back with its own published figures, then you pick the portion. No AI in this path at all, so it costs nothing and counts against nothing.
Read the label
For the things no database has — a deli tub, a foreign import, last night’s takeaway. Photograph the nutrition panel and it is transcribed per serving.
Search the database
Type it and pick it. Brands and basic foods are filtered apart, so “chicken breast” gives you the ingredient rather than nine supermarket ready meals. Free and unmetered.
Log a recipe you cooked
Anything in your cookbook logs in two taps, and you say how many servings you actually ate rather than pretending it was one.
Scan the menu
Photograph a restaurant menu and get an estimate for every dish, sorted by how confident the estimate is rather than by whichever number looks lowest. Log the one you ordered.
Around the log
The other half of eating well
Logging is the part everybody talks about. Deciding what to eat, and not doing it alone, is the part that decides whether you keep going.
Plan the week
Drop recipes into breakfast, lunch and dinner across the week, then roll the whole thing into a grocery list sorted by aisle. Planning and groceries are free, permanently — they are not a trial of anything.
Import any recipe
Paste a link and SquadBite pulls out the ingredients, the steps and the nutrition. Cook times split into hands-on and total, so an overnight marinade doesn’t read as work.
Share straight in
A reel, a TikTok, a blog post, a photo of a menu — send it from the iOS share sheet and SquadBite opens on the import screen with it already loaded.
Cook from what you have
Photograph the fridge or the shelf, confirm what SquadBite found, and get a recipe built from it — optionally sized to whatever is left of today’s targets. Premium.
Squads
Share the fact you hit your protein, not the number. Squads pass along wins, streaks and shared goals — never your raw macros or your weight. Some goals, like water, are counted from your own log so nobody can talk them up.
Adaptive targets
After a few weeks of logging, SquadBite measures what your body actually does with the food and suggests a corrected target. It refuses to guess when it doesn’t have enough data, and it will not offer a cut to someone who shouldn’t take one. Premium.
Water, weight and supplements
The rest of the day, in the same place as the food. Supplements carry their own macros, remind you on a schedule, and say plainly when something was counted rather than confirmed.
Apple Health, both ways
Weight comes in, what you log goes out. If you already keep weight somewhere else, SquadBite reads it rather than asking you to type it twice.
Pricing
Free is a real tier, not a trial
Logging, planning and the grocery list never expire and never ask for a card. Premium raises the limits on the parts that cost money to run.

Limits exist because each scan and import runs a real AI request that costs real money. The daily allowance is one shared budget — a photo, a nutrition label, a menu, a shelf of the fridge and a recipe’s nutrition all draw on the same number, because one allowance per feature is impossible to keep track of. Barcodes and food search are database lookups, cost nothing, and count against nothing. The limits are set well above normal use: they are there to stop abuse, not to nudge you into paying. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and can be cancelled any time in Settings.
Why this exists
“Every tracker I tried made me choose between an honest log and a fast one. So I built the one that doesn’t.”
