AI Joy Labs · Experiment 03

The calorie scanner that knows your food.

Most AI calorie apps were trained on burgers and salads. FoodLens is built for the food you actually eat — 滷肉飯, ramen, hotpot, dim sum, home cooking, and every hand-shaken drink on the menu. Snap it, and the numbers are finally right.

FoodLens concept — scanning a night-market meal and getting calories

Concept preview · not final UI

What it does

Photo in, honest numbers out — for the cuisines other apps guess at.

Night-market native

Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian dishes recognized properly — mixed plates, shared dishes and street food included.

Boba, decoded

Hand-shaken drinks with sugar level and ice level — half-sugar oolong milk tea is not a mystery anymore.

Portions by hand

Bowls, plates and hand sizes instead of grams — because nobody weighs 滷肉飯 at a night market.

中文 / English

Log and search in the language you think in. Dish names stay in their real names.

How it works

Snap the meal

One photo, even of a shared table. No database search, no barcode hunt.

Confirm in one tap

FoodLens names the dishes and portions; you correct anything it got wrong — it learns your plates.

See your rhythm

Calories, macros and a gentle daily rhythm. Awareness, not guilt.

Questions

How accurate is photo calorie counting?

Vision AI identifies dishes and estimates portions well — but most scanners are weakest exactly where Asian food lives: mixed plates, shared dishes, soups and drinks. That's the part FoodLens is built around, and one-tap corrections keep making your own scans sharper.

How is this different from Cal AI and the other scanners?

They're strong on Western menus and we're glad they exist. FoodLens goes where they don't: the long tail of Asian cuisine, bilingual logging, sugar and ice levels for drinks, and portion sizes that match how this food is actually served.

Is it free?

The early list is free, daily free scans are planned at launch, and Pro unlocks unlimited scans and trends. Early members keep founder pricing for life.

Will it nag me?

No streak-shaming, no red warnings over one bowl of noodles. FoodLens is designed around awareness and rhythm — the way sustainable tracking actually works.

Track 滷肉飯 as easily as a salad.
