About Plated: Meal Photo Diary
Plated is a quiet, beautiful place to remember every meal. Snap a photo, jot a note, and tag the dishes and places you love — Plated turns everyday eating into a diary worth looking back on. No feed, no followers, no noise. Just your food, your way. FEATURES • Photo-first logging — add meals from your camera or library in seconds • Food Style — turn a meal photo into a styled food print, ready to save, share, or keep in your diary • Plates — every meal you keep is lifted off its photo onto today's plate, for friends to see until tomorrow night and stamp • Calorie estimates — tap once and Plated reads the photo to estimate the calories, or type your own number • Daily reminder — one gentle nudge at the time you choose, and none on days you've already logged • Photo or words — add meals from your camera or library in seconds, or just write what you ate • Tags & places — build your own palette of dishes, restaurants, and moments • Search — find meals by any mix of words, like "yakitori & Tokyo" • Calendar — see your month at a glance with photo day-covers • Collages — arrange meals into Grid, Polaroid, Film, and Washi-tape layouts (up to 6 photos) and save them to share • Monthly recaps — your month as a printed page, on cream, linen or ink paper • Home-screen widgets — your latest meals, and your week or month in calories • Import past meals — choose photos from your library and Plated uses each photo's time to sort it into the right day and meal • Traditional Chinese & English YOUR PLATE, RESTYLED Pick a meal photo, choose a look, answer a question or two, and Food Style turns it into a print worth keeping. Save it, share it, or add it straight to your diary. To create a style, that photo is sent to an AI service; nothing else leaves your phone. CALORIES, WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEET Add a photo, tap Estimate calories, and you get a number you can keep, edit, or replace by hand. Set your daily burn and every day tells you where it landed — over, under, or right on it. To estimate, a small copy of that photo leaves your phone for an AI service that reads it; nothing else does, and the whole feature is optional. YOUR DAY, ON ONE PLATE Every meal you keep is lifted off its photo and set on today's plate. Pick your plate, arrange your dishes, and share it with friends. They can see it until tomorrow night and leave a stamp, and then it clears for a new day. Your own diary keeps every meal. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your diary lives on your device.

What’s new
Version 1.4.1 · Updated October 14, 2026
Your day, on one plate. Every meal you keep is lifted off its photo and set on today's plate. Pick your plate, arrange your dishes, and friends can see it until tomorrow night and leave a stamp. No photo? Just write it. Forgot to take a picture? Tap +, switch to Words and write what you ate. It shows on your calendar as an emoji, and you can tap it to pick your own. A cleaner meal form. Write a caption and add #tags and @places as you type. Everything else sits in one toolbar at the bottom. Tables are making way for Plates. Tables close on 30 November. Until then you'll find them at the top of your calendar, beside Search.
