About CaptainCal: AI Calorie Tracker
Track calories with just a photo. CaptainCal uses AI to recognise your meal, estimate the portion, and log calories, protein, carbs and fat in seconds. No searching, no weighing, no guesswork. Finally, a calorie tracker that knows your food. Machboos, mandi, harees, saloona, balaleet, luqaimat, karak. Western apps have never heard of them. CaptainCal was built in the Gulf, for the Gulf, with a curated database of Khaleeji and regional dishes and realistic local portion sizes. HOW IT WORKS 1. Answer a few quick questions and get a personal daily calorie and macro plan. 2. Snap a photo of any meal. The AI identifies each item on the plate, even mixed platters. 3. Review, adjust if needed, done. Photo to logged meal in under 10 seconds. WHY CAPTAINCAL - AI photo scanning: point your camera at any plate and get calories, protein, carbs and fat instantly - Gulf food database: hundreds of curated Khaleeji and regional dishes, plus popular local chains and delivery favourites - Arabic-first: full Arabic interface with proper RTL, not a translated afterthought. Switch between Arabic and English anytime - Ramadan mode: your day restructures around suhoor and iftar, targets adjust for fasting, and streaks respect fasting days instead of breaking them - Barcode scanner for packaged products, including common GCC brands - Fast manual search in Arabic or English, with favourites and recent meals for one-tap logging - Progress dashboard: daily calorie ring, macro bars, weight trend and weekly summaries WHO IT IS FOR Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle or just understand what you eat, CaptainCal gives you a plan and makes sticking to it effortless. If you have ever quit MyFitnessPal-style manual logging out of boredom, this is the tracker you will actually keep using. NOTE CaptainCal provides estimates for informational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical or dietary advice. Food scanning requires a subscription.
