NEW Verified sources, not vibes

Point at your plate.
Get the real number.

Numero reads a photo, asks what the camera can't see, and shows you exactly where every calorie came from — brand databases, USDA entries, or an honest estimate, labelled as such.

HOW IT WORKS

Three taps, and the day is honest again.

Shoot the plate

One shutter, no menus. Numero separates the plate into items before you've put the phone down.

Say what it can't see

"Cooked in butter." "I left half." Hold to speak and the numbers move while you talk.

Read, or just log it

Open every source line if you want the receipts. Or hit "Log it & go" and get on with lunch.

THE READ

Every number shows
its working.

Solid means verified against a real database entry. Hatched means we estimated it — and we tell you what from. No app has ever been this specific about what it doesn't know.

WHY I BUILT IT

I gave up on food logging four times before I wrote this one.

Every app I tried wanted me to become a data entry clerk. Search, scroll, pick the wrong entry, guess the serving, repeat. By day nine I was logging "chicken and rice" as a placeholder for a meal I couldn't be bothered to describe, and the number at the bottom of the screen was fiction.

What I wanted was simple: take a photo, tell it the one thing it couldn't see, and get a number I could argue with. If it guessed, say so. If it looked something up, show me where. Nobody was building that, so I did — nights and weekends for a year, mostly at a kitchen table, mostly photographing my own dinner.

Numero is the app I stayed with. Two hundred and eleven days and counting.
