A day in Day Pal

From one photo to the whole picture.

Real screens from the app, in your language. This is how a day goes.

  1. Photo

    Snap the plate. Get the calories.

    Take a photo and the AI picks out each food on the plate, with calories and macros for every item. Adjust any portion before you add it.

    • Several foods from one photo
    • Calories, protein, carbs and fat per item
    • Nothing is logged until you tap Add

  2. Words or voice

    Or just say what you ate.

    Type a sentence like “Greek yogurt with granola and berries” and it becomes diary entries. Dictation runs on your phone where your language supports it.

    • Plain sentences, in 11 languages
    • Every item becomes its own entry you can edit
    • Rather skip the AI? Search the food database and log by hand

  3. Daily review

    Your day, reviewed.

    The AI looks back over what you ate and tells you what went well and what to change, with a health score for each food.

    • Insights and concrete suggestions
    • Food, exercise and what is left, side by side
    • A health score for every entry
    Daily review with insights, suggestions, progress and today’s entries

  4. Progress

    Watch the trend. Keep the streak.

    Log your weight and see the trend toward your goal by week, month or year. Every logged day adds to your streak, and meal reminders help you keep it.

    • Weight trend toward your goal
    • A streak for every day you log
    • Meal reminders at the times you pick
    Weight history chart trending down toward the goal weight
    A 29-day logging streak

Built for iPhone Duo

One app. Folded or open.

Folded, Day Pal is the phone app you know. Open your iPhone Duo and it spreads across the whole inner screen.

  1. Your log and your day, side by side

    Today’s log on one side; calories left, macros and water on the other.

  2. Panels open away from the fold

    A food, a search or your weight trend opens in a pane of its own, beside your day.

  3. Fold or unfold, you never lose your place

    Close it and the outer screen shows the same day. Open it again and carry on.

Your coach

Ask it anything. It knows your day.

The coach reads what you have logged today and answers from it: what to eat next, quick snack ideas, or a workout you can do now and log when you finish.

Coach

You ask

Suggest a high-protein dinner to hit my protein target

Ask what to eat next.

The coach reads the day you have logged and answers from it: how much protein is left, and dinner ideas that fit. Tap a suggestion to add it.

  • Answers based on your own diary
  • Meal ideas with calories and protein
  • Add a suggestion to today in one tap

Workouts

You ask

Suggest a 30-minute upper-body gym workout with a warm-up and a cool-down stretch

Ask for a workout. Log it when you’re done.

The coach builds a session from the exercise library, with an animated demo for every move, and reps or timed holds.

  • Warm-up, main sets and cool-down
  • An animated demo for every exercise
  • Reps or seconds, whichever the move needs

Done? Log it in one tap and it joins today’s diary.

How it works

Logging a meal in a few taps.

No menus, no scrolling endless food lists, no “is this an apple or a fuji?” ambiguity. Say it and move on.

Snap the plate

Open the camera, tap once. Our AI sees the plate, identifies every item, and estimates each portion from the photo.

Confirm in 2 taps

Edit anything that's off: portion sliders, swap items, add a missing one. Correct the same food twice and Day Pal remembers your adjustment for next time.

Track effortlessly

Macros, micros, weight, streaks: all in one place, and Today stays fast.

Ask the coach

It already knows what you have eaten today and what is left. Ask what to eat and it names real foods from the database. Tap one to log it.

Everything in one app

Built to actually be used.

Photo logging in Cal AI needs a subscription. In MyFitnessPal, Meal Scan and Voice Log are Premium. Day Pal lets you try both for free.

Photo scan

Multi-item detection, portion estimation, instant macros. From one photo.

Voice & text

Natural language understood. Speak it or type it. Done.

Coach

Ask what to eat. It answers with real foods you can log in one tap.

You

Your model, your goals, your data: all in one place, no settings maze.

Multilingual

11 languages from day one, Arabic included. USDA food data plus a curated dish catalogue, named in all 11.

Private by default

Photos are analysed, then dropped. Never stored on our servers. EXIF + GPS stripped. Your copy stays on your phone.

Frequently asked

Everything you want to know, in one place.

Accuracy

2 answers
How accurate is the AI photo scan?
It reads the plate, identifies each item and estimates portions. It will not be right every time. Treat it as a fast first draft you confirm, not a measurement. Portion corrections are the one thing it learns from: once you have corrected the same food twice, Day Pal applies your own median adjustment to later scans of it.
What if it gets a portion wrong?
Tap once to adjust the portion slider, swap an item, or add a missing one. We never silently log something you did not approve.

Is Day Pal free?
Yes. Searching 13,000+ foods, logging by hand and tracking water, weight and workouts are free and unlimited, forever. AI is there when you want it: each device gets 10 free AI actions (a photo scan, a voice or text log, or a coach question), given once, not every month. Day Pal Pro makes AI unlimited. No credit card, and no trial to forget to cancel. Fair use applies
How is this different from Cal AI?
Cal AI’s App Store page says its food scanning results need a subscription. We keep food search and manual logging free forever, give every device 10 free AI actions for photo, voice and plain-text logging, and the coach is a chat assistant that can see today’s diary. Ask it what to eat and it suggests foods you can log with one tap.
How is this different from MyFitnessPal?
MyFitnessPal has the bigger food database. Day Pal is built for speed: log by photo, voice, plain words or search, and ask a coach that can see your day. There are no ads in Day Pal today.

Privacy

3 answers
What happens to my photos?
They are sent to our vision provider, analysed, and discarded. The backend stores no image bytes at all: there is no photo bucket, on any plan. What we keep is a row with the hash, the result, and what the call cost. The photo itself stays on your phone.
Do you sell my data?
No. We never sell user data. Deleting your account is immediate: your row and everything joined to it go in the same request, your export files are removed from disk, and you get a receipt confirming it.
Where does my data live?
One PostgreSQL database, encrypted at rest, TLS in transit. Progress photos are the strongest case: they never reach us at all. The app sends a hash and a timestamp, and the image stays on your device.

Devices

1 answer
Does Day Pal work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, it is built for it. Open your iPhone Duo and Day Pal uses the whole inner screen: today’s log on one side, your day on the other. Panels open away from the fold, and when you fold it shut, the outer screen keeps your place.
