KaloCam is made by a small team, and we read what you send us. Here are the questions we get, answered plainly: what you can use today, what's in testing, what's planned and what we're not doing yet.

Asked often marks questions we wrote ourselves because people ask them a lot. From a user marks a question someone actually sent us. We never publish names.
Asked often
Can KaloCam open straight to the camera? Most of the time I just want to snap my plate.
The KaloCam teamIn testing
Yes, that's exactly where we're heading. In the version we're testing now, KaloCam opens on the camera: tap the shutter and you're done. Your calories left for today sit at the top, and Home is one tap away when you want the full picture.
Asked often
I eat the same breakfast most days. Do I have to take a photo every time?
The KaloCam teamIn testing
Not for long. We're testing a Recent tab in the camera that lists the meals you often have, so you can log one again in a tap without a new photo.
Asked often
Sometimes I can't take a photo, like at a work lunch. Can I log a meal another way?
The KaloCam teamIn testing
Voice logging is available for Pro members today. We're also testing a Describe mode right in the camera: type something like "2 eggs, toast and a black coffee", or tap the mic and say it.
Asked often
How accurate are the calories from a photo?
The KaloCam teamAvailable now
Honest answer: a photo can't show everything. Cooking oil, sauces and exact portions are hard to see, so treat every result as an estimate. That's why you can check each dish, change portions and edit before anything is saved. You always have the final say.
Asked often
I'm on a GLP-1 medication. Can KaloCam help me keep track?
The KaloCam teamIn testing
We're testing a GLP-1 section where you can log your doses next to your meals. It's for keeping your own record. It isn't medical advice, and your doctor's guidance always comes first.
Asked often
Can the AI Coach plan my meals for the week?
The KaloCam teamPlanned
We're designing it now: a weekly plan you can edit, with easy swaps when you don't feel like something. It isn't in the app yet, and we'll update this answer when it's ready to try.
Asked often
Is there an Android version?
The KaloCam teamNot right now
Not right now. We're a small team and we'd rather make the iPhone app really good first. If Android changes, this is where you'll hear it.
