Journable

People trying to manage their weight or fitness goals need to track calories, macros, and exercise, but traditional calorie counting apps rely on searching food databases and manual entry, which users describe as unintuitive and cumbersome. Logging meals out, dishes with many ingredients, or homemade and international foods can be tedious or inaccurate with these conventional tools. This friction makes it harder for people to stay consistent with tracking, which undermines their ability to reach calorie deficit, muscle gain, or macro goals.

Journable lets users track diet and exercise by simply chatting as if sending a text message describing what they ate, and its AI instantly analyzes the message to estimate nutrition and exercise data without requiring database lookups. It also offers photo-based calorie tracking, where a user can snap a photo of a meal and the AI estimates portion size, macros, and calorie count. The app includes personalized goal setting, an automatic macro tracker for protein, carbs, and fat, and real-time views of calorie intake and burn throughout the day. Its AI is described as understanding a wide variety of foods, from homemade meals to restaurant and international dishes.
