A food diary you actually keep, from one photo
Most food diaries die after a week because typing every meal is tedious. Mello lets you snap a photo instead, so the log fills itself in and your day stays complete.
Photograph the meal, skip the typing
Open Mello, point the camera at your plate, and you have an entry. The AI reads what is on the plate and writes down the food and a calorie estimate for you. No searching a database, no scrolling through brand names that never match what you actually ate. That single step is the difference between a diary you keep and one you abandon by Thursday.
Your whole day in one timeline
Every photo lands on your Today screen in order, breakfast through your last snack. You can see what you ate and roughly when, which makes patterns obvious. Heavy lunches, late dinners, the snack you forgot you had. The timeline is the part people come back for, because it turns a pile of meals into something you can actually read.
Honest estimates, easy to correct
A photo cannot weigh your food, so the numbers are estimates, not lab results. We are upfront about that. When something looks off, you tap the entry and adjust the portion or swap the food in two taps. The point is a diary that is close enough to be useful and quick enough that you keep using it, not a false sense of precision.
Built for GLP-1 eating too
If you are on a GLP-1 medication, your portions are often small and your appetite changes day to day. A photo diary handles that better than fixed serving sizes, because Mello estimates the actual amount in front of you and you adjust from there. Looking back over the week also helps you notice whether you are eating enough protein on the days you barely feel hungry.
Questions and answers
Do I have to log everything manually?
No. The whole idea is that you take a photo and Mello fills in the food and calories. You only step in to fix a portion or add something the camera missed.
How accurate are the calorie numbers?
They are estimates based on what the photo shows, so treat them as a close guide rather than an exact count. You can adjust any entry if the portion looks too big or small.
What does it cost?
Mello is 19.99 USD per month or 99.99 USD per year, with a 3-day free trial so you can see if the photo diary fits your routine before paying.
