Log an unfamiliar meal without typing it all from scratch.
A meal you did not cook can leave you guessing what to enter. Start with a photo in Haps, then check the suggested foods, portions and calories. The result is an estimate you can correct before it joins your log.
iOS is coming soon. There is no public iOS release date yet.

Start with the meal you have
Typing a meal into separate food searches can be tedious when you did not choose the ingredients or measure the portions. A photo gives Haps a starting point for identifying the foods and estimating their amounts and calories. It does not establish what is hidden inside the meal.
Take a photo of the food you want to log. Haps prepares an estimate for review rather than saving an unquestioned result. A meal with an uncertain portion or hidden ingredients still needs your judgement; a more detailed number does not make that uncertainty disappear.
Meal scanning is available in the Android app. This website explains the workflow; it does not analyse a meal photo or maintain a food log in your browser.
Correct the result before it becomes your entry
Recognition can get an item wrong, and a plausible food name can still have the wrong amount. Review the foods and portions first. You can edit foods, quantities and calorie values directly before saving, instead of accepting a result that does not fit what you ate.
Check the estimate against what you know about the meal. A packet label or a portion you measured can provide information the photo cannot. If you do not know the ingredients or amount, the calorie value remains uncertain after you have reviewed it.
Once you save, the reviewed foods join your daily log. Haps shows calories logged, remaining or over the target you confirm.
Use the label or a recent food when that is easier
A photo of a plate and a printed nutrition label answer different questions. For packaged food, barcode lookup or label scanning can give you a starting value tied to that product. Check the match and serving rather than treating every package as an unfamiliar meal.
For a food you have logged before, reuse a recent entry in two taps and check the portion. If you already know the calories for your portion, you can enter the food and value manually. You do not have to photograph every meal.
Know what needs a connection
AI meal analysis processes photos online and needs an internet connection. If you have poor signal, use manual entry or a recent food to keep logging offline. Those entries synchronise with Haps after a connection returns; this is not offline photo analysis.
The data overview and privacy policy explain photo processing, providers, retention and your choices. All current features are free on Android, including meal scanning. Future Haps Club prices and paid access details have not been announced; iOS is coming soon.
Haps is a calorie ledger, not medical or nutrition advice. It records the values and target you enter; it does not decide what is suitable for you.
