iPhone

Estimate carbs, bread units and glycemic index from a meal photo. Adjust portions and save your meal, with Apple Health support. Soba turns a photo of your meal into the numbers that matter for managing blood sugar: net carbs, bread units (XE), glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). Point your camera at a plate or just describe the meal in words, or scan a barcode. And Soba estimates the carbohydrates and glycemic impact in seconds. WHAT YOU GET • Net carbs and bread units (XE) for the whole plate and every item • Carb-weighted glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL), color-coded • Protein, fat, fiber and calories • Adjust any portion size and watch every number update instantly THREE WAYS TO LOG • Photo - snap your plate and let Soba do the rest • Describe - type "a bowl of buckwheat with chicken" • Barcode - scan packaged food, powered by Open Food Facts BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE • History of every meal, available offline • Apple Health: save meals and see your glucose around each one • Choose your bread unit size (10, 11 or 12 g of carbs) • Clean, fast, no clutter, no account required Soba is made for people who count carbs - who want a faster answer than looking everything up by hand. IMPORTANT Soba is not a medical device. All values are estimates and can be inaccurate. Always double-check before making decisions about your health. Free recognitions every month, with an optional subscription for unlimited scans. Barcode lookup and manual logging are always free. Soba Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited AI food scans (fair use: up to 30 photo scans per day). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Soba is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it does not calculate or suggest insulin doses. All values are estimates — always check against product labels and your diabetes care plan. AI recognition (photo and text) requires Soba Pro. Barcodes, manual entry, meal history, day statistics and Apple Health sync are free.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

A smoother camera experience with clearer guidance: • Smoother highlighting and tracking of objects in the viewfinder. • On-screen tips help you improve lighting and frame your meal. • A gentle warning appears when the camera thinks an object may not be food. You can still take a photo. • Better feedback when you tap the shutter and while your photo is being prepared. • Improved portion-size estimation using camera depth data on supported devices. We also fixed visual artifacts in the onboarding animation.
