AI Food Scanner, Macro Counter
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Snap your meal and get calories, macros and Sugar & UPF stars in seconds. Acorn the squirrel cheers you on as your weeks get cleaner.
Acorn: Calorie & Sugar Tracker
Track calories, macros, sugar and ultra-processed food (UPF) from a single photo. Acorn turns every meal into a clear picture of what you actually ate, and a friendly squirrel keeps you going.
What makes Acorn different
Most calorie counters stop at calories. Acorn also rates every meal for added sugar and ultra-processed ingredients with a simple five-star score, so you can see at a glance whether your day was clean or not.
How it works
1. Snap a photo
Point your camera at your plate, a nutrition label or a recipe. You can also type what you ate or scan a barcode.
2. AI does the counting
Acorn estimates calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber, then gives the meal a Sugar star rating and a UPF star rating.
3. See your day at a glance
Calories left, macro bars and today's stars live on one home screen. Tap a meal to adjust the portion or fix anything.
4. Watch your weeks get cleaner
Log your weight, follow the trend line toward your target and compare daily averages for calories, protein, sugar and more.
