African-first food library

140+ foods built in — ugali, jollof, injera, matoke, pilau, githeri, chapati, suya — plus a global product search.

Protein, carbs, fat and fibre per meal, plus sodium, sugars, iron, calcium and more on a familiar nutrition label.

Private & free

04 / Built for how Africa eats

The dishes you actually eat — already counted.

Most trackers make you force a plate of ugali and sukuma into "cornmeal" and "collard greens". FoodLog speaks your food.

Stop guessing. Start scanning.

Weighing every ingredient is exhausting — so most people quit. FoodLog's camera scanner reads the whole plate at once and gives you a confident, editable estimate you can log in seconds.

  • Recognises mixed plates and multiple dishes at once
  • Estimates realistic portion sizes from the photo
  • Tuned for African home cooking & street food
  • Always editable — you stay in control of your log

08 / Questions

Everything you might ask.

Is FoodLog free?

Yes. FoodLog is free to use. Sign in with Google and your log syncs securely to your account across devices.

How does the food scanner work?

You take or upload a photo of your meal. Our AI identifies each food, estimates the portion and returns calories and macros. You can edit or remove anything before it's logged.

Does it really know African foods?

Yes — that's the whole point. The scanner and the built-in library are tuned for East, West and Southern African dishes like ugali, jollof, injera, matoke, pilau, githeri, suya and many more.

How accurate are the estimates?

Photo estimates are a fast, honest starting point, not a lab measurement. Every scanned item is fully editable, and you can fine-tune servings or swap in exact foods anytime.

Is my data private?

Your food data is yours. It's stored on your device and synced to your account — never sold, and there are no ads.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes, there's a native Android app. Download the APK and log on the go — the website works great on mobile too.
