macalo - Snap your meal, collect cute sweets while tracking calories

Most calorie trackers feel like homework. macalo makes it a daily delight. Take a photo of what you eat — AI estimates the calories in seconds. Then turn those numbers into cute virtual sweets you collect like a dessert shop. Cookies, macarons, parfaits — each one earned from a real meal you logged. What was once a chore becomes something you actually want to open every day. Perfect for anyone who wants to stay mindful about eating, without the guilt-trip vibes.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Raizo, a solo iOS developer from Japan, and I built macalo because every calorie tracker I tried felt like a chore I'd quit within a week. macalo turns it into a cozy daily ritual: 📸 Snap your meal → AI estimates calories (Gemini Vision) 🧁 Those calories become currency for cute virtual sweets you collect 🎁 Cookies, macarons, parfaits — each one earned from a real meal Why I made this: I kept wondering — what if "tracking calories" felt less like guilt and more like opening a small gift every day? That's macalo. One small favor 🙏 English is my second language, so some wording inside the app might feel a bit off to native speakers. If you spot anything awkward or unnatural while using it, I'd really love to hear about it — a screenshot or a quick note would mean the world. I'll be hanging out here all day answering questions. Any feedback is gold! — Raizo Kawaguchi
