MenuMeld: AI Meal Journaling - Not just a calories tracker

Calvin here, developer of MenuMeld - Next Generation AI Meal Journaling. Think calories tracker, but also suggest you meal according to your health condition and assist you to plan ahead. Deep integration with Apple’s Eco System (Apple Intelligence, Siri, Control Center, Home Screen Widgets). Why I built MenuMeld People now care more about health. Many people use calories tracker to track their meals. But calories tracker only tracks your meal after you ate it. I hope there is a tool that knows what I ate to help me plan my meal ahead so that I can have a balance diet for the whole weeks. What MenuMeld helps you? 📋 Smart Daily Meal Planning Plan your meals across 6 customizable time slots — Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Tea, Dinner, and Late Night Snack. Navigate between days effortlessly, mark your day type (Working Day, Holiday, Traveling), and track how full you felt after each meal. Set up recurring meals for specific days of the week so your routine meals auto-populate every day. 🤖 AI-Powered Meal Suggestions (Gemini) Tell MenuMeld about your health conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, etc.), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution, taste preferences, and location — and AI will suggest a meal tailored to you, backed by real-time Google Search grounding with cited sources. It even considers your past 5 days of meals to avoid repetition. 📸 AI Photo Meal Detection Snap a photo of your food and AI instantly identifies the dish, estimates calories, macros (protein, fat, carbs), and fills in all ingredient and nutrition data automatically. No manual input needed. 🍽️ Restaurant Menu Scanner Dining out?
