Use the AI you already have (ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude) to snap a photo, type the dish name, and estimate nutrition — then paste into BudgetCal to log. Solves two problems: 1. Home cooking, takeout, and local food have no barcodes or labels — hard to track 2. AI calorie apps require subscriptions — but free AI already works great It works with your existing AI: AI estimates, BudgetCal logs. Demo: https://youtube.com/shorts/DGe3fDe48T8 Thanks!

Hi, I'm Lucas, an indie iOS developer from Taiwan. My previous app "Focus Tomato" was featured as App of the Day by Apple.
I built BudgetCal because I cook at home a lot and wanted to track calories — but no barcodes, no labels, hard to log.
I looked at AI calorie apps, but they all require subscriptions. I already pay for ChatGPT and Claude — I didn't want another subscription just to estimate calories.
Then I thought: why not just use the AI I already subscribe to?
So I built this simple logging tool. Use your existing AI subscription to estimate nutrition, paste it back, done. No subscription, no extra cost.
Hope it helps others with the same problem!
