About Cado

Cado is an iPhone app that tracks calories and macronutrients from photos. You point the camera at a meal, snack or ingredient, the AI identifies what is on the plate and estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat, and you confirm the result to log it with a tap.

Portions and ingredients can be adjusted or corrected after a scan, so the AI result acts as a starting point. Daily totals and macro targets are shown in one place, a one-tap meal memory saves frequent meals, and Apple Health sync lets workouts adjust the targets. The developer positions it as an alternative to searching food databases or typing entries by hand.

Cado is a proprietary app from the developer Aditi Somani, listed in Health & Fitness and free to download with in-app purchases. It suits people tracking intake for weight or fitness goals who find manual logging tedious.
