About HedgePal
Hedgepal combines calorie counting with an AI food scanner. You snap a photo of a meal and it returns calories, protein, carbs and fat, with meal history and goal progress, and a mascot called Pal presents the nutrition breakdown.
Other features include a food database of over a million items searchable by name, brand or barcode, custom foods and recipes, a target weight that adjusts your daily calorie budget, macro and calorie goals with charts, streaks and reminders, water and exercise logging, personalized AI suggestions and integrations with fitness products.
It is free to start on iOS and describes itself as private by design. The page includes user testimonials, an FAQ, a blog and free tools, and it is aimed at people who want to track nutrition without manual calorie math.
