Features

Every feature,
on your terms.

Search, scan, macros, micros, water, weight, body measurements, exercise, steps, AI review, themes and app icons. The basics are free. Pro adds the expensive-to-run tools, and you don't need it.

Feature 01 · Food search

A database that actually knows European brands.

Most calorie apps were built in the US. They know what Trader Joe's is and have never heard of Carrefour or Bonduelle. Meelo's database is from PantraLabs. It's the same one that powers some of Europe's biggest grocery apps. Skyr, knäckebröd, AOC cheeses, the lot.

  • Smart search ranks foods you've eaten before
  • Generic items (rice, banana) and supermarket brands (Carrefour, Aldi, Mercadona, REWE, Coop)
  • Restaurant chains and prepared foods, with full nutrition breakdowns
  • Add custom foods if something's missing. They sync to your other devices
Feature 02 · Barcode

Barcode scanning that just works.

Point your camera at the back of a yogurt pot. Meelo recognises EU products instantly and shows you the food and serving sizes. One tap to log.

  • Works offline. Anything you've scanned before is cached on the device
  • Multi-scan mode for when you're prepping the week's groceries
  • Doesn't find your code? Add the missing entry yourself. We contribute it back to Open Food Facts so everyone benefits

Feature 03 · Macros & micros

Track the nutrients you care about. Hide the rest.

Protein, carbs, fat, fiber, plus 23 micronutrients beyond that, including iron, magnesium, B12, vitamin D. RDA suggestions come from your own plan, and if you change a target it stays changed.

  • 27 nutrients tracked in the background, however many of them you choose to see
  • Targets use your goal, body and activity instead of generic random defaults
  • Your custom values persist across days and app reloads

Feature 04 · Daily cards

Food, steps and exercise. One swipe.

The Journal now has a carousel for your day: calories and food, adjustable steps, and logged exercises. If no exercise is logged, the exercise card becomes a shortcut to add one.

  • Default step goal is 10,000, but you can change it in 500-step increments
  • Exercise calories use MET, duration and your current weight
  • Apple Health and Android Health Connect support the movement layer where available

Feature 05 · Themes & icons

Make Meelo feel like your app.

Appearance now supports a real preview screen for themes and launcher icons. Ember stays free; Pro unlocks the rest of the variants.

  • Ember, Sage, Slate, Amber, Onyx, Cream and Gold variants
  • Native icon swapping for iOS and Android builds with the plugin included
  • Preview before switching, so the choice is visible instead of hidden in a setting

Feature 06 · AI logging

Or just take a photo. (Pro.)

Don't feel like searching? On Pro, point your camera at a meal and Meelo identifies the foods. Or describe it in plain language ("I had a bowl of overnight oats with strawberries"). Or scan a nutrition label from any packet. Whatever's fastest for you in that moment.

  • Photo logging. The vision model picks out ingredients and portions
  • Voice or text logging. Claude parses it into items you can edit
  • Label scan. Point at any nutrition table to pull the values
  • Recipe import. Paste a TikTok / NYT Cooking / BBC Good Food link, it splits into ingredients
  • Always editable. AI suggests, you decide before logging

Feature 07 · A calmer mode

A mode without numbers.

We talked to eating-disorder clinicians while designing this. Flip it on and the numbers go away. Calories, weight, the rating chips, all hidden. Plant variety becomes the headline metric instead. Turn it on for a week, a day, a meal. We won't ask why you switched.

  • Per-screen visibility toggles, not a buried setting
  • Reminders soften their language. No "you missed your goal" pings
  • Plant variety becomes the lead number on your dashboard
  • Remove body measurements entirely in one tap
