Stage 1 of 6
Capture or describe the plate.
Snap a photo, speak or type a meal in plain English, scan a barcode or read a nutrition label. EXIF location and timestamps are stripped before upload.
From plate to diary.
Swipe or scroll sideways through the iPhone workflow — every assumption, macro equation and privacy boundary stays visible before you log.
Stage 2 of 6
Surface the hidden fats.
Cooking oil, butter and dressings carry 9 kcal/g and rarely show clearly on camera. DishReveal lists unconfirmed fats as ASSUMED with confidence and a toggle.
Stage 3 of 6
Check the 4 / 4 / 9 maths.
The AI never guesses the calorie total. DishReveal multiplies protein (× 4), carbs (× 4), fat (× 9) and alcohol (× 7) on your iPhone so every row adds up.
Stage 4 of 6
Targets backed by papers.
Your target uses Mifflin-St Jeor (1990), FAO/WHO/UNU activity factors, Wishnofsky (1958) pace and NHMRC macro ranges with 1,200 / 1,500 kcal floors.
Stage 5 of 6
Coach shows what it sees.
Before sending any question, DishReveal prints the exact numeric macro summary attached to it. Food photos never leave your iPhone for Coach.
Stage 6 of 6
Saved locally to your iPhone.
Confirmed meals write straight to an offline SQLite diary on your device, updating daily targets with full JSON, CSV or ZIP export anytime.

Every gram stays editable.
Switch between three real meals from DishReveal, toggle what the camera can't see and scale portions. Everything recalculates locally before a single row is saved.

Mixed vegetable salad 11 g × 4 + 27 g × 4 + 5 g × 9 = 197 kcal
Olive oil dressing 0 g × 4 + 1 g × 4 + 14 g × 9 = 130 kcal
Meal total 197 + 130 = 327 kcal
Assumed fats stay separate.
Likely oil, butter, dressing or sauce arrives as its own ASSUMED item with an explanation and a direct yes-or-no control.
Scale the plate weight.
When a photo lacks a clear reference object, switch between small (0.67×), medium (1×) or large (1.5×) before saving.
So is the oil.
At 9 kcal per gram, half a tablespoon either way shifts a meal by more than 60 calories. Pick the size that matches how it was cooked.
Built for the whole week.
Pair seven ways to log a meal with published energy formulas and a Private Coach that prints exactly what numeric context leaves your device.
Seven ways to log
AI names each visible food and marks likely oil, butter or sauce as ASSUMED before logging.

A photo cannot weigh food, so every result is an editable estimate. Poor lighting, mixed dishes, restaurant recipes and hidden cooking fat can make an estimate wrong by more than 20%.
DishReveal shows its assumptions and a confidence level so you can correct the entry before saving, and it does not advertise an accuracy percentage. How the estimates work.
No. Your personalised plan appears before the optional Sign in with Apple step. Choose Not now, then Continue with free features to use the local diary.
Online food search, barcode lookup, AI requests, purchases and purchase restoration require sign-in.
A meal photo or description is sent for an estimate only when you ask for one. Dictation and nutrition-label reading run on your iPhone, and Kovus does not keep a server copy of your diary.
Coach works from a numeric summary of your recent days, sent only with your consent. The privacy policy has the full detail.
Adults aged 18 and over. Onboarding will not build a plan for anyone younger, and calorie targets and weight-loss pacing are not suitable for children or adolescents without professional supervision.
No. DishReveal gives general wellness estimates. It is not a medical device, and it does not replace advice from a doctor, dietitian or other qualified health professional.
Yes. Settings → Export and restore creates a private JSON file, a ZIP with photos up to 64 MB, or a meal spreadsheet (CSV). A compatible JSON or ZIP can be restored locally; CSV cannot be restored.
