What is free, and when do I need an account?
There is currently no subscription or charge for these features. This describes the product today, not a promise of unchanged pricing forever. Registration requires email and password, not payment details.

How do I get started on iPhone, Android or desktop?
- Open ProteinLook in your browser. Start with registration or optionally try a photo or written meal description first.
- Create your free account to save meals. You do not have to complete the test before signing up.
- Use the browser app or add it to your home screen. On iPhone, find the option in Safari under Share; on Android, use the Chrome menu if your browser offers it.
- Set a goal and log your first meal. AI analysis and account access need an internet connection.
Can I use ProteinLook without signing up?
You can try ProteinLook without signing up, but ongoing anonymous tracking is not available. Saving meals, daily totals and history requires a free account. No subscription does not mean no registration.
The no-account test is intentionally limited. You will be asked to sign up for free for more photos and tracking, not to buy a subscription. Direct registration is always available.
What should I check in a free calorie app?
- Input: do you want to photograph food, describe it or scan barcodes? ProteinLook supports photos and text, not barcode scanning.
- Corrections: AI estimates should be reviewable. In your ProteinLook account, correct ingredients and portions through chat.
- Limits: no photo app automatically knows every recipe or exact oil quantity. Use known amounts and nutrition labels when available.
- Privacy: photos are sent to an AI model for analysis. Your saved meal keeps a small thumbnail, not the original photo.
