Koala: GLP-1 Food Scanner

Koala is for the days when you can only eat this much. You're losing weight on a GLP-1. Your appetite is mostly gone, you're full after a few bites, and everyone has told you the same thing: protein first, or the weight you lose will be muscle. Nobody told you how to do that on half a plate. Koala answers one question, at the moment you're deciding: is this worth the few bites I have? POINT IT AT THE MENU Open the app and point it at a menu. It reads the whole thing and picks the dish that gets you to your meal's protein in a portion you'll actually finish. It says why, gives you a couple more that work, and crosses out the ones that sound good but aren't worth it. When the pick is big, it says to ask for a box. Every pick is a line from the menu you shot. The menu is read on your phone and only its words go up to be picked from. SNAP YOUR PLATE Point it at what's in front of you. Koala names the dish and works out its protein, calories and fiber. If it got it wrong, tell it what it really was and the numbers are worked out again. You can also just type what you had. SCAN A LABEL One scan of a barcode gives a plain answer: "Worth it", "Fine", "Not today" or "Skip", with what it does for you in grams. When something isn't worth it, you get swaps from the same shelf with more protein for fewer calories. WATCH YOUR DAY BLOOM Your day is one flower with five petals: protein, calories, fiber, minerals and movement. Everything you have fills it in. Tap a petal to see where you are. After each answer Koala asks one thing, how much of it you had, so a few bites count as a few bites. KEEP THE MUSCLE The Keep page is about what you're holding on to: a thirty second strength check once a week, lean mass from Apple Health if a scale writes it, and your weight over time. Share your week when you want to. NOTHING YOU CAN'T FACE Greasy things, very sweet things, eggs, whatever it is this week. Tell Koala what you can't face and every pick steers round it. On the days right after your shot it goes easier on fat. Allergies are flagged on sight. NOTHING SOUNDS GOOD? Some days are like that. Koala keeps a short list of easy things that still count, like a shake, Greek yogurt or broth with an egg stirred in. COMING OFF Tell Koala you're maintaining or coming off and the targets ease, and the picks stop favouring the smallest plate. WHY PROTEIN FIRST Depending on the medication, a quarter to 40% of the weight lost on a GLP-1 can be muscle rather than fat. Enough protein and a little strength work are how you keep it. PRIVACY What you're on is kept private. It sizes your targets and nothing in the app says it out loud. To read a plate, a menu or a line you type, Koala sends it to Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, and it asks for your permission before it does. Plate photos aren't kept. Apple Health is read only, and your steps and workouts stay on your phone. No ads and no data sale. SUBSCRIPTION Koala requires a subscription to use. Monthly and annual plans are available.
