EthnoCAL

A food log, by text

Tell Eth what you ate. That's the whole job.

Type it the way you'd say it. "Lentejas con arroz." "Wonton soup and half an egg roll." "Two slices of pizza." Eth writes it down, with the plate the way your house makes it, and stays out of your way.

  • lentejas con arroz

  • Lentils with rice, the lunch plate. I put it down with the rice and a little salsa criolla.

  • no, it had an egg on top too

  • Added the egg. I'll remember that's how your house does it.

How it thinks

Consistency beats accuracy

The log that works is the one you keep. Eth never asks for grams or a scale. It asks for the name of the thing, and only clarifies when it would matter.

Your kitchen, not a database

Ají de gallina is not "chicken stew." Lentejas con arroz is a lunch plate, not a soup. Eth starts with Peruvian food and learns the rest from the people who cook it.

It learns your house

Correct Eth once and it keeps the correction. Your chicken soup has lemon? Your lentils come with an egg? Said once, remembered.

A coach, not a scold

No red numbers, no "over," no "left." Eth helps you notice what you eat. What you do with that is yours.

How a day goes

  1. 01 · Morning

    Open the app. Eth says good morning and waits.

  2. 02 · Lunch

    "Pollo a la brasa, quarter, with fries and salad." Logged in one line, with the sides it comes with.

  3. 03 · Evening

    A photo of dinner, or a word about it. Eth asks one question at most.

  4. 04 · Later

    Glance at the day. Edit anything with a tap. Tomorrow, Eth remembers.

In a Peruvian house, lunch is the big meal. Eth knows that before you tell it.

Who shapes each kitchen

What Eth won't pretend

  • Calories are estimates. Eth says so when it's guessing.
  • Photos help Eth see what's on the plate. They don't replace a word from you.
  • EthnoCAL is not medical advice and not treatment. It's a log with good manners.

Start with tonight's dinner.
