Nomvy is an AI calorie and nutrition tracking app made by QuantumPlug Technologies LLP. You log a meal with a photo, a sentence or your voice, and Nomvy estimates each item's portion, calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber. It lists hidden calories such as cooking oil, ghee and dressings as separate lines, shows a likely range instead of one exact-looking number, and lets you correct a result by typing or saying what was different. Its food data includes a 334-dish regional pack with South Asian and Middle Eastern home cooking. Nomvy has no ads, and the free plan includes 3 AI logs a day.
How the targets and AI estimates are worked out, with references, is on the methodology and sources page.
Nomvy is made by QuantumPlug, on Google Play for Android now, and coming soon to the App Store for iPhone.
Step 1
Take a photo, or type or say something like “2 rotis, dal and a bowl of rice”. For packaged food, scan the barcode instead.
Step 2
Nomvy lists each item with its portion in grams or household units, puts cooking oil, ghee and dressings on their own lines, and shows a likely range. If a photo can’t tell how a dish was cooked, it asks one question.
Step 3
Type or say what was different, like “half the rice, no sauce”. Only those items change, with a before-and-after and Undo. After two corrections to the same food, Smart Memory adjusts its portion for you.
Photos can’t see cooking oil, ghee, butter, dressing or the sugar in your chai. Nomvy lists them as separate lines, shows a likely range and a confidence level, and asks at most one quick question when it’s unsure.
Type or say what’s different — “half the rice, no sauce” — and only the items you mention change, with a clear before-and-after and one-tap Undo. Corrections are free and unlimited.
Help with the app, billing and your data is on the support page.
Yes. With a free account you get 3 AI logs a day (photo, text or voice, resetting at midnight your time), plus unlimited corrections, barcode scanning, food search and manual entry. Trying the app as a guest without an account gives 1 AI log a day. There are no ads on any plan. Nomvy Pro removes the daily AI limit and adds menu and nutrition-label scanning, full insights, custom targets and CSV export. In the US it costs $9.99 a month, $39.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $99.99 once for lifetime access; local prices vary.
Less accurate than most apps suggest. A photo can’t show the oil absorbed in cooking, sauces underneath, or the exact weight on the plate. In a controlled-feeding study presented at NUTRITION 2026 (preliminary, not yet peer reviewed), four popular photo-based apps underestimated calories by about a third, roughly 250–345 kcal per meal, mostly from fat. Nomvy is designed around that problem: it lists hidden fats separately, shows a likely range, asks one question when it can’t tell how a dish was cooked, and checks items against food databases. It doesn’t publish a single accuracy percentage, because accuracy varies a lot from meal to meal. For packaged food, the barcode scanner is the most reliable option.
Yes, that is one of its focuses. Nomvy’s regional pack has 105 South Asian dishes and ingredients, such as dal, roti, paratha, biryani, sabzi and chai, with typical home-cooked values drawn from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 and USDA data. It understands household units like katori, roti, piece and plate, applies cuisine-aware defaults for oil and ghee, and asks how a dish was cooked when that changes the calories. The app is also available in Hindi and Urdu.
Yes. The regional pack includes 60 Middle Eastern dishes, from shawarma and hummus to kabsa and mandi, and the app is available in Arabic with a right-to-left layout. Smart Memory learns the portions and family recipes you eat most often.
Open Nomvy, tap the camera and photograph the plate in good light. Nomvy identifies each item, estimates the portion and gives calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber, with hidden fats listed separately. Review the result, answer the one question if it asks how the food was cooked, fix anything with a sentence, then save it to your diary.
Yes, and corrections are free and unlimited. Type or say what was different, for example “half the rice, no sauce, it was 2 rotis”, and only those items change, with a before-and-after and Undo. You can also edit grams or units for any item, or swap it for a database food.
Nomvy has no ads on the free plan or on Pro, and contains no advertising SDKs. Health data is never shared with advertisers or used for advertising.
Yes. Protein is shown first, next to calories, with carbs, fat, fiber and water. Your protein target is set from your goal weight and goal, within the ranges of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. If you take a GLP-1 medication, Nomvy can help you keep an eye on protein, fiber and water, but it doesn’t log doses or side effects and isn’t medical advice.
As of November 2026, MyFitnessPal has a far larger food database and more device integrations, and if you mostly eat packaged food it is a strong choice. Its barcode scanner and photo Meal Scan are part of MyFitnessPal Premium, and the free version shows ads. Nomvy is built around AI logging of home-cooked and mixed meals: barcode scanning and food search are free, there are no ads, hidden fats are listed separately with a likely range, and you correct a meal with a sentence.
Cal AI, now owned by MyFitnessPal, is a photo-first calorie counter built for speed. Nomvy is also photo-first, but it is designed around the places photo estimates go wrong: it lists cooking oil, ghee and dressings as their own lines, shows a likely range rather than one exact-looking number, asks one question when it can’t tell how a dish was cooked, and learns your usual portions from your corrections. Nomvy’s free plan includes 3 AI logs a day and free barcode scanning, and the full method is published.
Nomvy is on Google Play for Android now. The iPhone version is coming soon to the App Store and will be linked here when it is live. One account will work on both, with your diary synced.
Photos are stripped of location and other metadata on your phone before upload, and raw scan photos are deleted after 30 days unless you save them with a meal. Voice is turned into text by your phone’s own speech recognition, so Nomvy never receives audio. Your data is never sold or used for ads, and you can export it or delete your account in the app.
Every result is an AI estimate that you review before saving. Nomvy is for general wellness, is not a medical device, and is for people aged 16 and over.
Targets have safe pace limits and calorie floors, and weight-loss goals are blocked at a low BMI. Nomvy isn’t suitable for anyone with, or recovering from, an eating disorder, or during pregnancy. Talk to a healthcare professional before changing your diet.
