What is Saura?
Saura is a nutrition-tracking app for iPhone and Android. Snap a photo of a meal or type what you ate, and Saura estimates its calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber in seconds, then compares your day with your personal targets.
How Saura works
1. Snap or type a meal
Take a photo of your plate or describe the meal in your own words.
2. Check the estimate
Saura identifies the ingredients and estimates portions. Correct any ingredient or amount and the nutrition is recalculated.
3. Follow your targets
See how the day's meals compare with your personal nutrition targets, and follow your nutrition and weight over the weeks.
Common questions about Saura
- Is Saura free?
- Saura is free to download, and photo-based calorie and macro analysis is free with no usage limit. Recipes, protein tracking, shopping lists, the weekly meal planner and the detailed nutrition view are part of Saura Pro; the app shows the price and terms before you subscribe.
- How accurate are calorie estimates from a photo?
- Saura gives an estimate, not a weighed measurement. Accuracy depends on portion size, hidden ingredients such as oil and sauces, and the cooking method. You can correct ingredients and amounts, and recognized ingredients are matched to food-composition data where available.
- Can I log a meal without a photo?
- Yes. Type the meal in your own words, for example “oatmeal with blueberries and a coffee with milk”, and Saura estimates the nutrition from the text. Photo and text entries appear in the same food diary.
- Which devices and languages does Saura support?
- Saura runs on iPhone and Android phones and is available on the App Store and Google Play. The app can be used in English, Finnish, Swedish and German.
- Does Saura replace a doctor or dietitian?
- No. Saura is a nutrition-tracking tool; it does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you have a medical condition or follow a medical diet, follow your doctor's or dietitian's advice.
