An Arabic-language app that estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat from a photo of a meal, with a dataset centered on Arab and Levantine food.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

Skano describes a photo-based workflow that identifies ingredients, estimates portions, calculates macronutrients, and saves the result to a daily food log. Its stated dataset emphasizes Arabic and Levantine dishes—including maqluba, musakhan, kibbeh, and kunafa—as well as prepared supermarket foods. The page says results can be edited manually and that image analysis requires an internet connection. The app is presented as approaching launch, with monthly and annual subscriptions and a one-week free trial.
