Calorie tracking for Persian cuisine

The calorie counter that knows ghormeh sabzi and the regional dishes of Iran.

Photograph your meal, describe it by voice, or type it. Nora calculates its calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, measuring rice by the kafgir and kebab by the skewer.

No app store required. Nora runs in your phone’s browser, and the app is in Persian.

Three ways to log

Log each meal the way that suits you.

Photo, voice or text. Each method produces the same result: the calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat of the meal.

Photo

Nora identifies the dish and the portion size from the photo and asks you to confirm. If it is not correct, type the name of the dish and Nora recalculates.

5 photos per day

Voice

Describe your meal as you normally would. Your words appear on screen as you speak, and brief pauses do not end the recording.

One sentence per meal

Text

As you type, only matching foods are shown. You can also enter an entire meal in a single sentence.

Or a calorie figure alone

Persian cuisine

From Tabriz’s kufteh to Shiraz’s faloodeh.

Nora’s food database is built for Persian cooking. It covers regional dishes from across Iran, each measured in the household portions used at home. Every food is looked up in this database first, and only items not found there are estimated by AI.

368 Persian recipes, 517 curated foods and 3,285 ingredients, 2,612 of which include household measures.

Each row shows the figure Nora displays when that dish is logged.

Macronutrients

Your plate in three colors.

Each macronutrient has a fixed color in Nora, used consistently across every ring, bar and chart, so the composition of a meal is clear at a glance.
