Clinical food diary for Malaysia

A smarter way to
understand what
you eat.

MakanLah is a photo-first meal diary designed for patients and their dietitians. Log meals with a photo, jot down how you felt, and share a structured clinical report — no calorie counting required.

Who is this for

Patients

Log what you eat without the hassle of counting calories. Just snap, tag, and write a note.

Dietitians

Receive a structured photo diary report with meal context and patient journal notes, ready to review.

How it works

Snap a photo of your meal

Use your phone camera directly in the app, or pick an existing photo from your gallery. No need to type food names — the photo does the talking.

📷 Log tab

Tag the context

Select your meal type (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, or Supper), where you ate, how you were feeling, and the time. Just a few taps — no typing needed.

🏷️ Meal type · Location · Mood

Write your journal note

Visit the Journal tab anytime to write how a meal made you feel — before, during, or after. Cravings, fullness, discomfort, emotions — anything that helps paint a fuller picture.

What MakanLah is (and isn't)

Simple by design.

✕ No calorie counting or macro tracking — we leave the nutritional analysis to your dietitian.
✕ No food database to scroll through — photos are faster and more accurate than searching for "nasi lemak biasa."
✕ No account required — your data stays on your device, always.
✓ A structured, shareable record that gives your dietitian real behavioural and contextual insight.
✓ Built for the Malaysian food context — from warung lunches to late-night mamak suppers.

Your data stays on your device.

MakanLah stores everything — photos, notes, and meal logs — directly on your phone or browser using IndexedDB. Nothing is uploaded to any server. You choose when to share your report, and with whom.
