It splits the plate, not guesses at it.
Point the camera at your food and Ketolock itemises the meal — each part verified separately, each portion correctable with a tap.
Snap it, scan it, or just say it. Ketolock answers the only question that matters — does this keep you in, or knock you out?

A true story from inside the app — one barcode scan, unedited.
High-protein branding, low-carb aisle, loyal keto following. One scan of the barcode — free and unlimited in Ketolock — reads the actual label.
Twenty grams of net carbs per serving. And in the ingredient list, the radar finds corn starch — a high-glycemic starch that can spike glucose while the front of the bag whispers “keto.”
No euphemism, no maybe. The verdict is printed on the result.
✕ Kicks You OutMaltitol. Hidden starches. “Sugar-free” syrups that aren’t. Catching them is the reason this app exists — so it’s not a paid extra.
✓ Free for everyone, foreverEvery estimate tells you how confident it is and why. When a food matched a nutrition database, it says so. When it’s a guess, it says that too.

Point the camera at your food and Ketolock itemises the meal — each part verified separately, each portion correctable with a tap.

Type it or dictate it. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence this runs entirely on your device — nothing leaves your phone, no limit, no cost.
The barcode reads the real label, so it’s the most accurate route there is — and the big trackers charge for it. Ketolock never will.
No mockups, no renders — these are captures from Ketolock running, honest numbers included.
Most trackers count calories and treat keto as a setting. Ketolock is built the other way round.
Total carbs minus fibre and sugar alcohols, tracked against your own limit on a dial you can read across the room. Calories, protein and fat are there — as the supporting cast.
“AI confidence 73% · 4 of 5 foods matched a nutrition database.” Ketolock shows its working on every scan, so you always know how much to trust a number.
Fully usable from first launch. Your food log lives on your phone — nothing to sign up for, nothing to breach.
Describe-a-Meal runs on the iPhone itself where supported. Choose “On-device only” and photos never go anywhere either.
Sodium, potassium and magnesium from labelled foods and one-tap adds — the keto-flu trio most trackers ignore entirely.
A built-in, searchable guide to 31 restaurant chains with keto-viable orders and their real numbers — not a blog post.
The things that matter on keto, and who actually gives them to you.
