Calorie tracking on iPhone Duo
Short answer
SeeMeEat uses both halves of the open iPhone Duo. Keep your daily totals beside your meals, review a meal photo beside its ingredients, and open Add food next to your journal. Duo layouts are available in the current iPhone app. The clearer selected-tab background shown in the demonstration was released in iPhone version 3.1.2.
Your journal and Add food, side by side
Read the demonstration steps
- Open Today on iPhone Duo: the day's totals and water appear on the left, with meals on the right.
- Open Add food beside Today, keeping the journal visible.
- Review a sample meal estimate and its ingredients across two panels. Open the meal-time picker beside the result.
- Confirm the reviewed meal and see the journal update.
- A separate still image shows Trends on the folded screen. It is labeled as a still and does not demonstrate a folding transition.

What changes when you open iPhone Duo?
Your journal expands into two usable columns. In Today, the date, energy summary and water stay on the left, while your meals and the next logging action appear on the right. Each side scrolls independently, so you can check your day's progress while looking through the meal list.
The layout follows the center fold. App controls sit to either side, and the navigation rail occupies the status column on the right edge. The same rail is available on the Duo's outer screen. On other iPhones, navigation remains along the bottom.
How does reviewing a meal work side by side?
The photo and nutrition totals stay on the left, while the ingredients and actions appear on the right. Review the foods the estimate identified, check each portion, and use Correct it in words when you know something the first estimate missed. Logging remains a deliberate final action after you review the result.
For example, if a meal contains less rice than the draft assumes, explain that in the correction field. Review the revised ingredients and total, then log the meal. Watch the correction workflow for a separate demonstration with sample data.
| What you are doing | Left side | Right side |
|---|---|---|
| Checking Today | Daily totals and water | Meal list and logging actions |
| Reviewing an estimate | Meal photo and totals | Ingredients, correction and Log meal |
| Adding food | The journal stays visible | Add food and entry options |
| Reviewing trends | Weekly numbers and focus | Calendar and progress |
What happens when you open Add food?
Add food opens beside the journal on the open Duo. You can choose a photo, a description, a barcode or another entry method while retaining the context of your day. App editors use that side panel too, including the ingredient editor and daily-goal controls.
System screens such as Apple's photo picker and share sheet follow iOS's own presentation. The camera and barcode scanner use their capture layouts. The purpose of the split is to make reviewing and entering food easier on the open display, while keeping the actions familiar.
What happens when you fold the phone?
SeeMeEat keeps your selected tab and screen and returns to the narrower layout. Today, Trends, Memory, Together and You remain the same destinations. The outer screen shows content in one column, and opening the phone returns to the wider arrangement.
Finish or save an edit before changing posture. Moving between the narrow and wide layouts can restart a list's scroll position or rebuild an open editor. Your saved journal entries remain available.
Is the Duo update available now?
Yes. The core Duo layouts shipped with iPhone version 3.1.0. The selected tab's filled background was released in iPhone version 3.1.2.
The recording retains its 3.1.2 development preview label because it was captured from a simulator development build before release. It is not a recording of the released App Store binary.
The video uses demonstration meals and deterministic sample estimates. It shows recordings of the real app interface in the open iPhone Duo simulator, followed by a labeled still image of Trends on the folded screen. It does not demonstrate a folding transition. Nutrition numbers in the demonstration are examples, not a measurement of analysis accuracy.
Common questions
Do I need a separate Duo subscription?
No. Duo layouts are part of the iPhone app. SeeMeEat Pro is $1.99 a month or $9.99 a year in the U.S., with localized prices shown in other storefronts before purchase. Pro includes unlimited photo scans and unlimited meal descriptions.
Can I use the same journal on my other phone?
Yes. Your structured journal syncs when you sign in, including between iPhone and Android. Original submitted scan photos are stored privately with your account, separately from journal sync. The Privacy Policy explains retention and deletion.
Where should I start?
Open Today, add a meal using the method that fits it, review the estimate and log it. Photo estimates are one way to start; typed or dictated meal descriptions work when you already know the ingredients and amounts.
