Tracking McDonald's without guessing

Chain nutrition data is a great starting point, but the moment you customise — and most people do — the standard entry stops matching your meal. Bento Bunny's AI photo tracking closes that gap: snap your quarter pounder with cheese and the on-device AI (iOS 26+) logs what you actually ordered, not what the menu says a default build contains.
