## What is Daily Tracker for Weight Loss?

Track your food and exercise the simple way — and reach your weight goals
with no account, no subscription, and no website to join. Your data stays
private on your device.

Logging what you eat and how much you move is one of the most effective
habits for losing weight and keeping it off. This app makes it fast and
keeps you motivated with a simple daily budget.

HOW IT WORKS
You get a daily food budget plus a weekly bonus. Every food has a cost that's
subtracted from your daily budget; go over and it comes out of your weekly
bonus. Exercise boosts your budget back up. Simple, flexible, and it works the
way you already think about your plan.

NEW
• Apple Intelligence Insights — a few plain-language observations connecting
  your food, activity, and weight each week, generated privately on your
  device. (Requires a compatible device running iOS/iPadOS 26.)
• A redesigned home dashboard on iPhone and iPad — Budget, Bonus, and Boost
  rings with one-tap logging for food, activity, and water.

GREAT FOR
People following a commercial weight-loss or points-based plan, or anyone who
just wants to count calories. Includes a searchable database of [5,000+] foods
from the USDA National Nutrient Database — plus popular chain restaurants and
brand-name items — and [240+] exercises with budget-boosting values.

FEATURES
• No account or sign-up — your data stays on your device
• Track your way: calories, points, points+, protein, fat, or carbs
• Day/Week tracking by hour or by meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks)
• Scan a barcode to add packaged foods fast
• Quick-entry screen when you don't want to look anything up
• Water tracking with your own daily goal
• Weigh-in tracking with trend lines, goal projection, and CSV export
• Built-in tools to help you set a healthy budget
• Favorites, plus add your own foods and exercises
• Multi-user support
• Charts, graphs, and day/week nutrition & exercise reports
• Apple Health (HealthKit) integration
• Helpful blog posts and recipes
• Share progress with friends on Facebook

To determine the right daily budget for you, please consult your medical
professional.

### 1/5 — Locks up on my iPad 10

*2024-10-16*

I can not log on to the app after downloading it to my new iPad 10. To bad been using this for years.

### 3/5 — Can’t see daily food items

*2022-03-26*

LOVED this app for many years (since about 2010). I don’t think it’s active anymore because I haven’t seen an opportunity to update. Everything is working except when I click on the daily “food” icon (bottom left) it glitches out of the app and back to my home screen…which is annoying when you want to see your daily list of consumed food. That is the most important info I want to access, and I can’t. PLEASE UPDATE IF YOU STILL CAN! I noticed the website is gone now too… :(

### 2/5 — Use to be a great go to app but not now?

*2020-03-11, version 3.6.7*

I can not trust this app any longer it does not function since the apparent last update. I will enter meals only to have them totally disappear later? I can not add a food item to the Food Management list? I'm at a loss trying to make this app work for me.

### 5/5 — Perfect tracking app

*2020-01-25*

This app has everything you need to track diet/exercise/water/weight. You can use the database or totally create your own entries that are easy to find later.  Very reasonable price.

### 1/5 — Latest update super buggy

*2019-12-11*

With the latest update it constantly erases my whole days food log.   It erases the current day I’m on after I finish it.  It also erases the days in the future when I’m trying to plan ahead.   Getting very sick of having to keep adding the same things over and over just to have it erased.

### 4/5 — Can’t add new weight.

*2019-11-05*

Wont allow me to add new weight.

### 4/5 — Basic and great

*2018-11-04, version 3.6.3*

I was looking for something that would let me track the original weight watchers plan before points plus and had some difficulty finding an app that I like. This one fits the bill. It’s pretty basic and lacks the bar code scanner and recipe builder and it also doesn’t link to my Fitbit like some of the other apps.  However, it’s user friendly and I’m pretty happy with it so far.

### 5/5 — LoveIt!

*2018-09-18*

This app had all that I need.

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2018-02-02*

The only gripe I have is It won’t display in lbs, even though I have made it so in settings.

### 5/5 — Best point tracker

*2017-04-01*

Unlike other Apps, this one has a huge inventory of food items which eliminates the need to enter in the nutritional values for everything you eat like the other Apps.  I have lost 2 pounds so far in 5 days by tracking points and making smart choices, which this App helps me to do. My friend tried another App and it has zero food inventory so she stopped using it because it took so much time to enter values for each and everything she ate.  This App allows me to add foods if I need to but most of the time the item is in the inventory. Yay! Thumbs up!
