I tried the big calorie-tracking apps. They were all the same: slow, full of junk data, and hidden behind subscriptions. I built Lokcal to be different. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No cloud. No servers. Everything — your food logs, weight history, and goals — is stored only on your device. There is nothing to sell and no database to breach. DATA FROM ACTUAL STORE SHELVES Stop scrolling through 1,000 types of "Large Egg." Lokcal searches food data from Albert Heijn, Kroger, and Esselunga — the products you actually find on store shelves, with accurate nutrition info. KNOW YOUR ACTUAL METABOLISM Forget BMR calculators and guesswork. Lokcal compares your real weight trends to your logged intake to calculate your actual maintenance calories. Real data, not estimates. LOG IT IN SECONDS Lokcal is local-first, so there are no loading spinners. Open the app, log your meal, get back to your day. Barcode scanner included for instant logging of packaged foods. ALSO INCLUDED · Barcode scanner · "Same as yesterday" quick-add shortcut · Weekly dashboard to review and rebalance your goals · Food breakdown by cost and macros · Weight and exercise tracking · Full data import and export FREE AND OPEN SOURCE Lokcal has no premium tier, no subscription, and no ads. The source code is public on GitHub.
