No database to search. No barcodes to scan. Just tell MacroNote what you ate, by voice, photo or text, and it does the counting for you. Tracking calories and macros should take seconds, not a form-filling chore. Say what you ate, snap the plate, or type a line, and MacroNote works out the rest, logging every meal as calories plus protein, carbs and fat, automatically. No scrolling a huge food database. No hunting for barcodes. None of the tedious manual entry that makes most people quit calorie tracking. Just a calm, ruled food-log diary that reads "TODAY · 630 kcal", not a cluttered spreadsheet. WHAT YOU GET • Log by voice, photo or text: AI turns each meal into calories, protein, carbs and fat • A calm, editorial notebook diary: a ruled food-log card, not a database • Daily calorie and macro targets that recalibrate as your weight and goals change • A weekly nutrition review with charts, streaks, trends and plain-language insight • Works with Apple Health: reads your activity and weight, and saves the weight you record • Works fully offline, and speaks British English throughout HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell MacroNote what you ate using voice, photo or text 2. It works out the calories and macros 3.
