A simple calorie tracking app that does one thing only: tracks calories, and does so privately. Have you found yourself wanting an app to track your calories, only to be hit by a swarm of application solutions that require logins or monthly subscriptions? Have you ever found yourself saying "Oh for crying out loud I just want to enter my calories I don't need to put in all this macro information or navigate through a data or notify my friends on social media that I just consumed a home made hamburger, just let me enter my calories!"? If so, then OnlyCals is for you. Future updates will include data tracking, viewing trends, past meals, and more. But the core of the app will always be: an app that lets you quickly, easily enter your calories, get a running total of your calories for the day, and get on with your day. It's OnlyCals! Version 1.0 features: - Calorie Tracking - Meal naming (optional) - Note taking per meal (optional) - Daily calorie limits with progress update (optional)
