MealMate exists for a single reason, to help you achieve your physical goals by providing practical meal plans you can actually follow. We know it’s challenging to fit a meal plan into your life. Every day can be different, and most meal plans only offer standardized options with little to no flexibility. But not MealMate! Our meal plans are as individual as you. When calculating meal plans, our MealMate algorithm not only takes into account your calorie-, protein-, carbs-, and fat-targets, but also how many times per day you want to eat. MealMate automatically generates meal plans for you that support you with your goals, from building muscle to losing fat. It doesn’t matter when and how many times you want to eat per day. MealMate is highly customizable and generates meal plans tailored to you. Simple calorie trackers only help you track your calories. But that’s only a fraction of the work. The hard part is deciding what to eat to ensure that you reach your desired macros for the day. That’s where we help you. ***Highlight Features*** MACRO MEAL PLAN GENERATION Meal plans are a great tool if you want to lose fat, build muscle, and live a healthier life. MealMate calculates your macros and calories and provides you with a meal plan that matches your macros. You can also easily adapt your macros and calories manually. Don’t like the meal plan? Simply regenerate the whole day or change single meals. AI SCAN Use our AI scan to analyze the macros of spontaneous meals or barcodes, include them in your meal plan, and receive suggestions for your further diet based on your scans. HIGH CUSTOMIZABILITY We offer a very high degree of customizability when generating your meal plan to ensure that it works for you. Do you want to build habits and repeat specific meals every day? Just insert them into your template and our algorithm will build a meal plan around your set meals. We also don’t force a structure on you. You decide how many meals you want to eat per day. HANDPICKED RECIPES Healthy and delicious meals are the heart of every meal plan. Our continuously growing database of over 1000 handpicked recipes offers many breakfast, dinner, lunch, snack, or dessert options. Additionally, select whether our meal plan should consider any allergies or other dietary restrictions. We’ll only show you the meals that match your eating habits. ***Feature Overview*** - Get meal plans based on your calorie and macro targets - Take pictures of meals and barcodes to analyze the macros - Easily regenerate the day - Change single meals with our easy shuffle function - No limitations: Supports many different diet styles (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, keto, pescatarian, …) and allergies - Everybody’s eating habits are different: You decide how often and at which times you want to eat - Simplicity is key to a successful diet: Set fixed meals for specific days and times - Easily transform your meal plan into a shopping list - Copy your meal plan to other days if you want to repeat the day - Block meals you don’t like - Track your progress with voluntary weight-ins to stay motivated - Be consistent with the meal plan to build a streak - Customize the algorithm to your preferences.

Know exactly how many miles are left in every pair. Most shoe trackers count up. SoleWise counts down. Set a target, log your miles, and watch the number drop — so you always know which pairs are fresh, which are getting tired, and which ones have earned their retirement. For runners, walkers, and anyone who's ever stared at a beat-up pair of shoes and thought "wait, how many miles ARE on these?" HOW IT WORKS Add your shoes, set a target mileage, and start logging. Color-coded rings tell you the story at a glance. FEATURES Mileage countdown for every pair Apple Health sync — runs and walks pull in automatically Manual logging for treadmill sessions, hikes, neighborhood loops, whatever Home Screen widgets in small, medium, and large Mileage alerts before you blow past your target Miles or kilometers, your call Track your whole rotation, however big it's gotten Retire pairs to a tidy archive (no judgment on how many) APPLE HEALTH Connect once and your workouts show up automatically. Assign each one to the shoes you wore, and the countdown takes care of itself. No double-counting, no fiddly setup. WIDGETS Same color-coded rings as the app, right on your Home Screen. A glance is all it takes to spot the pair that's about to graduate. FREE. No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just a tool to know when to replace your shoes.
