No signup. No ads. No subscriptions. Just a private calorie tracker for weight loss that works. Most calorie trackers make logging harder than it needs to be. They ask for your email, collect your data, and slow you down with endless searches. Getter is different. It is built to be simple, private, and fast, so you can focus on your nutrition instead of the app. HOW IT WORKS The On-Device Vault Log a meal once. The next time, it appears instantly. Your meal history is stored locally on your device for the fastest re-logging experience available. PureEdit Nutrition that adapts to reality. Instantly scale portions in Auto Mode, or switch to Manual Mode to edit calories, protein, carbs, fat, or fibre individually. Whether the label differs from the database or you've changed a recipe, PureEdit lets you log exactly what you ate. Raw & Cooked Log ingredients before or after cooking with confidence. We handle the conversions, so your nutrition stays accurate. Write, Don't Search Skip endless food databases. Type "Chicken pasta" or "Oatmeal with fruit" and Getter understands what you mean. We use USDA-verified data when available and AI when needed. The Targets That Matter Calories are only part of the picture. Track calories, protein, fibre, carbs, and fat using sensible nutrition targets based on the UK Eatwell Guide. Privacy by Default No email. No phone number. No account. Your data stays on your device, where it belongs. If you value simplicity, speed, and privacy, Getter is for you.

About

Protein Ring

Features
Read full description

Protein Ring turns a plain sentence about what you ate into an honest protein number. Type what you actually ate, like "2 eggs, oats, and a protein shake". In seconds you see your protein, calories and the nutrients you're low on. Check the estimate, change what's wrong, and watch the ring fill. No photos, no barcodes, no food search. Key features: - A protein target sized from your goal, your training week and your body details, with Apple Health import if you want it. - Meal logging in your own words, typed or dictated. - Every estimate is shown for you to check before it counts. Change the words and it is estimated again. - Log again: repeat a meal you have had, with last time's estimate. - Insights over your last 28 days: how often protein reached its target, macros against your plan, and which nutrients fall short of the daily reference. - Apple Health, if you allow it: import body details, and add saved meals to Health. - Apple Watch: dictate a meal on your wrist and review it on your iPhone. - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and a Live Activity while the estimate works. - At most one reminder a day, and only if you turn it on. The weekly and yearly plans renew until you cancel; Apple shows the price before you confirm. Estimates can be incomplete or wrong; you check them before they count. Protein Ring is for general wellness and is not medical advice.
