MacroFlow is a privacy-first nutrition tracker with everything you need to track calories and macros. It's free to use with no subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, and no data tracking. Just fast, powerful nutrition tracking that respects your privacy. I built MacroFlow because I was frustrated with apps that lock essential features behind subscriptions. Calorie tracking should be free and easy, barcode scanning shouldn’t be behind a paywall, and your health data should belong to you, not advertisers. What’s free in MacroFlow: All core tracking features are included at no cost: • Barcode scanning (with OpenFoodFacts and USDA FDC databases) • Food database search (with OpenFoodFacts and USDA FDC databases) • Full calorie & macro tracking • Weight logging • Water logging • Saved Meals for convenient multi-item logging • Intermittent fasting feature • Statistics and charts • Apple Health integration • Data export and import • Multiple units • Customisable goals • Measurement tracking • Daily reminder check-lists • Customise week date starts, preferred databases, favourite stats, macro targets, visual elements MacroFlow uses free food databases and stores all data locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded, sold, or shared. If you ever uninstall or switch devices, you can export and import your data yourself, no accounts needed. MacroFlow Supporter (One-Time, Lifetime Access) For users who want to support development and gain access to a premium food database, MacroFlow Supporter is a one-time payment upgrade that grants: • Access to the Edamam food database for expanded food search • Advanced barcode scanning powered by Edamam • iOS widgets for your home and lock screen • Apple Watch companion app • Additional visual customisation options for app colours and logo • Micronutrient tracking, including vitamins and minerals • Food Group Insights • Unlimited Saved Meals The Supporter upgrade exists to cover the cost of the premium food API and Apple Developer fees, not to restrict basic tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MacroFlow at none against Traxa's shown. MacroFlow also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Traxa's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 70%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
