Parkrace vs TransformationBuddy

Parkrace.net is now in app form! Parkrace provides new and interesting ways of looking at your running stats, as well as some features to help you plan your running journey.

TransformationBuddy is a calm, consistency-first sidekick for a body transformation. No account, no ads, and everything stays on your phone. SCAN ANY BARCODE Point your phone at a packaged food and the calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar and sodium fill in before you've put the box down. No barcode in the database? Photograph the Nutrition Facts label instead and the numbers are read on your phone, nothing uploaded. A FOOD LOG YOU CAN IGNORE Calorie counting helps some people and hurts others, so it lives in its own tab that you can hide completely. When you want it: 7,800 generic foods searchable offline, meals, favorites, recents, a daily calorie target with a sensible macro split, and a CSV export. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget shows your day number, check-in status, streaks and calories at a glance, with one-tap buttons to check in, log food or scan a barcode. Lock Screen widgets and an iOS 18 Control Center button get you to the scanner even faster. SYNCS WITH APPLE HEALTH Connect Health and the check-in fills itself in: the weight your scale sent, the steps and sleep your Watch recorded, the water you logged elsewhere. What you log here flows back, so Health shows one honest record. You pick what to share, and it all stays on your phone. TALK TO IT "Check in with TransformationBuddy" and Siri fills your journal from what you say. Or tap Talk, press the Action button or use the Control Center button, and the app listens itself: your words appear on screen, you stop talking, it saves. "Log a meal" and your food is logged with real calories. Describe a meal in plain words on the Food tab and every item gets a portion and a number. Speech becomes text on your phone, nothing is recorded, and on iPhones with Apple Intelligence the on-device model does the reading. WATER, WITHOUT THE NAGGING A daily goal suggested from your weight, glasses logged with one tap from the Today tab or the Water widget, and reminders only between the hours you choose. Hit the goal and the reminders stop for the day. THREE CHAINS, NOT ONE Daily, weekly and monthly streaks run at the same time. Miss three days and log once, and the weekly chain survives. That's the honest way to model a year-long project. Back-filled days count, and no streak can shame you. DAY 1 STAYS ON THE LEFT Your first front and side photos are pinned on the left, forever. Every new check-in lands on the right, with the weight difference between them. A timeline strip lets you hold any past date against Day 1. THE TREND, NOT THE NUMBER Raw weigh-ins are dots. The bold line is a 7-day trend drawn against your goal, so water weight stops being a mood. A trend-low readout gives you a number that only moves when something real changed. A JOURNAL THAT ASKS BETTER QUESTIONS Weight and tape measurements, yes, but also mood, energy, sleep, water, workouts, and a 1-to-5 cravings scale that asks for a note at every level: what triggered it on a hard day, what was different on a calm one. Rotating reflection prompts, a non-scale victory box, and one thing for tomorrow. PROGRESS YOU CAN SHARE A progress-post-style summary (age, height, start, now, weeks) you can copy anywhere, plus CSV and JSON export of everything you've logged. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads. Everything lives on your phone. The only thing the app ever sends over the internet is a barcode, to the Open Food Facts database, and only when you scan one. Optional Face ID lock keeps your photos out of the app switcher.
