You log food in one app and train in another. The meal never meets the workout. Photograph your meal and check today's calories. Then start the workout in the same app. PerfectTrAIner is a macro tracker, a calorie counter, and a workout log for people who already do both. HOW IT WORKS 1. Photograph your meal. Search, describe, or scan the barcode when a photo is the wrong tool. 2. Log that food against today's calories, protein, carbs, and fat targets. 3. Start the workout in that same app, with the meal already counted. 4. Need assistance? Ask the trainer for suggestions. WHAT CHANGES - Your meals shows up against the targets you set, in the same app as your workouts - Photos, descriptions, search, and barcodes all land in one meal log - A gym log for sets, reps, and weight, with information from your last sessions - Meal and workout ideas that follow those targets, including injuries and foods you skip "This app has been a great help in keeping track of my meals and workouts."

AlarmCroc is the alarm clock for people who struggle to wake up in the morning. You set the alarm and pick a wake-up mission. When it rings, the alarm doesn’t go away until the mission is done, so you have to get up and move, think, or speak before your morning starts for real. AlarmCroc is built for heavy snoozers, slow risers, and anyone tired of “five more minutes” turning into an hour. How AlarmCroc works: 1. Set your alarm and choose a wake-up mission before bed 2. When the alarm rings, complete the task in the app 3. The alarm stops only when the mission is finished No half-asleep dismiss. No easy escape. Wake-up missions: - Solve math problems - Do pushups - Take a photo of the sky - Make your bed - Hunt for a random object - Read a Bible verse aloud - Say an affirmation aloud Why people use AlarmCroc: - Break the snooze loop for good - Wake up with action, not willpower - Build a morning routine that actually sticks - Turn “getting out of bed” into a daily win - Stay accountable when mornings are hardest More than a basic alarm: - Real iOS alarms — powered by AlarmKit, so alarms show on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Mission-based wake-ups — the alarm keeps going until you finish - App Block — block distracting apps (and even app deletion) until your mission is complete - Streaks & badges — track consistency and earn achievements over time - Morning insights — see wake times, time-to-rise, sleep trends, and morning memories from photo missions - Alarm Log — compare what’s in the app with what iOS has scheduled, so nothing slips through the cracks - Home Screen widgets — keep your next alarm and streak visible - Unlimited alarms — weekdays, weekends, one-offs, whatever you need Questions, ideas, or feedback?
