Makkuro is a straightforward nutrition tracker that does what you need without the extras you don't. I built this to be a simple & fuss free nutrition tracker that fit my main goals: • Quick & easy food logging • Easy to add food items and preset-meals (for example, lunchboxes you've made) • See progress over time What's included: • Log meals throughout the day • Track calories & protein intake • Build a library of your go-to foods • Quick entry for simple logging • Save meal templates for repeated entries • View insights and progress charts • Optional HealthKit integration for weight tracking What this app hasn't got: • Subscriptions, costs • Accounts or cloud syncing • Ads • Social features • Meal plans or coaching Simple tracking. Everything you log stays on your device so your data is yours. The app is fully offline.
