MacroLog is macro tracking without the clutter. Log your meals in seconds, see your day at a glance, and get on with your life. YOUR COACH, BUILT IN Ask the AI nutrition coach anything — it knows your goals, your log and your trends. Snap a photo of your plate or describe what you ate, and it estimates the macros and fills in the meal for you. One tap to log it. LOG FAST • Add each meal or snack as you eat it — daily totals build automatically • Search any food and its macros are filled in for you • Scan a barcode and the numbers land straight in your meal • Save your own foods; recents stay one tap away • Ate the same as yesterday? Copy the whole day in one tap SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Day, week and month views in one calm calendar • Goal rings for calories, protein, carbs and fat • Trend charts for every metric • A little streak flame to keep you consistent • A home screen widget with today's macros WATER & WEIGHT, IF YOU WANT Optional one-tap water logging and daily weigh-ins. Turn them on, or keep it macros-only. NEVER LOSE YOUR LOG Everything is backed up automatically from day one — no account or sign-up needed. Link Apple or Google later to bring your log to a new phone. You can delete your account and all data at any time, right from Settings. HELP SHAPE THE APP Post ideas and bug reports on the built-in community board and upvote what should come next. MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED MacroLog requires a paid membership to use: an auto-renewing subscription (monthly, or yearly with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. All features listed above — including the AI coach, barcode scanning, charts, widgets and backup — are included with any active membership; none are sold separately. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings.
