InputMacroLog is a simple, offline-first app for tracking your daily calorie and protein intake. No account required. No subscription. Your data never leaves your device Log meals your way: Search your personal food catalog and enter a weight in grams, or use Manual Entry to log anything โ€” a home-cooked meal, a restaurant dish, a snack โ€” with a calorie and protein count in seconds. Set goals that fit you: Use the guided calculator to estimate your daily targets based on your weight, height, age, activity level, and fitness goal โ€” whether you want to lose weight, maintain, or build muscle. Or skip the calculator and enter your own numbers directly. See your progress at a glance: The home screen shows your remaining calories and protein for the day with clear progress rings. Add as many meals as you need and watch your totals update in real time. Review your history: Browse past days to see exactly what you logged and how it compares to your targets. Built for privacy: Everything is stored locally on your device using SQLite. There are no servers, no analytics, and no third-party data sharing of any kind.

Tired of weeks blending in? Feeling stuck in life? Want to escape the 9-5 repetitive routine? You need to do more sidequests. Try one new thing every week. Experiment. Have fun! Make memories. Sidequest gives you a small quest every Sunday - cold shower, phone-free morning, cook something you can't pronounce, run a 5k.. Do it for 7 days straight and make yourself a memory. Snap a photo along the way. By December you've got 52 little polaroids and a year that didn't blur into the last one. How it works Every Sunday night, four new quests drop. Three picked for you and one shared for everyone. You pick one and only one. You're in for 7 days. Every day you do the thing and take a photo - one tap, no filters, no editing. The photo gets a date and lands in your scrapbook. Miss a day, that day stays empty. The gaps are part of the record. The point isn't to be perfect. The point is to do things! The community quest One of the four quests each week is the shared one - a pick anyone using the app can opt into. Choose it and you're in alongside everyone else who also picked it that week, your friends included if you can talk them into the same one. After your daily check-in you see how the rest of the cohort answered the day's poll - what they cooked, how cold the shower really was, whether they made it past day three. On the days you almost skipped, it helps. What you get back - A scrapbook that fills up over the year without you having to organise it - Quests you'd actually want to tell someone about - A photo a day, 30 seconds, no streak shame, no badges - A year you can flip back through in December and actually recognise Who it's for Anyone whose weeks have started to feel the same. People who watch other people live and want to do a bit of their own. The friend who hasn't got a story this month. People who don't really want a habit tracker or a journal or another productivity app - they just want a reason to do something different on a Tuesday. Not a habit tracker. Not a journal. Not a productivity dashboard. Just a small dare every Sunday, with a photo to show for it. Things worth knowing - No accounts, no email, no follower counts, no ads - Your photos and notes live on your phone (local-first - they're yours) Got a quest idea or a question? hello@side-quest.lol Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://side-quest.lol/privacy
