Stop guessing in the grocery store. Scan any food. Get a verdict in 3 seconds — tuned to YOUR goal. HOW MACROCHECK WORKS: 1) Tell us your goal — cut, bulk, maintain, etc. 2) Scan any product in the grocery store 3) Get a verdict in 3 seconds — buy, skip, or here's better WHY MACROCHECK EXISTS: Calorie counters count. They don't guide. "Healthy" scanners lie. Healthy is relative — Greek yogurt is great if you're cutting, garbage if you're bulking on a 1,200-cal day. MacroCheck is the only app that asks "healthy for what?" before it answers. WHAT YOU GET: • Goal-based verdicts — every food rated against YOUR target, not a generic "healthy" score • Coach's Take — a 3-4 sentence breakdown of why it fits or doesn't, powered by Anthropic's Claude AI • Macro density at a glance — protein per calorie, sugar load, fiber, sodium • Smarter alternatives — when a product fails your goal, we suggest one that doesn't • Backed by real data — Chomp, OpenFoodFacts, and USDA combined, covering over 1M products BUILT FOR: Anyone serious about hitting their fitness goals — and tired of: • Logging every gram by hand • Generic "this is healthy" labels that ignore what you're trying to do • Apps that count but never decide FREE TO TRY: 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime. QUESTIONS WE GET: "Does MacroCheck work without internet?" You need a connection to look up new products. Your profile and recent scans are saved on your phone for offline review. "Do I need an account?" Yes — your goals and history sync to your account so you don't lose them if you switch phones. "Is my data private?" We never sell your data. Payment info is handled by Stripe (web) or Apple (iOS) — we never see it. Questions: support@macrocheck.app NOTE: MacroCheck is a guide, not medical advice. Consult a professional before starting any new diet or nutrition plan.
