Portionary Food Tracker

Portionary is a food tracker for people who cook at home. Log real portions in seconds, build recipes from the ingredients you actually use, and track calories, protein, fiber, carbs, sugar, and fat for each person in your household. MADE FOR HOME-COOKED FOOD Most food logs start with a database guess. Portionary lets you save your own ingredients and recipes, then scale nutrition by the portion you actually serve. If you weigh a finished recipe, Portionary uses that cooked weight so each slice, scoop, ounce, or gram reflects the real batch. FAST LOGGING Search a curated food catalog with whole foods ranked first, scan a barcode for packaged items, tap favorites and recents, or use a quick calorie estimate when you just need to get it logged. HOUSEHOLD TARGETS Create profiles for yourself and the people at your table. Each member gets their own calorie and macro targets, identity color, and daily log. Log the same food for another person in the same save when everyone is eating together. RECIPES AND PANTRY Save staples, custom ingredients, and reusable recipes. Build a recipe from raw ingredients, finished weight, or servings, then log the real portion later without digging through lookalikes. PROGRESS WITHOUT NOISE Review today, this week, and longer trends for calories, protein, meal timing, and budget days. Log weigh-ins to see how recent intake compares with your goal and forecast. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your household data lives on your phone. Portionary works without an account, and optional household sync uses a shared code when you want your own devices to stay in agreement. No ads, no social feed, no exercise calories, no streak pressure. Portionary is for people who cook, portion, and want to know what is really on the plate.
