MacroPair is an adaptive nutrition coach built for two people who share meals but not metabolisms — and it works just as well for one. Most trackers hand you a calorie number from a formula and never look back. MacroPair treats that number as a first guess. It reads what you actually log and how your weight actually trends, then retunes each person's targets every week — with a plain-language receipt explaining every change. BUILT FOR TWO • Each partner keeps their own account, targets and history — linked, never merged • Log tonight's stir-fry once; each plate lands on the right person's day • Log for each other on busy days — every entry says who wrote it • The dinner picker suggests meals that fit what you both have left • Leaving a household takes one tap and severs access both ways, instantly COACHING THAT ADAPTS • Weekly target adjustments measured from your data, in kcal — not from averages • Trend weight smooths daily scale noise in lb or kg • Drag your goal on the graph; the forecast and safe-pace band respond live • Rest, travel and sick days are flagged, not punished • Drag the macro split, or pin carbs and let fat absorb — sensible floors in g • Or type your own calories and macros: the plan keeps your numbers and tells you what they cost in weeks LOGGING THAT TAKES SECONDS • Barcode scanner backed by 500,000+ foods, freshness-checked against live sources • Point the camera at any nutrition label — or upload a photo — and it becomes a food, sanity-checked • When a barcode is unknown, one label photo fixes it for every MacroPair user, forever • Recipes by hand or from a URL, favorites, usual meals, copy yesterday • Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are always on the day — add straight into one and plan tomorrow tonight • Siri shortcuts for hands-free logging • A home-screen widget keeps today's ring one glance away • Works fully offline; everything syncs when you're back PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads, no data sales — subscriptions are the business model, full stop • Delete your account and data in the app, anytime • Household sharing is mutual, explicit and revocable MacroPair builds plans for people 13 and over. Under 18 it coaches maintenance only — never a weight-loss deficit.
