You know you "should eat more protein" — but every day is a guess. You track in your head, lose count by dinner, and have no idea if you actually hit your number. PRO.TEIN fixes that in one motion: scan a barcode, protein gets logged, today's square fills in. WATCH YOUR MONTH FILL IN Your home screen is a continuous calendar heatmap — every day you've tracked, at a glance. Darker square, closer to goal. No spreadsheets, no math, just a record you can see. BUILD A STREAK YOU WON'T BREAK Consecutive days at goal become visible momentum. Once the chain is there, you don't want to be the one who breaks it. KNOW YOUR NUMBER IN SECONDS Scan any barcode and protein is logged automatically via Open Food Facts. No manual entry, no searching — just scan and go. STOP GUESSING, START PROGRESSING Consistent protein intake is what actually drives muscle gain and fat loss. PRO.TEIN turns "I think I'm doing okay" into a number you can trust, day after day. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR No clutter, no ads, no distractions — just a clean monochrome calendar and the food you ate. Built for people who train and want the protein to match the work. PRO.TEIN PLUS Free forever: daily logging, barcode scanning, current + previous month archive, home screen widget.

Protein Count

Protein only. Nothing else to type. No calories, no fat, no carbs. Protein Count answers three questions: how much you've had today, how much is left, and where it came from. ā–  Your day in two seconds Open the app and a large ring tells you "82 g / 150 g — 68 g left". The number is the biggest thing on screen. It reads like an instrument, not a form. ā–  One tap to log Keep up to 8 of your usual foods on Home. Tap once and the ring grows immediately. Tapped the wrong one? The toast at the bottom undoes it. ā–  Log from the widget too The Home Screen widget has log buttons built in. Add a serving without opening the app, and see what's left any time. Lock Screen widgets too. ā–  History that shows the streak Days you hit the goal glow with a lime ring on the calendar. A 7-day trend, monthly average and goal rate. The more you log, the clearer your pattern gets. ā–  Never scolds you Missed days aren't painted red. Going over the goal isn't called "too much". It just shows the number. ā–  Stays on your device No account. No login. Everything is stored on your device and never sent anywhere. Protein Count Pro (one-time purchase, not a subscription) Ā· Separate training and rest day goals Ā· Streaks and the monthly summary Ā· Medium widget with the 7-day trend Ā· Export entries as CSV Ā· Missed-entry reminder Logging itself, goals, 8 Quick Add slots, the calendar, the 7-day trend and the small widget stay free forever. Note: Protein Count is a logging and visualization tool, not a medical device. The amounts it suggests are general references. Consult a healthcare professional for health decisions.
