Protein Tracker is a simple, warm protein tracker for people losing weight on GLP-1 medication. Losing the weight is the easy part — keeping your muscle is what decides how you look and feel when you get there. Setup takes two minutes. Answer a few questions about where you are in your journey and Protein Tracker calculates a personal daily target, with the formula shown — 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilo depending on your phase, never a number from nowhere. MADE FOR SMALLER APPETITES Your day is broken into small, doable meals. The home screen always shows what is left, per day and per meal, so a quiet afternoon never turns into a lost day. LOG A MEAL IN SECONDS Search a built-in database of 250+ common foods, quick-add anything with one line, or save your own foods and favorites. Search works offline. SCAN YOUR PLATE (PRO) Point the camera at a meal and the foods, portions and protein come back filled in. Photos are processed and deleted — never stored, never used for training. PROGRESS WITHOUT PRESSURE Streaks that respect your pace. Choose every day, weekdays only, or a few days a week — on weekdays, a quiet weekend does not break your streak. GENTLE REMINDERS One daily reminder, at the hour you choose, that tells you exactly how many grams are left. For the days when appetite goes quiet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your log stays on your phone. Protein Tracker is free to use. AI Meal Scan is an optional subscription: 3 days free, then billed weekly. Cancel anytime in the App Store. Your protein needs are personal. Protein Tracker offers general education, not medical advice. Talk to your care team about what is right for you.

Slab is a protein tracker that never shows you a calorie. Not buried in settings. Not calculated in the background. One number, all day: grams of protein, and how far you are from your target. Slab requires a subscription to use. Your first month is free, then $29.99 a year or $5.99 a month. THE STACK Everything you log drops in as a block, sized by the protein it added. A dashed line marks your target. You can read your whole day from across the room. ONE TAP The foods you actually eat sit on the home screen, most-logged first. Chicken breast, whey, Greek yogurt, eggs. Tap once and the block drops in. Most days you never leave this screen. FOR EVERYTHING ELSE • Search a catalog built from USDA data and curated by hand, not scraped from restaurant menus • Scan a barcode for anything packaged • Save your own foods once and log them forever • Type any amount, anywhere, and everything is in grams WHAT HISTORY LOOKS LIKE No charts to interpret. Slab answers the only question worth asking: how often do you hit your target. Hit target 24 of the last 30 days. The streak counts days you logged, not days you were perfect, because one bad Sunday shouldn't erase three weeks. WHAT IS NOT IN HERE No calories. No macro wheels. No food photography. No feed. No account to make. No ads. And no premium tier above the subscription you already have — search and barcode are part of the app, not an upsell. Your data stays on your phone and syncs through your own iCloud. It never reaches a server of ours, because we don't have one. Your first month is free. If Slab isn't the fastest way you have ever logged protein, cancel before the month ends and pay nothing. — Slab, yearly: $29.99 per year, with one month free Slab, monthly: $5.99 per month, with one month free Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
