An offline-first calorie and macro tracker: barcode scanning, an offline food database and a target that adapts to your weight. Everything stays on the phone.

Diary for today: calories left, macros and a protein tip

Problem

Most calorie trackers want an account, push a subscription and send your eating habits to a server. Logging also has to be quick enough to do at every meal, or people stop.

Solution

Calories keeps the whole diary in a database on the phone, with no account. Foods come from a bundled copy of the ANSES-CIQUAL food table that works offline, from Open Food Facts by search or barcode, or from your own foods, in units such as “large egg” or “slice”. Meals and recipes can be saved and copied to another day. The daily target is calculated from your profile and adjusted by weekly weigh-ins, and the protein target comes with concrete food suggestions. Apple Health and Health Connect sync, reminders and backups complete it.
