Features

Macroline does fewer things than other trackers. It does them honestly.

Describe

Say it in plain words.

Type it, or dictate it — the web app has a mic button, and on iPhone the keyboard's dictation key does the same job. "I had a chicken caesar wrap with extra parmesan and a coke." Macroline parses the description, finds matching foods (or researches them on the fly), and logs the right portions. You confirm with quantity sliders before anything saves.

Free tier: 3/day · Pro: unlimited

Provenance

Every food, sourced.

USDA FoodData Central, OpenFoodFacts barcoded products, and official chain restaurant nutrition. Every food row carries a source URL — tap any number to see where it came from. No more wondering if "chicken breast" entry #3 is the one with the right macros.

Barcode scanning is free and unlimited. When a code isn't in the database yet, free accounts get 3 research lookups a day.

Search results with each food labeled by its real source

Log from anywhere

Log from Claude. Or ChatGPT. Anywhere.

Macroline runs as an MCP server, so any modern AI assistant can log meals for you. Talk to Claude on your laptop, ChatGPT on your phone, or any MCP-compatible client — it all lands in your diary. The food database, your goals, and your daily summary are all available as tools.

Pro feature. See setup guide →

Honest dashboards

Trends, not streak shame.

30-day rolling averages, weight history, calorie trends, macro stacks. Charts adopt the color of your dominant data tier — when most of your week is estimated, your calorie chart says so. Tracking is for awareness, not punishment.

No fasting nudges, no "you ate too much" copy.

History showing the weight trend and a macro breakdown

Research agent finds the missing foods

Mention "Olive Garden herb-grilled salmon"? If we don't have it, our research agent fetches the official nutrition page, parses it, and caches the result with a citation. Every Macroline user benefits.

Pro feature.

Goals that fit your life

Cut, maintain, bulk, lifter. Pick a starting point and fine-tune calories or macros any time. Your goal is yours — Macroline doesn't moralize about it.

Free.

Your data, your call

One-tap account deletion that really deletes: your diary, weights, medications and body log go with it. We don't sell data, run ads, or use your meal content to train AI models.

Free.

Protein target, calculated

Enter your weight and goal, get a starting protein number to track toward. It's a starting point; adjust it with your dietitian.

Free.

Your usuals, a couple of taps away

You don't eat a thousand foods, you eat the same twenty. Re-log them from Recents without searching.

Free.

Trends, not noise

Sync your weight and watch the multi-week trend line instead of the daily bounce.

Free.

Built for GLP-1

Log your dose and side effects, and see your dose-in-system across the week. Macroline is not medical advice. The GLP-1 walkthrough →

Free.

Your body keeps a record too

Bathroom breaks, how you feel, supplements and your cycle — one tap each, next to your meals. Switch on only the sections you want; the rest stay hidden.

Free.

A weekly recap that welcomes you back

One summary at the end of the week: your trend, your protein, what you discovered. Written to bring you back after a gap, not to scold you for it.

Free.

A coach that reads your own data

Compares what you actually ate with how your weight actually moved, then suggests a calorie target from that instead of a formula. It needs about two weeks of logging before it can say anything useful, and it never changes your goal on its own.

Pro.

A home screen that gets out of the way

Today's calories, protein, your trend, and your usuals, all at a glance.

Free.
