TrakMac
TrakMac is a voice-first AI-powered macro tracking app designed for serious fitness enthusiasts and lifters. Instead of manually searching for foods or scanning barcodes, users simply speak their meals naturally—for example, describing a grilled chicken breast, rice, and broccoli with olive oil. The app's AI instantly estimates the macro breakdown and logs it, reducing the friction of traditional calorie counting. TrakMac was built by a husband-and-wife team in Los Angeles who were frustrated with existing nutrition apps, aiming to provide a tool that gets users 80% of the way to better habits without perfectionist measurement. Beyond logging, TrakMac sets personalized macro targets based on the user's actual training regimen, not just generic formulas from height and weight. It asks what you do—like 50 minutes of HIIT plus strength training—and adjusts targets accordingly. This approach acknowledges that standard calculators often miss the mark for lifters and highly active individuals. The app positions itself as the "Fitness Fuel App," emphasizing simplicity and speed. It offers a 7-day free trial without requiring a credit card, and is available exclusively on the iOS App Store. TrakMac's philosophy is that capturing approximate intake consistently is more valuable than perfect but unsustainable tracking, making it suitable for those who want to focus on training rather than data entry. TrakMac also provides educational content through its blog and knowledge base, covering topics like voice logging versus barcode scanning, hitting protein targets while on GLP-1 medications, and tracking macros without weighing food. This content supports users in building sustainable nutrition habits aligned with body composition goals.

Problem solved
Many fitness enthusiasts and lifters find traditional macro tracking apps tedious and demotivating. Apps like MyFitnessPal require tedious manual searching, barcode scanning, or precise weighing of every ingredient, which creates friction and leads to abandonment. Additionally, generic calorie and macro recommendations based solely on height and weight often fail for individuals with high or unique training demands. TrakMac addresses these issues by enabling voice-first logging that estimates macros from plain-spoken meal descriptions, significantly reducing logging time, and by personalizing targets based on actual physical activity, making tracking more aligned with the user's real lifestyle.
Use cases
- Quickly logging a post-workout meal by speaking the ingredients instead of typing or scanning
- Maintaining a high-protein diet while on appetite-suppressing GLP-1 medications without precise measurement
- Estimating homemade meals where exact weights aren't available, such as a stir-fry or salad
- Setting realistic macro goals based on a training plan that includes both cardiovascular and strength work
- Replacing barcode-dependent tracking for whole-food-based diets where packaging is absent
