What is TrakMac?

TrakMac is a voice-first macro tracking app for iOS, built for people who train seriously. Instead of searching a food database or scanning barcodes, you describe what you ate out loud — the app uses AI to estimate calories, protein, carbs, and fat, then shows what you have left for the day.

How does voice-first macro tracking work?

You tap the mic on the dashboard, say something like "grilled chicken, maybe six ounces, cup of jasmine rice, broccoli with olive oil", and confirm the transcription. TrakMac uses AI to estimate the macros (calories plus protein, carbs, and fat), and you accept or adjust before logging.

How accurate is AI calorie counting?

For common foods and reasonable portion descriptions, estimates typically fall within about 10% of a weighed log — accurate enough to keep training macros on target, not accurate enough for medical nutrition. The app flags low-confidence estimates and lets you edit any number before saving.

Is TrakMac free?

There's a free 7-day trial with everything unlocked. After that it's a subscription: $7.99/month, or $59.99/year (works out to about $5 a month). That keeps unlimited voice logging, AI macro estimation, and your personalized targets active. No ads.

Does TrakMac work without the internet?

Voice transcription happens on your phone, so that part works offline. Estimating the macros runs on our servers and needs a connection. Your food logs sync when you're online and stay available offline once they've loaded.

Is TrakMac different from MyFitnessPal?

MyFitnessPal is a massive food database you search through manually. TrakMac is a voice interface: you talk, AI does the estimating, there's nothing to look up. TrakMac also builds your calorie and protein targets from your training profile rather than a generic age/weight formula, and those targets get sharper the more you use it.

What data does TrakMac collect?

Your email, profile (height, weight, goals, fitness signals), and your food + workout logs. Food log text is processed by our AI for macro estimation and is never used to train any models. Full details are in the Privacy Policy. We do not collect location, contacts, or advertising identifiers.

Is TrakMac safe for people with eating disorders?

No. TrakMac is designed for strength athletes tracking to optimize training, not for people with disordered eating patterns. The app shows calorie numbers and daily targets prominently, which is counterproductive for recovery. If you have an eating disorder, talk to a qualified clinician instead.

Is TrakMac medical advice?

No. TrakMac produces close-enough estimates for training optimization, not clinical nutrition analysis. If you have a metabolic condition, allergy, pregnancy, or any other medical concern, consult a registered dietitian or physician before making changes based on TrakMac's numbers. See the Medical Disclaimer for the full statement.

Is TrakMac available now?

Yes. TrakMac is live on the App Store with a free 7-day trial. No credit card required to start.
