Questions, answered

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.

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. The app sends the description to Claude (Anthropic's AI) and gets back an estimate — calories plus each macro — which you can accept or adjust before logging.

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.

There's a free two-week trial with every feature unlocked. After that it's a subscription: roughly $4.99/month or $29/year. That buys unlimited voice logs, AI estimation, body-type-aware targets, and future features like the fridge-scan meal suggester.

Voice transcription happens on-device using Apple's Speech framework — that works offline. Macro estimation happens via the Anthropic API, which needs a connection. Your food logs sync via Supabase when you're online and are available offline once loaded.

MyFitnessPal is a massive food database you search through manually. TrakMac is a voice interface powered by AI — there is no database to search. TrakMac also asks about your training (bench max, mile time, muscle-ups, echo bike) and tunes protein + calorie targets to match, instead of using a generic Mifflin-St Jeor formula.

Your email, profile (height, weight, goals, fitness signals), and your food + workout logs. Logs are sent to Anthropic as text for macro estimation (Anthropic does not train on your data). Full details are in the Privacy Policy. We do not collect location, contacts, or advertising identifiers.

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.

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.
