TrakMac
Voice-first macro tracking for fitness enthusiasts: describe what you ate and it estimates your macros.
What is TrakMac?
TrakMac is a voice-first, AI-assisted macro tracking app for iOS aimed at people who train seriously. Instead of searching a food database or scanning barcodes, you speak what you ate and the app estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, then shows what you have left for the day. It builds calorie and protein targets from your training profile rather than a generic age and weight formula. It is built by a husband and wife team, John and Gaelyn Jenkins, under What We Do Collective in Los Angeles.
Key Features
Voice food logging
tap the mic, describe a meal in plain language and confirm the transcription to log it.
AI macro estimation
estimates calories plus protein, carbohydrates and fat from your spoken meal description.
Training-based targets
sets calorie and protein targets from your actual training profile rather than a generic age and weight formula.
Editable estimates
flags low-confidence numbers and lets you adjust any value before saving.
Daily remaining view
shows what macros you have left for the day after each log.
Offline transcription
voice transcription runs on the phone and works without a connection, while macro estimation runs on the server.
Privacy-conscious data handling
food log text is processed for estimation only and is not used to train models; no location, contacts or advertising identifiers collected.
Pros & Cons
Advantages
- Logging by voice removes the friction of searching a database or scanning barcodes for plated, home-cooked food.
- Targets are tied to your training profile rather than a one-size-fits-all formula, which suits lifters and strength athletes.
- Pricing is clear and modest, with a 7-day free trial that needs no credit card.
- The app is ad-free and states it does not collect location, contacts or advertising identifiers.
- Estimates can be reviewed and edited before saving, and low-confidence items are flagged.
Limitations
- Available on iOS only, with no Android or web version mentioned.
- Macro figures are approximations (typically within about 10% of a weighed log), not exact or clinical nutrition analysis.
- Macro estimation needs an internet connection because it runs on the company servers.
- The app is explicitly not suitable for people with eating disorders, and is not medical or dietary advice.
Use Cases
Lifters and strength athletes who want macro targets matched to their training rather than a generic formula.
People who find database search and barcode scanning too tedious to keep logging meals consistently.
Anyone tracking home-cooked or plated meals that do not have barcodes.
Users on a GLP-1 medication trying to hit protein targets while appetite is reduced.
People who want a quick, approximate daily macro view to support body composition goals without weighing every food.
