Everything you need to know about MacroLog.

What is MacroLog?
MacroLog is an AI-powered calorie and macro tracking app for iOS and Android. It lets you log meals in seconds using photo recognition, voice input, barcode scanning, or manual search — no tedious manual entry required. Whether you are cutting, bulking, or simply eating more mindfully, MacroLog makes it effortless. Learn more on our about page.
How does AI photo tracking work?
Point your camera at any meal and MacroLog's AI vision instantly identifies the food and estimates its nutritional values — calories, protein, carbs, and fat. It works with single items, full plates, and even restaurant meals. Each result includes a confidence score so you always know how reliable the estimate is. Read more about how AI is changing nutrition tracking.
Is MacroLog free?
Yes. MacroLog's core features are completely free — unlimited barcode scanning, manual food search, basic stats, and local storage. Pro features like AI photo recognition and voice logging are available with a MacroLog Pro subscription, which also includes a free trial so you can try everything before committing. Download MacroLog to get started.
What platforms is MacroLog available on?
MacroLog is available on both iOS (iPhone) and Android. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play.
Does MacroLog require internet?
Yes. MacroLog requires an internet connection to function. All food logging methods, including AI photo recognition, voice logging, barcode scanning, and food search, rely on cloud services to look up nutritional data and process your inputs. Your food logs are stored locally on your device for privacy, but an active connection is needed to log new meals.
How accurate is the AI food recognition?
MacroLog's AI provides reliable estimates for most common meals. Each recognized item includes a confidence indicator — a yellow dot means lower confidence and suggests you review the estimate manually. For packaged foods, barcode scanning gives you exact nutrition data straight from the manufacturer.
Can I track macros (protein, carbs, fat)?
Absolutely. MacroLog tracks calories along with all three macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Your dashboard shows daily progress bars for each macro based on personalized goals that are calculated during onboarding based on your body metrics and fitness goals. Use our macro calculator to find your ideal split.
How does voice logging work?
Tap the voice button in the Super Logger and describe what you ate — for example, "two eggs and a slice of toast with butter." MacroLog transcribes your speech, identifies the foods, and logs the nutritional data automatically. It is the fastest way to log a meal when your hands are busy.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Your nutrition data is stored locally on your device. MacroLog does not sell your data and does not show ads. When you use AI features, only the photo or voice clip is sent for analysis — no personal information is attached. Your health data stays yours alone.
How do I scan barcodes?
Open the Super Logger from the dashboard and select the Scanner tab. Point your camera at any food product's barcode and MacroLog instantly retrieves the nutrition information from a global database of millions of products. It works with most packaged foods worldwide. Learn more about barcode scanning for nutrition tracking.
Can I create custom meals and recipes?
Yes. You can save frequently eaten meals as templates so you can log them again with a single tap. This is perfect for meals you eat regularly — breakfast combos, go-to lunches, or favorite recipes. Save once, reuse anytime.
