Macrotrack: a free calorie counter, macro tracker and nutrition tracking app for Australia, and an alternative to MyFitnessPal
A calorie counter and macro tracker built around Australian food, and open to everyone else too. Scan a barcode, snap a label, or just type it in. No streaks, no points, no nagging (unless you want us to).

Why track
What a macro tracker is actually for.
Not to make eating a chore. To turn a vague sense of how the week went into a number you can do something with.
Hit your protein target
Protein is the one nearly everyone misses, and the one that changes how full you feel. You see the gap before dinner, rather than after it.
Catch what goes uncounted
Most people are surprised by their own week. Not by the big meals, by the drinks, the sauces and the second helping that never got counted.
Stop guessing in the supermarket
Scan the barcode and the packet's own numbers come back, straight from Open Food Facts and our own Australian database. If a packet is missing, photograph the panel instead.
Eat for the training you are doing
A week of long runs and a week off need different numbers. Give training days their own target and rest days another, or let the app measure your real maintenance from your own data.
Simple enough to stick with
Most tracking stops in week three because logging got tedious. A log here takes a few seconds, works offline, and the things you eat every day can log themselves.
The app
One number for the day. Protein, carbs and fat under it.
Everything else stays out of the way until you go looking for it.
Seven ways to log a foodBarcode, search, typing, meals and daily repeats are free. Pro reads a label or a whole plate from a photo.
A week at a glanceTap any day to see what you ate. Switch the chart between energy and a single macro.
Favourites and mealsSave what you eat often. Build a meal once and log the whole thing as one line.
How it works
Three taps from packet to logged.
Most of what you eat has a barcode. For everything else there is a search, a label reader, and plain typing.
01
Scan the barcode
Point your phone at the packet. The product, its per 100 g figures and the serving size come back in a second.
02
Check the serving
Ate more or less than the pack says? Change the grams. Calories and macros update while you type.
03
Logged
It joins the day's list with the time you ate it. Save it as a favourite and next time it is a single tap.
Installing
Ten seconds, no app store.
Add it to your home screen and it behaves like any other app. Nothing to download, no app store account, and reminders start working.
Reminders need it
A browser tab on iPhone cannot receive notifications. Food, water and fasting reminders only reach you once the app is installed.
Opens on today's total
One tap from your home screen. No address bar, no tab to find, no signing in each time.
Works without a signal
The diary lives on your device and syncs when the connection comes back.

- Sign in and open the Today tab. iOS saves the page you are on.
- Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, then Add.
- Open it from your home screen. Sign in again if it asks.
- Open macrotrack.com.au in Chrome.

Nothing to download, and no app store account. The install is the page you are already on.
The contrast
What you are leaving behind.
Most people arrive here from MyFitnessPal, Cronometer or Lose It, after a nutrition tracking app that got louder every week. This is what changes.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
Do I need to install something from an app store?
No. Open macrotrack.com.au on your phone and add it to your home screen. It opens and behaves like an app, and updates itself.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your day's log lives on your phone and syncs to your account whenever there is a connection.
Can it log the same food every day automatically?
Yes, and it is free. Set a food to repeat at a time you choose, on the days you choose, and Macrotrack logs it for you at that time without you opening anything. The coffee every morning, the same breakfast on weekdays. Auto recurring logs count toward your daily totals but never toward your logging streak, because a schedule is not you showing up. You can skip a single day, pause a repeat, or stop it entirely, and anything already logged stays in your history.
Can it remind me to log my meals?
Yes, and only at the times you choose. Set up to five custom reminders in your own words, like “Log lunch” at 12:15 pm or “Tally up the day” at 8 pm, and each one goes off at that time every day. There are also optional nudges when you have not logged food or water for a while, and those respect your quiet hours. All of it is free.
Where does the barcode data come from?
Open Food Facts, plus our own database of Australian supermarket and chain products. You can correct any figure before you log it.
Is it built for Australia?
It is. Kilojoules and calories are both first class, the barcode database leans Australian, and prices are in AUD. Everyone else is welcome to the free app too: the barcode database is worldwide, so a packet from a supermarket in Manchester or Toronto scans the same way. The label reader knows US, UK and European panels too, and you can set energy to kilojoules or calories and body weight to kilograms, pounds or stones, whichever you grew up with. Pro is only available in Australia and New Zealand for now.
Is there a free alternative to MyFitnessPal in Australia?
This is one. Barcode scanning, search, manual entry, meals, favourites, history, water, weight, reminders and intermittent fasting are all free forever, with no daily cap on how much you log. MyFitnessPal moved barcode scanning to its paid tier; here it is the fastest free path. Pro exists, but it only adds three AI capture methods, never the diary itself.
Can I get my data out?
Any time. Food, weight and water export as CSV from your profile.
What's free, and what's Pro?
Free, forever: barcode scanning, manual entry, meals and favourites, auto recurring logs for the things you eat every day, daily totals, history, water and weight tracking, logging reminders and custom reminders at the times you choose, intermittent fasting with alerts at both edges of your eating window, and offline use. The whole diary, with no payment ever. Pro (AUD $9.95/month or $79/year, in Australia and New Zealand) unlocks the three AI capture methods: photograph a plate, photograph a nutrition panel, or type what you ate in plain words. Pro starts with a 7-day free trial: you enter a card and can cancel any time before it ends without being charged.
How does Macrotrack compare to MyFitnessPal?
Macrotrack is a leaner, Australian-first alternative. Macro and calorie tracking is the whole product: no ads, no streaks, no community feed, no exercise log, and the diary is never paywalled. Kilojoules are first class, the barcode database leans Australian and prices are in AUD. MyFitnessPal is broader, with recipe building, a feed and exercise logging, and it puts barcode scanning behind Premium. If you want a nutrition tracking app that opens on today's numbers and stays out of the way, this is the trade.
Why do I need an account?
So your diary survives switching phones, clearing your browser, or using Macrotrack on the desktop and your phone at the same time. Sign up takes a minute; after that, a 4-digit PIN unlocks the app on return.
Will there be an iOS app?
The web app already runs like a native one on iOS via Safari. A native wrapper is on the roadmap once the web app fully earns its keep.
