Macrobell
Calorie counter · Macro tracker · Gym log
Load your macros. Lift the day.
Macrobell counts your food, builds your macros and logs every set, in one app. The barcode scanner is free. There are no ads.
Coming to Android first, then iPhone. Try the web version.
As you scroll, four plates load onto a barbell in the spotlight: red for protein, yellow for carbs, blue for fat and green for fiber, the colors Macrobell uses for your macros.
Log food in seconds
Search it, scan it, snap it.
Search millions of foods from Open Food Facts and USDA, scan a barcode, or copy yesterday’s breakfast in one tap. With Plus, take a photo of your plate and AI fills in the calories and macros for you.
- Goal − Food + Exercise = Remaining, always on screen
- Built-in foods that work offline
- Water, notes and quick add
In the scene, a scan line passes over the yogurt cup and its macros fly out as colored plates and load onto the barbell behind it.
Load your macros
Your day is a loaded bar.
Every macro has a plate color: red for protein, yellow for carbs, blue for fat, green for fiber. As you eat, the plates go on. Hit your numbers and the bar is loaded.
- Protein
- Carbs
- Fat
- Fiber
Targets come from your height, weight, age and activity, with safe limits built in.
Track every set
A gym log that keeps up.
Last time’s numbers sit next to every set. The rest timer starts when you tick one off. Plate and warm-up calculators are built in, and with Plus you can log the next set from your lock screen.
- Animated exercise demos
- Personal records and progress charts
- A muscle map of what you trained today
Last time: 3 × 8 at 155 lb
Rest 1:24 · next set ready at 2:00
See the trend
The scale lies. The trend doesn’t.
Macrobell smooths your daily weigh-ins into a trend line, so a salty dinner doesn’t ruin your week. Watch strength, steps and body measurements move together.
In the scene, the weight trend is a steel rail that falls from 192 to 186.4 pounds over four weeks, with each day’s weigh-in as a chalk dot near it.
Squads
Train with your people.
Start a squad with friends or your gym crew and compete on a weekly leaderboard. Squad members see your name and your weekly percentages, never your weight, calories or body stats.
Trainers: give your clients one squad and see who is putting in the work.

Why Macrobell exists
Built in Palm Springs for people who lift.
Calorie apps keep moving the basics behind a paywall and filling the free version with ads. Macrobell goes the other way: tracking stays free, the barcode scanner stays free, and the extras cost less than a coffee a month.
