Voice-first macro tracking for fitness enthusiasts. Tell TrakMac what you ate, in plain language, and it returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. No weighing, no barcodes, no database. A formula built from you and your training gets you to about 90% of true. Consider it TrakMac'd™.
Product Hunt
@curiouskitty The cut list basically was the product. One rule between for this build (with some missteps along the way): nothing that turns logging back into work. Barcode scanning, photo capture, micronutrient breakdowns, they all look great in a feature list and they all add a step. And a step is exactly where people bail. Recipes and coaching are a different app entirely at this point. What we wanted was one thing done well: say it, done. We can layer the rest in once the core habit sticks, but we're not bolting on friction just to look more complete.
Refocus
The "tracking should take four seconds, not four minutes" line nails it. Friction is what kills these habits, not accuracy. I build voice AI for older adults and see the exact same pattern: the moment input feels like a chore, people stop. Curious how you handle compound phrases like "half the burrito, no rice." Does the formula re-estimate on the fly, or do people correct it afterward? Voice-first feels like the right call for this.
@igorgurovich Appreciate this, lots to unpack. Your work with older adults is a perfect proof point: the moment input feels like a chore, you've lost them. On the compound phrases, it re-estimates on the fly. 'Half the burrito, no rice' gets parsed for the modifiers and the macros adjust live, nothing to circle back and fix. Making people correct it afterward is just friction wearing a different outfit. We're betting 80% correct is what gets people on the path to better habits, and when you do fix a macro, it logs that change, remembers it, and factors it into your next log. We're still fine-tuning accuracy, but our audience is the people looking for a little humanity in a macro tracker. Voice-first is exactly the bet, and it means a lot hearing that from someone who lives in this space.
Quick one for anyone who couldn't get the code to go through earlier: give it another shot now, it should be working. If it still doesn't, drop me a note here and I'll fix you up.

I think you've identified the biggest reason people stop tracking: it's simply too much work. Most people start with good intentions, but logging every meal quickly becomes a chore.
The voice-first approach sounds really convenient, especially for busy days when you don't want to spend time searching databases and entering details manually.
I like the focus on being fast and practical rather than aiming for perfect precision. If it makes tracking easier to stick with, that's a big win.
Anyway, congrats on your launch! 🎉
@gabriella_anjani Thank you, that means a lot! You nailed the whole reason this thing exists. My wife and I kept starting and quitting every tracker out there because logging turned into a second job by week two. Voice-first came straight out of that frustration. You should be able to just say what you ate and get on with your day. Speed over perfect precision is the bet, and so far it's the thing that's actually kept us tracking. Appreciate you taking the time to really dig into it. 🙏
