Welcome to Meal of Record¶
Meal of Record is a calorie and macro tracker that lives entirely on your phone. It's built to be fast, flexible, and private — no accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud dependency.
Why Meal of Record?¶
- Fast — Search, tap, log. Barcode scanning, quick-add shortcuts, and a queue system that lets you build a whole meal before committing it.
- Private — Your data stays on your device. Backups go to your own NAS or a file you control, never to someone else's server.
- Flexible — Create your own foods, build recipes, define custom serving sizes, and adjust everything to match how you actually eat.
- Accurate — A built-in versioning system means your past logs always reflect what you actually ate, even if you update a food's nutrition later.
Where to Start¶
Setting up goals first? Head to Goals & Weight Tracking to configure your calorie targets, macros, and weight tracking. This gives you the most useful experience from day one.
