PocketPlate

Offline calorie & macro log

Every feature, from the first launch.

No account, no login, no cloud. Everything runs on your device and works fully offline — nothing in this post is hidden behind a wall.

What PocketPlate does

PocketPlate is the calorie and macro tracker that finally respects you: unlimited logging, a real food database, and absolutely no account, cloud, or subscription. Everything you eat and weigh stays on your iPhone, forever.

Why now: MyFitnessPal caps its free tier at 5 foods a day and just buried the food diary behind a redesign that triggered a wave of cancellations. The apps that don't cap you — Cronometer, FatSecret, Lose It — all make you create an account and phone a server for every search. PocketPlate does neither.

What you get:

— A bundled, searchable database of ~15,000 whole foods built from the USDA's public-domain FoodData Central — search and log in a subway, on a plane, anywhere, with zero signal. — Unlimited logging. No 5-food cap. No paywall on the basic diary. Ever. — A clean daily dashboard: calorie budget ring plus protein, carbs, and fat rings, and exactly how much you have left. — On-device goal setup that computes your calorie and macro targets from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — no questionnaire sent anywhere. — Favorites and recents for one-tap logging of the meals you eat every day. — Weight and trend charts, custom foods and recipes, and CSV export to take your data anywhere.

No login. No ads. No internet required — ever. Your food and body data are nobody's business but yours. Download PocketPlate and track on your terms.

  • Export & privacy — Export the full diary to CSV and lock the app with Face ID; nothing ever leaves the device.

Why we built it

People want to log calories and macros with a real food database, but the database-backed trackers (MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, FatSecret) all require an account and a network and cap or monetize logging, while the offline trackers make you type every calorie by hand with no database.

What makes it different

PocketPlate is the only tracker that pairs a searchable, bundled ~15,000-food USDA database with fully offline, no-account, no-subscription operation — Simplest Calorie Counter is offline but forces you to type every number by hand, while MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, and FatSecret have the database but require an account…

Who it's for

Anyone who wants honest tracking without a coach, a subscription, or a streak guilting them at 11pm.
