I track protein, not calories. So I built a dead-simple tracker for lifters.
Every food-tracking app wants the same things from me: calories, macros, a subscription, an account, a barcode-scanning onboarding flow. I'm a lifter. I don't care about any of that. I care about one number: did I hit my protein today? Protein Pal is the tracker that asks exactly one question. Log what you ate with its protein grams, and watch the big daily total climb toward your goal — default…
I focused on one metric only: protein intake. My tracker, Protein Pal, asks just one question: Did you reach your protein goal today? To use it, log the foods you ate, specifying their protein grams. A daily total climbs toward your objective—180 grams by default, but you can change it.
Logging is quick and simple: tap once to add an item. Recent foods, like your daily chicken breast, can be accessed with a single tap. The progress bar visibly tracks your progress, while per-day history shows your daily totals. All of this works offline, without accounts or servers, directly from your browser. It was created for the Devpost Build With AI: Basics hackathon, following a plan-first approach: sketching the idea, outlining the product requirements, developing a technical specification, and then coding.
The simplicity of protein tracking is the core focus, with no calorie counting, macros, accounts, or social features. If you're looking for an easy way to monitor your protein intake, Protein Pal offers a straightforward solution.
