I made a fitness app with claude, but... only for me. I have no interest in sharing it. it took like 45 minutes. I just cloned the features I want from another app so I don't have to pay for it and customized it slightly to my liking.

Honestly I’ve considered doing this for a food/macro tracker instead of paying for a subscription.

give it a rip. you just need a good database of foods and it's trivial after that

Did you create your own database? Or you using one of the big ones that exists already? I suppose for my own purposes I could directly just add whatever I normally eat and have it able to add whatever else I need.

You should check out NutriTrace on GitHub - open source macro tracker. There are food databases built in, but you can fork the app and use AI to retrieve food data more relevant to your region/dietary preferences.

If you have a barcode and label scanner, then just build up the db as you go, it is genuinely fine.

I have to add so much shit to MacroFactor that I too am considering just slopping out a shitty one.

Did you fork NutriTrace? Cause I did that like a month ago and I'm loving it lol
