The menu bar app that keeps your daily protein goal front and center — effortlessly.
Protein is the macro that matters most for fitness, body composition, and metabolic health — and it's the one most people consistently under-eat. Protein Tracker makes it effortless to stay on track with real-time feedback, a database of 400,000+ foods, and smart AI-powered tools.
It lives quietly in your Mac's menu bar — no Dock clutter, no subscriptions, no monthly fees. Just open it when you need it and your running total is always there.
Your protein total is always visible. The icon turns green with a ✅ the moment you hit your goal. One click to open, click outside to close.
Set your daily protein target on first launch — presets (100–200g) or any custom value. Change it any time in Settings.
