Maroon: simple calorie tracker
Hit protein.
Stay under.
Most calorie apps turn into a second job — log every gram, weigh in every morning, redo the math every month. Maroon strips it down to three numbers: protein, calories, weekly weight. That’s the whole app.
I — Logging
Log a meal in a sentence.
Speak it, paste it, type it, or scan a barcode. “Two eggs, oatmeal with banana, and a cold brew” becomes four entries — calories and protein already attached. Built for the working lunch, not the meal-prep blog.
II — Targets
Targets that adapt.
Every Sunday, Maroon looks at your weight and nudges your calorie and protein numbers up or down. No spreadsheets, no TDEE math, no guessing at maintenance. The targets stay honest as you change.
III — Search
Common. Branded. One search.
Fifty thousand foods — USDA staples, branded products, and common restaurant items. Pick the right serving, add it, move on. No verifying a stranger’s gram counts on a homemade chicken bowl.
IV — Apple Health
Apple Health, built in.
Step on a connected scale or weigh in on your Watch — Maroon picks it up. Calories and protein flow back so your Health rings stay current. We read weight, write macros, and nothing else. Optional. Off in one tap.
V — Templates
Repeat what works.
Save the days you hit. A template is a full day of meals — Workday, Travel day, High protein — you can drop into tomorrow with one tap. Most weeks repeat. Yours can too.
VI — Saved meals
One tap. Logged.
Save the meals you eat on repeat — the usual lunch, the post-workout, that smoothie. Tap once, it’s in. The nineteenth time you log it shouldn’t take longer than the first.
VII — Trend
Weigh in your way. We’ll find the trend.
Body weight wobbles two to three pounds day to day — water, salt, sleep. Maroon smooths the noise into a weekly trend, the only number worth reacting to. A 5.1 lb drop over three months reads as progress, not a panic about Tuesday.
VIII — Common questions
A few things people ask. Before you install.
- Will I have to count macros?
- No. Hit your protein floor and stay under your calorie ceiling. That’s the whole system. Carbs and fat take care of themselves.
- Do I need to weigh in every day?
- No. Once a week — Sunday by default — is enough. Daily is optional if that’s how you prefer it.
- Does it work without Apple Health?
- Yes. Health sync is optional. The app works fully without it; you can log weigh-ins manually.
- Is anything sold or shared?
- No. No ads, no third-party tracking, no data sold. Health metrics stay on your device and in your iCloud account.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. One tap in Settings. Cancel before the trial ends and you’re never charged.
- Is there a free version?
- No. Maroon is a 7-day free trial, then $9.99/month or $49.99/year. No ads, no upsells, no free tier holding features hostage.
