A handwritten notebook page from June and July 2022: each day's three meals with calories and protein, and the day's total at the end of the line.
Orakcal's Today screen on an iPhone: 1176 of 2150 calories, protein, carbs and fat each against its target, water, a 5 Logged button, and a scheduled evening meal waiting to be logged.

Noise down. Simplicity up.

Choose what you track. Keep it simple with just calories, or fine-tune your balance of protein, carbs and fat. Each number shows up once, with nothing else competing for your attention.

Tap a food to log it.

That's your whole daily screen. Log, then get on with your day.

No learning curve. Learn a loop.

Designed for absolute simplicity. Foods, meals and schedules all work the same way, so do it once and you know the whole app.

Food, then Log. Quick logged. It's on today.

If you started today, when would you get there?

It started in a notebook.

At 256 pounds, I thought I had a decent idea of what I was eating. But I was guessing, forgetting, and getting nowhere. What I thought was 300 calories was often closer to 500. I didn’t realize how much those little differences added up.

So I started writing it down. Calories, protein, and a total at the bottom of the page. I ate a lot of the same foods, so most days looked pretty similar. But having it on paper meant I didn’t have to guess. I could see where I stood and focus on one day at a time.

That simple habit changed things for me.

I wanted the same simplicity on my phone. The apps I tried had busy screens, slow logging, and more numbers than I knew what to do with. All I wanted was to log my food, see what mattered, and get on with my day.

So I built Orakcal. It started with what worked in that notebook: a clear picture of today, without making tracking a chore.

More ways to log, without more complexity.

The first version does the essentials: fast logging, clear numbers, nothing in your way. After launch, I’m working on:

  • Logging food from a photo
  • Importing recipes from the sites you already use
  • Syncing across your devices

Planned for after launch. Not in the first version.

Questions

Is Orakcal free?

Free at launch, with no ads, and it stays free for everyone who joins then. Later, the yearly price goes up in steps as more people join. Whatever you start at is what you keep.

Do I need an account?

No. Your data lives on your phone, and your phone's own backup brings it along when you switch devices.

Can I track only calories?

Yes. Simple is calories, Balanced adds protein, Detailed adds carbs and fat. Switch whenever you like.

Will my target change on its own?

Never. Once a week the review looks at your trend and may suggest a small change. You decide.

Is it medical advice?

No. Orakcal is for general tracking. If you have a medical condition or a history of disordered eating, please talk to a professional first.

When can I get it?

Coming to iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist and I'll email you when it's out.
