Macro tracking, free during beta. No account required.
Macro tracking apps like MacroFactor charge $70/year. MyFitnessPal's useful features are behind a paywall. Forge AI lets you track protein, carbs, and fat during the beta — and uses AI to estimate macros from meal descriptions so you don't have to search a database.
How it works: Type "salmon teriyaki with white rice and edamame" and Forge AI returns estimated macros in seconds. No searching, no guessing serving sizes, no account setup.

Frequently asked questions
Is Forge AI free during beta?
Yes. Core beta features are available at no cost right now. Optional premium features may be added later.
Do I need to create an account?
No account required. Open the app, set your goals, and start logging. Core logs stay on your device; AI requests process the meal text you submit through Forge AI's backend.
