About Gretl: Macro Coach
Track every breadcrumb. Gretl isn't a calorie counter that scolds you. It's a personal health coach that reads the trend instead of judging your day. Tell it what you ate in your own words — "two eggs and toast, and a coffee" — and Gretl does the arithmetic, follows the direction you're heading, and offers gentle, optional coaching. No streaks to break. No shame, ever. LOG IN PLAIN WORDS Describe a meal the way you'd say it out loud, or snap a photo of the plate. Gretl turns it into calories and macros — no database to search, no barcodes to scan, no portion dropdowns. Save the meals you repeat and log them again in one tap. Ate half? Adjust it in a tap. TRENDS, NOT VERDICTS One big dinner isn't a failure and one light day isn't a win. Chart your last 7, 14 or 30 days and watch the direction instead of the noise. Your calorie and macro targets start from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and adapt to the energy balance your own data shows — arithmetic, not vibes. The numbers are deterministic; the coach interprets them, it never invents them. When a target should move, Gretl asks first. A COACH, WHEN YOU WANT ONE Ask a question, log by chatting, or get an honest read on how your week is going. It's there when you want it and quiet when you don't. Everything that costs us nothing is free forever — logging, history, trends, weigh-ins, water, the watch apps, export. Gretl Pro is an optional subscription that raises your daily coaching allowance. ON YOUR WRIST Log by voice from Apple Watch or Wear OS, or just ask Siri — no phone needed. Today's rings are one glance away. MEALS AREN'T MORAL EVENTS This is the whole philosophy. No shame language, anywhere. No "you blew it" notifications. No nagging. Gretl is a tool you open when you want it, not something that pesters you. It reduces the decision fatigue around eating while keeping you fully in control. TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU — AND ONLY THAT • Meals, from plain words or a photo • Weight, as a trend instead of daily noise • Workouts and activity • Water — on by default, off in a tap • Cholesterol — off by default, on if you care Turn one off and it's gone everywhere: the home screen, your charts, the watch, its reminders. Your history is kept, so turning it back on brings it all back. NOTIFICATIONS YOU ASKED FOR Every reminder ships off. Turn on food or water reminders at times you choose, and nothing else ever fires — no streaks, no guilt, nothing because you went quiet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data is yours: export it whenever you like, and erase yourself completely from Settings → Delete account, which removes your account and everything in it. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Gretl offers decision support, not medical advice. For eating disorders, diabetes, medications, or unsafe goals, please talk to a qualified professional. Gretl is built to defer to one when it matters. Follow your breadcrumbs.

What’s new
Version 1.0.0 · Updated September 21, 2026
Barcode scanning. Point your camera at a package and Gretl reads the product's nutrition straight off it, the one place in the app where the numbers are read rather than estimated. The barcode is decoded on your phone; only the digits are ever sent, never a picture. Scanning is part of Gretl Pro, and photographing the nutrition label still works on any plan. Plus a long list of fixes you asked for: reminders that quietly stopped arriving, a weekly check-in that never showed up, labels overlapping on Trends, and re-logged favorites that left their fiber and cholesterol behind. Keep the reports coming, they work.
