Track macros without the usual setup friction.
MacroFactor costs $70/year. MyFitnessPal locks some macro features behind an $80/year subscription. Forge AI is free to try during beta, requires no account, and helps you track protein, carbs, and fat quickly with AI meal logging.
What macro tracking features are available in the beta
Forge AI may add optional premium features later. Right now, the beta includes:
- AI meal logging — describe meals in plain English, get instant macro estimates
- Personalized protein, carb, and fat targets based on your goal
- Barcode scanner for packaged foods
- Daily macro progress with remaining targets
- Full food log history
- AI workout builder and weekly training review
- Weight trend tracking and goal weight planning
Why macro tracking apps charge so much
The subscription model in fitness apps typically bundles coaching, personalized algorithms, cloud sync, and content libraries that justify the price. MacroFactor's adaptive calorie algorithm, for example, adjusts your targets based on actual weight trend data — that's genuinely useful for competitive athletes and serious trackers.
Forge AI is built for people who want straightforward macro tracking and AI-powered logging without the coaching layer. If you need a fast way to log meals and track progress, the beta is open now.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a catch? What's available now?
No catch. Forge AI is in beta, and the current beta features are free to try. Optional premium features may be added later as the app grows.
Do I need an account to set macro goals?
No. Forge AI sets personalized calorie and macro targets (protein, carbs, fat) based on your weight, height, activity, and goal weight without requiring an account.
Will pricing change later?
Possibly. Forge AI is free to try during beta, and optional premium features may be added later. The goal is to keep the beta easy to test while the product takes shape.
