PlateStack in plain English

What does PlateStack do?

What is PlateStack?
PlateStack is a daily fitness command center that connects food logging, workouts, recovery, habits, progress, and AI coaching into one clear daily score.
Who is it for?
Everyday gym users, beginners, busy parents, meal preppers, and lifters who want useful tracking without juggling multiple apps.

Starter includes food logging, barcode scanning, workout tracking, Daily Wins, streaks, levels, basic reminders, core progress, and 5 monthly AI logging credits.
The problem

Your fitness day is scattered.

Food apps track meals. Workout apps track sets. Wearables track recovery. Habit apps track checklists. PlateStack connects the whole day.

See what you ate, what you trained, how you recovered, what habits you finished, and what today needs next.

People do not usually quit because they hate progress. They quit because the system is annoying.

PlateStack habits and daily wins
Habits

The small things count too.

Hydration, fasting, mood, energy, goals, and Custom Habits make PlateStack useful even on days you do not lift or scan a meal.

Daily Wins

Automatic wins from meals, workouts, protein, calories, and water keep the daily loop moving.

Hydration

Track water quickly, tune your goal, and let it count toward the day you are building.

Fasting

Use the fasting timer and Premium fasting tools without turning it into wellness theater.

Custom Habits

Premium unlocks personal habits for the routines that support your goal outside the gym.

Built for the practical middle

Built for normal gyms, normal schedules, normal humans.

Planet Fitness, Crunch, YMCA, hotel gyms, home dumbbells, lunch breaks, family chaos, and the occasional Monday restart. That crowd.

Busy parents

Meal prep on Sunday. Log on the go. Keep the process under control.

Gym regulars

Track lifts, macros, PRs, and progress without becoming a spreadsheet person.

Meal preppers

Build the meal once. Re-log it in seconds — no searching, no scanning, no nonsense.

PlateStack workout tracking
How it works

Log. Train. Recover. Check in. Level up.

That is the loop: make the day visible, adjust what needs attention, and come back tomorrow with better context.

  1. 01

    Log a meal

    Snap it, scan it, say it, or search it. The calories and macros land before the fork gets lonely.

  2. 02

    Train with purpose

    Start a workout, move through sets, let the rest timer, plate calculator, and PR detection do their jobs.

  3. 03

    Recover better

    Use recovery signals and body metrics as wellness context beside your training, not as a scary verdict.

  4. 04

    Check in

    Hydration, fasting, mood, energy, goals, and Custom Habits give the rest of your day a place to land.

  5. 05

    Read the score

    Daily Score, trends, quests, and streaks show what is working without making one noisy day the villain.

  6. 06

    Level up

    XP, achievements, Squads, and Streak Shields keep consistency rewarding without the guilt trip.

What's the difference between PlateStack Starter and Premium?
Starter is the useful free version: food logging, barcode scanning, macro tracking, workout logging, saved foods and meals, Daily Wins, streaks, basic reminders, core progress, and 5 monthly AI logging credits. Premium is the power-tool drawer: AI Coach, unlimited AI photo/label/voice logging, 7-day AI meal plans, Custom Habits, pre-window fasting reminders, long-range progress, weekly insights, and advanced Squad & League tools.
What is PlateStack?
PlateStack is the one app that does what most people duct-tape across five apps: nutrition tracking, workout logging, AI coaching, daily quests and streaks, progress, and Squad accountability. The core is free. Premium unlocks the heavier AI and planning tools.
Is PlateStack a calorie tracker?
Yes — and more. Calorie tracking is one of five ways to log food: AI photo scan, nutrition label scan, voice, barcode, or food search across FatSecret, USDA, Open Food Facts, and your saved/recent foods. PlateStack also tracks macros (protein, carbs, fat), workouts, body weight, body fat %, measurements, progress photos, and a daily score from S to F.
Does PlateStack track workouts?
Yes. PlateStack logs strength training (sets, reps, weight) with a 500+ exercise library and automatic personal-record detection, and cardio (duration, distance, calories). It includes a built-in rest timer and tracks volume and PR trends over time. Workout tracking is included on every tier — including free.
Does PlateStack use AI?
Yes, but it is useful AI, not magic-bean AI. Photo scan estimates calories and macros from a meal photo. The AI Coach, powered by Claude, answers with your profile, diet, streak, and recent training in context. The meal-plan generator builds a 7-day plan around your targets. Manual logging stays free.
Can PlateStack help with macros?
Yes. Set custom calorie and macro targets — or pick from six diet presets (Standard, Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Bulking, Cutting). Every food entry tallies against your goals. A live ring on the dashboard shows what's left for the day, and a daily score grades how the day landed.
Does PlateStack have meal planning?
Yes — through the AI 7-day meal plan generator. One tap and the AI Coach builds a week of meals around your calorie and macro targets, respecting your diet preset. You can review the plan, email it, and send ingredients to grocery. Meal planning is included with PlateStack Premium.
Does PlateStack have social accountability?
Yes — through Squads. Create or join a small invite-only group, share a 6-character code (PS-XXXXXX), and earn a Squad streak when at least 70% of your Squad logs activity each day. Cheers and daily-capped nudges keep accountability human, not noisy. Squads are included on every tier.
Is PlateStack free?
Yes. Starter is $0 and useful on purpose: nutrition logging, workout tracking, Daily Wins, food search, barcode scanning, daily quests, levels, streaks, achievements, saved foods and meals, basic reminders, core progress, and 5 monthly AI logging credits. Premium starts where the heavier tools start: Custom Habits, AI Coach, unlimited AI logging, and meal plans at $8.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 7-day free trial on Annual.
How do I delete my PlateStack account?
From inside the app: Settings → Account → Delete account. From outside the app: visit platestackapp.com/delete-account and follow the steps, or email [email protected] from the address tied to your account. All your data is permanently purged within 30 days.
Does the AI Coach replace a trainer or dietitian?
No. The AI Coach is a practical guidance tool, not a substitute for a qualified professional. It can help you understand your macros, suggest meal ideas around your targets, and offer progressive-overload guidance based on your logged lifts. It is not medical advice, dietary prescription, or clinical support. Always consult a qualified trainer, dietitian, or doctor for decisions that affect your health.
How does the 14-day referral program work?
Share your referral code or link from inside PlateStack. When a friend joins with it, they get 14 days of Premium and you get 14 days too. Successful referrals stack. Referral credits have no cash value, which is less exciting than cash but still pretty useful.
Are habits free in PlateStack?
Daily Wins are included free. PlateStack automatically tracks wins when you log a meal, complete a workout, hit your protein goal, stay on calories, or hit your water goal — no setup required. Custom Habits — the ones you create yourself, like taking vitamins, stretching, walking, or building a morning routine — are included with Premium.
What are Daily Wins?
Daily Wins are automatic check-ins PlateStack generates from your activity. Log a meal, complete a workout, hit your protein goal, stay on calories, drink your water — those are Daily Wins. They feed your daily score and streak without you managing a separate habit list.
What are Custom Habits?
Custom Habits are personal routines you create yourself — things like taking vitamins, stretching, walking 8,000 steps, reading 10 minutes, or keeping a sleep schedule. Custom Habits include reminders, history, and insights. They are part of PlateStack Premium.
Why are Custom Habits a Premium feature?
Daily Wins keep the free version genuinely useful without adding another thing to manage. Premium unlocks the personalized habit system for people who want to build their own routines, set custom reminders, and connect habits to their food, workouts, macros, and progress data.
