Text version
A Greek yogurt entry is open in the portion editor with the serving set to 350 grams. The serving is moved down to 250 grams. As it moves, the calories, protein, carbs, and fat on screen recalculate for the new portion.
We built PlateStack because our own training was spread across four apps. We use it every day, so we notice when logging gets in the way.
Rewards follow the log. Streaks and XP come from what you record. Reaching a calorie or protein target earns none, so an honest bad day still gets logged.
About the teamLog a meal before it gets cold.
- Barcode and search are unlimited and free.
- Set the portion in grams, the label serving, or one piece. Macros update as you scroll.
- Snap, scan a label, say it, or ask Siri (iPhone). Starter includes 5 AI credits a month: a scan uses 1, a voice entry 2.
- Save your regulars. Unlimited saved foods, meals, and recipes.
Text version
The food search opens and “greek yogurt” is typed. A result is opened, and the serving wheel is turned to two servings. The calories and macros on screen update as the wheel turns.
Your next set is already loaded.
- Start from the plan. Your next workout is waiting on the Train tab.
- Sets, reps, weight, and RIR, with last time beside every set.
- Rest timer and PRs run while you lift. On iPhone, the timer stays on the Lock Screen.
- Bring your history from Strong, Hevy, or any CSV.
- Trends trace back to the sets. A muscle map, strength balance, volume, and PRs, each with the sessions behind it. How progress tracking works.
All free on Starter. 14 and 30 day ranges included.
How the strength log worksText version
A full-body workout is started from the Train tab. A dumbbell bench press set is logged with its weight, reps, and RIR. The rest timer then starts and counts down on screen.
The rest of the day, too.

When you choose an AI feature, your photo, scan, or request goes to Anthropic, and voice audio goes to OpenAI to be transcribed. Scan images are also stored privately in your account until you delete them. See exactly what leaves your phone. Made by a small indie team.
Quick answers.
- Is Starter a free trial?
- No. Starter is free forever, with no countdown. Food search, barcode scanning, manual logging, and workout logging are unlimited.
- Can an AI estimate be wrong?
- Yes. Every estimate is labeled and stays editable before you save it.
- Where do my photos and voice go?
- Only when you use an AI feature. Photo and label scans, food descriptions and Coach requests go through PlateStack’s own server to Anthropic; voice audio goes to OpenAI to be transcribed. Scan photos stay in private storage in your account until you delete them. Progress photos never go to an AI provider, and search and barcode scanning use no AI.
- Does PlateStack show ads or sell my data?
- No ads on any plan, and no data sales. Export and account deletion are inside the app.
- Which phones does it run on?
- iPhone and Android phones. The Apple Watch app, widgets, Live Activities, and Siri are iPhone only. PlateStack is for adults 18 and over.
