Say what you ate.
Typed or spoken, a few words or a whole paragraph. Saymacro works out the macros and shows you what's left for the day.
Opening soon.
“two scrambled eggs, a slice of sourdough toast with butter, and a flat white”
Read as 2 large eggs, 1 medium slice, 2 pats of butter, a double espresso and half a cup of whole milk. Every figure is looked up in the USDA's SR Legacy tables at those portions — nothing here is estimated. The 2,000 is the FDA's label reference value, not a recommendation; you set your own.
Three ways in, and the slowest is one sentence.
Speak it or type it — the same box either way. Scan anything that came in a packet. And the things you eat most weeks are one tap.
Questions have a tab of their own. Ask answers from your own log — what you've eaten, what's left, what would fit — and can log what it suggests.
- Say it or type it one sentence Tap and speak, or type, whichever suits where you are — the same box and the same result. You see the words before anything is logged, and you can fix them.
- Scan it packaged food More than 440,000 barcodes, read from the USDA's record of the label. No AI, and no waiting on one.
- Tap it again the second time The things you eat often are one tap. Yesterday's whole day is one more.
Every number says where it came from.
Some of what you log is looked up and some of it is estimated. The difference is marked, everywhere the number appears, so you never have to wonder which one you're reading.
- A food you've saved the number you saved
- A barcode you scanned from the label
- A whole food USDA
- A chain's own published figures panerabread.com, Sep 2026
- Anything else ~ before every figure A homemade dish, a restaurant nobody publishes, a portion nobody weighed. It's an estimate and it says so. Tap the number and type what it should be.
What Saymacro doesn't do.
Each of these is left out on purpose. Saymacro is meant to be quick to use and plain about what it knows — a record of what you ate and what's left, not a programme and not a verdict on how you did.
- It doesn't score you No streaks, no badges, no perfect days, no red numbers. A missed day is nothing. “40 g protein to go” is a fact about the day; “you went over” is a verdict about you, and this app doesn't make those.
- It doesn't tell you what to eat It shows you what published formulas give for a target, with the source and the date beside it. You set the target. It isn't a weight-loss programme and it isn't medical advice — confirm a target with a doctor or a registered dietitian.
- It doesn't interrupt a log No ads, ever, and no upsell between you and a logged meal. Scanning a barcode and typing numbers in yourself are never paywalled.
- It doesn't photograph your plate Photo calorie counting is 30–50% off on a mixed plate and disagrees with itself on a re-scan. A sentence you wrote carries more about a meal than a picture of it does.
What gets sent, and what never does.
Saymacro uses Claude, an AI made by Anthropic, to turn what you write into a meal.
- A recording is turned into words, then gone When you speak, the recording goes to Google to be transcribed and the words come back for you to check. Saymacro doesn't keep the recording.
- Your date of birth, sex and health answers are never sent What is sent is what you write, your saved foods, and — when you ask a question — your log and your targets. Never your name, your email or your payment details.
- The parts that don't need AI never use it A food you've saved, a barcode you scan, and numbers you type in yourself never leave Saymacro.
One sentence, and it's logged.
Saymacro is for adults 18 and over.
