Free, open source, no account
Two numbers. Every day. Nothing else.
ProteinPulse tracks calories and protein against a goal you set. No food database to search, no login screen, and no server that ever sees what you eat.
Most trackers assume you want the hard part
Searching a food database for a number you already know from the label. Creating an account to log a chicken breast. Sending your eating habits to a company's server so it can show you ads later. ProteinPulse skips all three.
How it works
-
01
Set a goal once
Calories and protein. It carries forward every day until you set a new one, so you never re-enter it.
-
02
Log as you eat
Type the numbers you already know, tap add, done in under ten seconds.
-
03
Watch the ring fill
See exactly how much room is left today, then check the Week, Month, or Year view for the bigger picture.
What you get
Local-first and private
Every entry lives in your browser's local storage. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to export it.
Real spreadsheet export
One click writes a real .xlsx file, two sheets, openable in Excel or Google Sheets. Import it back on any device.
Charted history
Week, Month, and Year views roll up your totals with charts, not just tables, plus your calorie:protein ratio at a glance.
Carry-forward goals
Set a calorie and protein goal once. It applies to every day going forward until you change it.
No account, ever
No signup, no password, no email. Open the page and start logging.
Free and open source
No premium tier, no ads. Read the code, fork it, or self-host it yourself.
Why it's different
- No number lookup, ever. You always type the number you already know; ProteinPulse never asks you to search a food database.
- Your data never leaves your machine. No analytics, no third-party requests, no server round trip for core logging.
- Ten-second logging beats perfect data. Speed wins every time it conflicts with completeness, which is why a food label is optional.
Questions
Do I need to create an account?
No. There are no accounts, logins, or passwords anywhere in the app.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser's local storage, on your device only. Nothing is sent to a server.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Your log is lost unless you've exported it. Export regularly to an .xlsx file as a backup.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It's fully responsive and works in any modern mobile browser. There's no native app.
Does it track carbs, fat, or other nutrients?
Not yet. It's intentionally scoped to calories and protein for now.
Is it really free?
Yes. It's free and open source, with no premium tier planned for the core logging and export features.
