notch is a calorie counter and weight tracker built on three simple ideas that work.

One: all calorie counting is guesswork. The number you get from scanning a barcode or searching a database of fourteen million foods is an estimate, just like yours. You got to yours in under thirty seconds. They made you jump through scanning, photographing, and database lookups to arrive at the same imprecise result.

Two: consistency beats precision. Showing up every day with an honest estimate changes behavior. Obsessing over the exact number does not. Research, and anyone who has managed their weight consistently, back it.

Three: the trend is what matters. Your weight tomorrow will be different from today — water, digestion, sleep, a heavy dinner — any of it can move the number without moving the trend. What the scale says on any given morning is noise. What your exponential moving average is doing over weeks is the signal.

CALORIE TRACKING

• Tap to add calories — no food names, no meal entries, just the number
• Set a daily calorie target or let notch calculate one for you
• 24-hour timeline shows when you ate and roughly how much
• Tap back through previous days to review or correct your log
• Edit past days directly — backfill any missed entries
• Long-press to lock the tap button against accidental presses
• Logging reminders during your eating hours, free for all users

WEIGHT TRACKING

• Log your weight daily in kg or lbs
• Exponential moving average cuts through daily noise to show the real trend
• Set a goal weight with a projected arrival date
• Weekly and monthly weight charts alongside your calorie reports
• Weight log included in backup and restore

INTERMITTENT FASTING

• Set a custom eating window or choose a preset (12:12 through 18:6)
• Fasting hours shaded on the 24-hour calorie timeline
• Tap button locks automatically when your window closes, unlocks when it opens
• Reminders pause automatically during your fasting window

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No account. No login. No cloud sync.
• Calorie entries, weight log, and settings stored as private files on your device
• Works completely offline, always
• No server. We did not build one because we did not want your data.

WHO THIS IS FOR

If you have used a calorie tracker before and found it useful but exhausting — the food databases, the barcode scanning, the meal logging overhead — notch is built for you. notch is the calorie counter you will still be opening in six months, because opening it takes one tap and there is nothing in between that requires your patience. Make it a habit, and you've discovered the simplest way to manage your weight.

MAKE IT YOURS

Three button styles. Three color themes. Three typefaces. Weekly and monthly calorie and weight reports. Because you will look at this screen every day and it should not irritate you.

FREE AND PRO

notch is free to download. A small ad sits at the bottom of the screen.

notch Pro removes the ad and unlocks an always-on notification — tap it to log calories without opening the app. Advanced insights coming soon.

THE FINE PRINT ON PRIVACY

Your calorie entries, weight log, and settings are stored exclusively on your device as private files. To keep the app sustainable, we use Google AdMob for a small ad banner (which uses location data for ad delivery) and RevenueCat to handle premium billing (which registers purchase history).
