What is it?

NutriTrace is a personal food diary and calorie and macro tracker that you host yourself. The server runs as one Docker container, and you use it through a browser PWA or a native Android app. It has no accounts with external services and no telemetry, and data stays on your own hardware unless you enable a third-party integration.

The app covers daily food logging with configurable meal slots, a personal food database, and recipes. Goals can be fixed, dynamic, or adaptive, with adaptive TDEE estimates. Food data can come from Open Food Facts (including an optional local Parquet mirror) or USDA FoodData Central. Wellness data can be pulled from Fitbit, Withings, Garmin, and Health Connect. Multi-user setups support OIDC single sign-on with providers such as Authentik, Keycloak, and Authelia.

The browser app keeps your diary and settings available offline and syncs changes when the connection returns. An optional AI assistant and an MCP server can read your diary and, if explicitly enabled, write entries. The project is AGPL-3.0 licensed and includes migration imports from MyFitnessPal, Lose It, Cronometer, and Waistline.
