Case Study

From brief to ship

A sharper read on what mattered, what got built, and why it moved the product forward.

01Context

The product promise

Makkuro started as a personal tool — a calorie tracker that does exactly what's needed without the bloat. Log meals quickly, track calories and protein, monitor caffeine intake, and check weight trends over time via HealthKit. Everything stays on-device with zero cloud dependencies. Built in January 2026 with React Native and published on the App Store for anyone who wants the same straightforward experience.

Makkuro is a no-nonsense nutrition tracker built for personal use and published for anyone who wants the same thing: fast calorie and protein logging without subscriptions, accounts, or ads. Track meals, monitor protein intake, log caffeine consumption, and get insights on weight and eating patterns over time — all stored locally on your device with optional Apple HealthKit integration. No data leaves your phone.
