Show HN: I quit MyNetDiary after 3 years of popups and built a calorie tracker
davemuz Sunday, February 22, 2026After three years of hitting the same upgrade popup every time I opened MyNetDiary just to log lunch, I finally gave up searching for an alternative and built one myself.
The whole thing is a single HTML file. No server, no account, no login, no cloud. Data lives on your device only. You open it in a browser, bookmark it, and it works — offline, forever.
The feature I'm most proud of is real-time pacing: it knows your eating window, the current time, and how much you've consumed, and tells you whether you're actually on track — not just what your total is.

Built this for myself after losing weight and just wanting to maintain without an app trying to sell me something every day. If that sounds familiar, give the trial a shot.
