Yolkie: The protein tracker for the gym

Track your meals and workouts. Your chick keeps you going.

Still in the egg. Hatching in a few weeks.

You train hard.

Some days you miss your protein and don’t even notice.

Calorie apps are too much work.

Weigh every gram? Ugh… might as well quit.

So we made Yolkie.

An app to help you make progress and eat better every day.

Food and workouts in one place.

See your protein, calories and training on one screen.

Plus a chick.

It eats with you. Skip a meal and it judges you.

A day with Yolkie

Log a meal. Pick a recent one or scan the barcode.

The Log screen: recent meals with their protein, search and a barcode button.

Log your workout. Push, pull, legs or rest day.

The Today screen after legs day. The chick says: Legs done. Stairs are your problem now.

See what to eat next. One idea to hit your protein for the day.

The Today screen: 96 of 156 g protein, on track, and an idea for the next meal.

A chick that eats with you

Every meal you log feeds it. Keep logging and it grows.

The hungry chick on the Today screen: Feed me. I’m not picky. That’s a lie.
“Feed me. I’m not picky. That’s a lie.”
The streak: 12 days in a row and a calendar of the days you logged.
Miss a day, keep the streak.

How your week went

Daily protein next to your target, so you see the bad days.

Insights: protein for each day this week next to the target.
Seven days of protein.
Habits: days logged, training days, best streak and a calendar.
Every day you showed up.

Train with friends

Nudge a friend or beat them in a weekly league. They never see what you eat.

Friends: your league rank and friends you can nudge.
Nudge the ones slacking off.
The weekly league: ten chicks ranked by points.
A new league every week.

Dress it up

Every day you log earns hats and backgrounds. No real money.

Backgrounds: drawn scenes, each with a joke sign.
Every background has a joke sign.
The shop: hats and glasses for the chick.
Hats. Obviously.

How much protein do you need?

If you lift, aim for 1.6 to 2.2 g per kg of body weight a day. Type your weight.

128–176 g a day. About 38 g per meal, over four meals. That’s a lot of eggs. Don’t look at me.

The quiz: What’s the goal? Build muscle, lean bulk, maintain or cut.
The app sets your target from ten quick questions.

Free means free

  • Logging is free.
  • So is the barcode scanner.
  • No ads, ever.
  • Your chick grows either way.

Rather not see the numbers? Hide them.

What is Yolkie?

A protein and workout tracker for the gym. You log what you eat, a cartoon chick eats with you, and the app tells you what to eat next.

When can I get it?

In a few weeks, on iPhone, Android and the web. Follow Yolkie on TikTok to hear first.

Is it free?

Yes. Logging, the barcode scanner, friends and the chick are free, with no ads. Yolkie Gold, the paid plan, plans your day and updates your targets every week.

Do I have to count calories?

No. Protein comes first. Calories are there if you want them, and you can hide them.

Is it a weight-loss app?

It’s for people who lift, whether you’re bulking, maintaining or cutting. It never rewards eating less.

What if I skip a day?

Your chick gets hungry, then gets over it. Rest days never break your streak.
