Ember now features a powerful AI nutrition coach, get personalized advice for weight loss, muscle gain, or healthier eating. Track calories and macros in seconds by snapping a photo or describing your meal. No barcode scanning. No manual search. Stay consistent and reach your goals, without the friction.
Every calorie tracking app I have tried dies in week three, not because the tracking is hard but because logging starts to feel like homework and people abandon it. Your AI coach addition is interesting here because the real retention problem is not accuracy, it is motivation and the feeling that someone is paying attention.
Curious whether the coach is purely reactive (you ask it something and it answers) or whether it proactively reaches out when it notices patterns, like three days of low protein or skipping tracking altogether. That proactive layer is where I think this category can actually change behavior rather than just measure it.

Who hunted Ember?
Ember was hunted by Mus. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
