A menu bar meal tracker for your cut protocol. Protein and calories at a glance — and your data never leaves your Mac.

1. Grab the latest CutBar-<version>.dmg from Releases.
2. Open the DMG and drag CutBar.app to Applications.
3. Launch it. Look up — it lives in your menu bar.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. The app is signed and notarized. CutBar checks for updates in the background and installs new versions in-place via Sparkle; you can also trigger a check from About CutBar → Check for Updates….

In the menu bar: today's protein (g) and calories, live.

Click it to drop a compact panel with:

• The phase you're currently in — Fasting, Meal 1, Gym, Shake, or Meal 2 — with its time window.
• Progress bars toward your daily protein and calorie targets.
• All three meal slots with the protein logged in each.
• Quick Log — up to three pinned presets from your profile, or + New Entry for anything else.
• Your last three entries (right-click to delete).

CutBar keeps three fixed slots (Meal 1, Post-Gym Shake, Meal 2) and lets you personalize:

• Daily targets (protein, calories, fat, carbs)
• Slot windows and per-slot targets
• Default entry source and restaurant calorie buffer
• Presets, including enabled/pinned state and pinned order for menu-bar Quick Log

• Dashboard — full-day view with a card per slot, targets, and what you've logged.
• Meal History — scrollable list of past days, grouped by date.
• Profile Settings — personalize targets, windows, defaults, and presets.

Open either from the menu bar panel footer.

Everything is stored locally in a SQLite database at ~/Library/Application Support/CutBar/food-log.sqlite. No network calls. No telemetry. No accounts.
