What you eat, cook and train. In one place your assistant can read.
Marla keeps your nutrition, recipes, meal plan, shopping list and workouts together. Connect Claude or ChatGPT, and it logs your lunch from a photo, plans next week’s dinners and coaches your training from what actually happened.
AssistantLogged: chicken bowl, 540 kcal, 42 g protein. You have 58 g protein to go today.
The problem
Five apps, and none of them talk to each other
You want to eat well, cook at home and train with a plan. So you collect apps.
Logging wears you out
Every meal means searching, weighing and tapping. By Thursday you stop, and the numbers stop meaning anything.
The kitchen lives somewhere else
Recipes in one app, the week’s plan on a note, the shopping list on the fridge. Two people buy the same thing twice, and nobody buys the lemons.
Your training plan does not know what you ate
A long run tomorrow, a rest day today, and your targets look the same. The workout app and the food app have never met.
Your assistant could help, but sees nothing
Claude and ChatGPT are good at planning and estimating. Without your data they give you generic advice and forget it by tomorrow.
The problem is not motivation. It is that the information is scattered.
The idea
The app captures. Your assistant reasons.
Marla is one place for what you eat, cook and train, built for iPhone and Apple Watch. It is quick to tap into and it keeps everything in one record.
Marla has no chatbot of its own. You already have one. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant, and it can read your day and write to it, as you, with your permission.
Marla captures
Meals, water and your shake, in a few taps
Recipes, the week’s plan and a shared shopping list
Every set on iPhone or Apple Watch, with heart rate
Daily summaries from Apple Health
Your assistant reasons
Estimates a plate from a photo and logs it
Plans dinners from the recipes you already cook
Builds a training plan backwards from your race
Reviews the week and adjusts your targets
A day with Marla
What it looks like on a Tuesday
No new habits to build. Marla fits into the moments you already have.
Today
Your rings show calories, protein, carbs, fat and water. It is a training day, so the targets are already the training-day targets.
Lunch
You photograph your bowl in Claude and say “add this to Marla”. Claude estimates the items and grams, Marla stores them, and your rings move.
Dinner
Tonight’s recipe is on the plan. The shopping list is shared with your partner, sorted by aisle and by store. Whoever passes the shop ticks it off.
Gym
You start the session on your phone and your Apple Watch joins in. Sets sync between both, heart rate records, and the workout lands in Apple Health.
Evening
You ask your assistant how the week is going. It reads your meals, workouts and sleep in Marla and tells you what to change tomorrow.
Everything in one place
Five jobs, one app
Each part works on its own. Together they give your assistant the whole picture.
Nutrition without the friction
Rings for calories, protein, carbs, fat and water, and one line that tells you where you stand.
Log from your recent foods, scan a barcode or pick a portion like “1 pack”
Search starts with what is sold in your country and your shops
Training days and rest days get their own targets automatically
Water and your shake in one tap on the Watch, even without your phone
A kitchen for the whole household
Recipes, the weekly meal plan and the shopping list are shared. What you eat and how you train stays yours.
Your recipes, with macros per serving
A weekly plan for everyone who eats at home
One shopping list, consolidated into amounts you can actually buy
Grouped by aisle and by store, so the online order and the Saturday trip work from the same list
Lifting on iPhone and Apple Watch
Start on either device. Both show the same workout, and every set you finish counts on both.
Routines and planned sessions you start with one tap
Heart rate and calories from the Watch, saved to Apple Health
A library of over 500 exercises, each with a how-to guide and a muscle map
Runs and rides come from Apple Fitness, through Apple Health
Coaching through your assistant
Tell your assistant what you want: a first 10 k, stronger squats, two kilos less. Marla keeps the goals, the plan and the progress.
Goals track themselves from your workouts, runs and measurements
A race date turns into a plan that counts back from the start line
Plans use real exercises from the library, never made-up ones
Change a session in the app and your assistant sees what you changed
Your health data, summarised
Weight, body fat, resting heart rate, HRV, VO2 max, steps and sleep, as one row a day.
Your iPhone sends daily summaries from Apple Health; the raw data stays on your phone
Trends your assistant can read when it plans
Everything visible to you first, in the app
Privacy
Your data, your rules
Health data deserves more care than a feature list. These are the rules Marla runs on.
Stored in the EU
Marla runs on servers in the European Union, operated by a European company.
Explicit consent
Marla stores health data only after you agree to it, separately from the terms. You can withdraw it at any time.
Export and delete
Download everything as a file, or delete your account in one step, from the app.
No ads, no data sale
Marla shows no ads and never sells or shares your data with advertisers or data brokers. This website does not track you either.
You decide who connects
An assistant gets access only after you sign in and allow it. You see every connected assistant in Settings and can disconnect it at once.
Nothing is bought for you
Marla never buys, sends or posts anything. Shopping lists are for you, or for an order you confirm yourself.
Connecting your assistant
Three steps, about two minutes
Marla is not yet listed inside Claude or ChatGPT, so you add it once by its address. The guide walks you through it.
Get Marla
Install the app and create your account. It takes a minute.
Add Marla to your assistant
In Claude or ChatGPT, add a custom connector with Marla’s address. Easiest on a computer, in the browser.
Sign in and ask
Sign in to Marla, allow access, and ask: “What is on today in Marla?”
Marla is free at launch. If a paid plan comes later, you hear about it before anything changes, and everything you have logged stays yours.
Which assistants work with Marla?
Claude and ChatGPT, and any other assistant that supports MCP connectors with sign-in. Claude Code works too.
Do I need a paid AI subscription?
You need an account with your assistant. Claude lets you add custom connectors on every plan; the free plan allows one. In ChatGPT you add Marla as a custom MCP server under Customize → Plugins; whether that is available can depend on your plan.
Can I use Marla without an assistant?
Yes. Logging, recipes, the meal plan, the shopping list and workouts all work in the app. The assistant adds the planning and the photo logging.
Is there an Android version?
No. Marla is built for iPhone and Apple Watch, where it can work with Apple Health.
Is my health data safe?
It is stored in the EU, only with your explicit consent, never sold and never used for ads. You can export or delete it at any time.
Does Marla give medical advice?
No. Marla is not a medical device. It stores what you log and shows you where you stand. Questions about your health belong with a professional.
Can my partner use it with me?
Yes. Invite them to your household. Recipes, the meal plan and the shopping list are shared; nutrition, training and health data stay personal.
Stop collecting apps. Start using what you log.
Marla is coming to the App Store. Write to us and you are among the first to get it.
P.S. You do not need to learn a new way to talk to your assistant. Tell it what you ate, the way you would tell a friend. Marla takes care of the rest.
