MacroFactor just launched its new Customizable Dashboard that lets you prioritize, arrange, and explore insights that matter most to you. By the end of this announcement, you’ll learn how to build the perfect home for your fitness and nutrition data using these new customization tools. The Customizable Dashboard also came with a host of new and exciting features, such as Step Tracking, Comparison for Body Metrics, and Temporal Aggregation for all of your favorite charts. This is a milestone release, and we hope you enjoy it!
MacroFactor’s algorithms adapt intelligently to your metabolism, and with release 4.0.0, the Dashboard now adapts to all your data needs. Led by Senior Engineer Jake Boychenko, this update introduces powerful customization tools, steps tracking, body metrics comparison, and more.
Your new Dashboard could look like this:
Or this:
And there are many other options. Let’s walk through the customizations MacroFactor has to offer.
Customize Everything
With the Customizable Dashboard, you can make MacroFactor truly yours. Want instant access to your favorite metrics? No problem. Prefer a streamlined view to focus only on essentials? Done. You can now toggle any Dashboard tile on or off and arrange sections based on your personal priorities.
For example, you can move Habits up or down, prioritizing this information over Insights & Analytics or deprioritizing it relative to the Nutrition section. Tiles within each section can also be re-arranged. Weight Trend could be above Expenditure or below it, and nutrients can appear in any order on your Dashboard.
Each Dashboard section houses more information than what’s shown in the default dashboard view. For example, the Nutrition section starts out by showing the Calorie, Protein, Fat, and Carb intake, but it can also show you vitamins, minerals, and the detailed breakdown of your Protein, Fat, and Carb consumption.
Likewise, the Dashboard will initially start out by displaying your Scale Weight and Visual Body Fat, but you can expand the set of Body Metrics displayed on the Dashboard to include Progress Photos and tape measurements such as Neck, Shoulders, Waist, Hips, and more.
You can even customize your Dashboard Hat and choose its primary focus.
You can set your Dashboard Hat to showcase Weekly Nutrition, Daily Nutrition, or Energy Balance insights—or turn them all off for a minimalist look. MacroFactor adapts to you, putting the metrics that matter most right at your fingertips.
Enjoy an Optimized Dashboard Layout
As part of bringing these new, rich customization features, we had to rethink how the Dashboard works. Our goal was to preserve the look and feel of the MacroFactor Dashboard, while applying better organizational principles and giving you more power over your data.
You love data, we love data, and so we decided one Dashboard was simply not enough. In addition to the primary landing page, MacroFactor now has five inner Dashboards.
Here is how your new Dashboards work together. The primary dashboard is an at-a-glance view and launch point for your essential and chosen metrics. Each section—like Nutrition or Insights & Analytics—has its own dedicated page that expands on the metrics within that category.
For example, when you tap “See All” in the Nutrition section, you’ll enter an inner dashboard where you can view detailed breakdowns of your macro and micronutrients, track your daily intake against your targets, and explore specific data points for Fiber, Vitamin D, Iron, and so on.
Similarly, the Insights & Analytics section’s inner dashboard offers a closer look at trends like Energy Balance and Goal Progress. From the inner dashboard, you can monitor progress in each of these key areas without cluttering your main dashboard with all four insights, if you usually only reference two of them. This modular approach gives you the flexibility to prioritize what you want to see front and center while still having easy access to more in-depth information.
Get More Out of Your Charts
The new Dashboard comes with a host of new features and improvements. Among them, more powerful charts. We added temporal aggregation — daily, weekly, and monthly options, so you can zoom in on the details or step back to see the bigger picture.
This flexibility makes it easy to analyze patterns over time, whether you’re assessing calorie intake, weight trends, or nutrient consumption. Track progress at a granular level or take a broader view to identify trends.
Count your Steps and Analyze your Energy Balance
With the 4.0.0 release, MacroFactor delivered two new activity-related insights. One of them topped the list of the most requested Planned Features on our Public Roadmap with 5720 upvotes — Steps Import.
You can now sync Steps with Apple Health or Health Connect to keep all your step data in one place. Steps will show up on your Dashboard under “General.”
The second new addition to the 4.0.0 analytics is the expanded Energy Balance insight. Once limited to a 30-day view, Energy Balance lets you track intake vs. expenditure over any interval, making it easier to analyze and adjust based on your goals.
Track Your Progress Better with Full Body Comparison Tools
We have also reimagined how you view and track body metrics, transforming what was once a single page into a dedicated, multi-layered inner dashboard. This new Body Metrics layout allows you to see multiple metrics at a glance, with each metric having its own dedicated tile.
The new Full Body tile leads to a page that brings all your body measurements together. This Full Body page houses two brand new tools for navigating your tape measurements. One of them lets you quickly swipe between days to access your measurements for all metrics like Neck, Shoulders, Waist, and Hips in a comprehensive snapshot. The other tool is called “Compare All Metrics.”
This brand-new feature allows you to select any two dates and compare all your body measurements side-by-side. You can see how measurements — like Waist, Hips, or Arms — have changed between the two snapshots, with differences clearly displayed. No more navigating back and forth to track progress. This tool brings a streamlined comparison experience, making it easier than ever to analyze and celebrate your progress.
Your Data, Your Way: MacroFactor’s Most Customizable Experience Yet
The 4.0.0 release introduces powerful customization options, letting you build a dashboard tailored to your unique data priorities. From flexible layouts and inner dashboards for each main section to an upgraded Full Body experience and a powerful Compare All Metrics tool, MacroFactor empowers you to view and organize your fitness and nutrition insights like never before. With additions like Step Tracking and enhanced chart aggregation, this update doesn’t just improve navigation—it transforms how you interact with your data.
