# wger

Workouts and nutrition you host. wger is AGPL-3.0 — MyFitnessPal without the hosted diary seat.

**Replaces:** MyFitnessPal

**Tier:** Easy

## Problem

MyFitnessPal is a hosted calorie and workout diary. You wanted exercises, a weight log, and meals on a box you run. wger is AGPL-3.0 (wger-project/wger; last push 24 Oct 2026). FitTrackee is the outdoor activity diary — /replace/strava. Grocy is household groceries, not a calorie tracker. Mealie is recipes. This is not MyFitnessPal's every barcode, restaurant, or Premium SKU.

## Stack

- [wger](https://wger.de) — AGPL-3.0 workout, nutrition, and weight tracker — the published MyFitnessPal path

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| MyFitnessPal / hosted nutrition diary (household) | $1,200 | wger + a database |

**About $1,200 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.
