MacroFactor
A nutrition and macro tracking app.
MacroFactor, a nutrition and macro tracker, relies on influencers for most of its downloads and ties itself to trusted creators such as Jeff Nippard. It also asks for an optional referral code during onboarding, as Cal AI does. Lesson: partner with creators who already have audience trust, and add a referral code step to attribute their installs. The sources give no MacroFactor revenue or download figures.

From MacroFactor page notes
What was said about MacroFactor
Tie the app to a creator with deep audience trust. MacroFactor is cited as an example of an app that uses Jeff Nippard's content. Apps linked to trusted creators get distribution from day one and can sustain premium prices.
Waking Up uses Sam Harris's voice in onboarding as a similar case. The risk is dependence: the buyer must keep the creator on board, and creators often refuse earn-outs. As evidence for the model, Purpose, an AI mentor app tied to Mark Manson-style content, gets about 20K downloads a month and $200K a month in revenue. Quote: "You get distribution from day one."
