You can configure your toolbar and top shortcuts to reduce friction and help you log a little bit faster in MacroFactor.
To start, press the quick actions button (the + button at the bottom middle of your screen). From there, tap on the settings icon in the top right corner of the Shortcuts window.
You can also configure the toolbar by:
Tapping “More” in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Under “Feature Settings”, tap “Shortcuts.”
From this menu, you can configure your toolbar by tapping “Customize Toolbar.” You can select between four toolbar style options:
Search and Barcode: Your toolbar will display a food search bar, and a small button for barcode scanning.
Search, Barcode, and Custom: Your toolbar will display a food search bar, a small button for barcode scanning, and your top shortcut. You’ll want to make sure your top shortcut is the action you do most often in the app, other than searching for foods or scanning barcodes.
Four Custom: Your toolbar will display the top four shortcuts, color-coded for at-a-glance recognition.
None: Selecting this option will remove the toolbar, giving you a bit more screen real estate.
You can also rearrange your shortcuts on this page. To move your shortcuts around, long-press the two horizontal parallel lines on the right side of a shortcut tile, and drag the tile up or down to change its order in your shortcut list.
To add or remove shortcuts in the Shortcuts menu, tap “Add or Remove Shortcuts” and toggle the shortcuts you want to appear or remove.
If you selected the “Search, Barcode, and Custom” option for your toolbar, your top shortcut (other than food search and barcode scanning) will be displayed on your toolbar. If you selected the “Four Custom” option for your toolbar, all four of your top shortcuts will be displayed on your toolbar.
Finally, you can change the colors for any shortcut from this menu by tapping the color switch on the Shortcuts page, then tapping the paintbrush to choose your preferred shortcut color.
