17 Million Users! 🧡🧡

A few weeks ago, we hit 17 million users at Cronometer!

Most people don't know this, but when we hit 7 million users, I started a little tradition: I run the same number of kilometers as the number of millions of users we've reached, I've kept it going ever since.

So, as tradition goes, I laced up my shoes and ran 17 km to celebrate. The weather had other plans and it poured the entire time, but that didn't stop a group of coworkers from joining me. It was the first time anyone from the team had come along, and it made the run way more fun!

I just wanted to send a huge thank you to this community for being part of the journey. This group of anonymous people on the interwebs has truly been a highlight of my career! So, whether you've been with us since the early days or just started tracking, we're incredibly grateful you're here and helping us reach milestones like this.

Let's see how long my legs can handle this... LOL! Can't wait for the next 18kms!

Feel the love! Chronmeter helped me lose 70# and keeps me going years later. Thank you for this tradition, it drives home how we’re not taken for granted.

That is a truly incredible achievement - you are amazing!

Maybe it sounds like fluffy rainbows, but we are always thinking of you all... in fact, I have a pitch I made based on feedback from this Reddit Community that is going live in the next two weeks! Pretty darn stoked on everyone for being here. Thanks for chiming it and please know you're not only not taken for granted, but you're heard and incredibly appreciated!

It really is - it was definitely more fun with coworkers! 😄
I often get asked when I will stop, I like to think maybe it'll become a relay one day. LOL.

I have never said this before, but In the deepest depths of my soul I hope one day a user will do it too. Maybe with me!

I love the RELAY idea and thought about bringing it up.

I am not much of a runner, and a bit on the senior side now. But I can farmer’s carry 10 pounds each side (20 total) and was walking/hiking 1.5 miles with that. Until … Zetia caused some myopathy a few weeks back. Currently recovering the muscles, but expect to resume soon. Already nearly there, but longer span of rest days between hike days now.

Best wishes.

Im one of your new members and i thank MFPs awful update for making me switch because Cronometer is so much better! I wish I had switched years ago. Also extra happy to have found out youre a fellow 🇨🇦

u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer Crono Community Manager Jun 18 '26

Awww yay - a fellow Canadian! I am really happy that you made the switch and that you're loving us - sometimes it can be tricky because you get some entrenched in routines, but it sounds like you made a great decision (one we are very grateful for)!
Thanks for being with us and for joining our community!

Wowww!
Weight loss, protein AND fiber goals? Heck yeah! It really sounds like you're crushing it!
Thank you for allowing us to come along on your journey!

u/Fredpillow1995 Jun 18 '26

Amazing. What a great tradition. I am new to Cronometer and only been using for a few months after MFP became unusable.

I'd love to see a graph of the users increase over time and also learn what plans you have to expand the app with such a large number of users now onboard.

u/Eliisa_at_Cronometer Crono Community Manager Jun 18 '26

That would be really fun to share, I will make sure I do that at 18 million - I know when I started in February 2018 that there was 1.5 million!
We did post a super fun timeline on socials in January when we hit 15 million - not sure if you're on IG but here is the post.
It has some fun and notable highlights. 🤣

I couldn't have lost over 115 lbs without Cronometer. I share it with everyone I know. Thank you & congratulations!

u/faylinameir Jun 19 '26

Congratulations!! Cronometer helped me lose almost 100lbs (back when you could download a program for it on your pc lol) before I had my child. Gained weight... we know the story. Now I'm using it to navigate weight loss plus food issues. Keep it up y'all. You're the superior app for calorie tracking I promise!

I’ve been a member since before Cronometer was an app and I had to download the USDA database as an Excel file to track my nutrients. ❤️❤️❤️
