Protein tracker without calories?

CW: IWL (intentional weight loss)

Hey folks, I've been tracking calories on and off for the last 20 years. Right now, it's not working for my mental state and I want to take a break, however I still want to track my protein to ensure I get enough to fuel my strength routines and muscle recovery.

I'd really like to continue tracking protein in an app, but I DON'T want to see the calories and I don't want to track specific foods. Seeing/knowing the calories right now is giving me anxiety and making me think too much about intentional weight loss (even though IWL is my overall goal).

I basically just want a running tally each day where I can just add the number of grams each time I eat and see what I'm up to at that point. I don't want to log the actual food, I don't want calories or fat or carbs recorded.

Does an app like this exist?

I've tried writing it on a pen and paper but my mental maths isn't amazing for the running tally and I don't carry pen and paper around with me.
