About Kidney Pal: Renal Diet Tracker
Managing a kidney diet is overwhelming. Every food label feels like a puzzle. Generic nutrition apps don't understand phosphorus additives, potassium limits, or why your dietary needs are completely different from someone at a different CKD stage.

AI-POWERED FOOD SCANNING
Snap a photo of any meal or nutrition label. Our AI instantly analyzes it and gives you a kidney safety score based on YOUR limits—including hidden phosphorus additives that other apps miss. Get smart swap suggestions to make any meal safer, and chat with the AI to ask questions about what you just scanned.
LOG MEALS YOUR WAY
