What's New in KidneyKind
2.0.0
October 10, 2026
KidneyKind 2.0 adds Food Lookup — a kidney-aware way to check any food before you buy or eat it. FOOD LOOKUP (in the new More tab) - Search any food by name, or scan a barcode, and see its sodium, potassium, and phosphorus as a share of your own daily limits. Protein is shown as a goal to reach, not a limit. - Hidden phosphorus warning: when a packaged food lists a phosphate additive in its ingredients, KidneyKind flags it — the kind of phosphorus that rarely appears on a nutrition label but is almost completely absorbed. - Real servings like "1 medium banana," in grams, ounces, or fluid ounces. - Save favorites for one-tap re-checks. Set your personal targets in Settings > Dietary Limits. - Food data from the USDA and Open Food Facts databases. ALSO NEW - The Explore tab is now a More menu, with faster access to your Transplant Journey and Care Team. KidneyKind is a tracking tool, not medical advice. Your renal dietitian sets the numbers that are right for you. The 14-day free trial is unchanged, and if your subscription ever ends you keep read-only access to everything you've saved.
