## What is NefroChef?

Eating well with a chronic health condition shouldn’t feel like a puzzle.

NefroChef calculates your daily limits tailored to YOUR profile and only displays meals you can safely eat. Every single recipe is reviewed by a nephrologist.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR CONDITION
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD), dialysis, kidney transplant
• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Overweight and weight management
• Managing multiple conditions: the app balances all your dietary needs at once

WHAT THE APP DOES
• 308 recipes with detailed nutrients per serving (potassium, phosphorus, sodium, sugar, protein, calories)
• Daily nutrient limits customized to your weight, height, age, and activity level
• Automatic rotating daily meal planner
• Food diary: track what you eat and monitor your nutrient targets
• Barcode & food label scanner: snap a product photo to see if it fits your diet
• Smart grocery shopping list

DOCTOR REVIEWED
Recipes and nutritional breakdowns are verified by Dr. Ariadna Ríos, nephrologist. This is not a generic diet app: exact nutrient levels matter when your kidneys and blood sugar depend on them.

ZERO MATH REQUIRED
Select your conditions and the app adapts: metrics you don’t need disappear. A diabetic profile won’t track potassium unnecessarily; someone on dialysis will.

NefroChef does not replace medical advice from your physician or dietitian. It is the practical tool to follow their guidance every day.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.16 — 2026-10-08

Your weekly menu exports to PDF.
Your sugar limit is now calculated and saved like the others.
Fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.1.15 — 2026-10-05

NefroChef s'ouvre à d'autres pathologies

• Diabète, hypertension et perte de poids : au-delà de la santé rénale, l'app calcule vos limites selon VOS pathologies. Vous ne voyez que les valeurs qui vous concernent.

• Assistant IA : demandez-lui quoi cuisiner, un menu pour la semaine, ou posez vos questions sur l'alimentation. Il crée le menu et vous emmène à la recette.

• Enregistrez un repas en un geste : choisissez parmi les aliments courants ou cherchez n'importe quel ingrédient ou recette. Plus besoin de saisir le potassium ni le sodium.

• Exportez votre menu en PDF, hebdomadaire ou mensuel, à imprimer ou à partager.

• Scanner d'étiquettes plus visible : une photo du produit et l'app vous dit s'il vous convient.

• Profil plus clair : modifiez vos pathologies quand vous voulez, l'app s'adapte aussitôt.

Corrections : limites qui ne se mettaient pas à jour après un changement de pathologie, enregistrement des repas depuis le journal, et plusieurs ajustements visuels.

### 1.1.14 — 2026-09-30

Your full daily menu, free

• You can now see and cook your complete menu for the day at no cost: breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. It changes every day.
• Improved label scanner: we now also read sugars, saturated fat, fibre and calories.
• Country search in the recipe filters.
• The app is now fully in English — recipe verdicts, categories and profile no longer show Spanish text.
• Fixed a crash when opening certain recipes.

### 1.1.13 — 2026-09-22

You can now ask Dr. Ariadna Ríos, nephrologist, to prepare your weekly menu.
She reviews your kidney stage and your limits, and builds it for you.

• Request your menu from the home screen and tell her what she should know:
  what you don't like, whether you can't cook much this week. We'll let you
  know as soon as it's ready.
• Your menu arrives with her notes and loads into your diary automatically,
  day by day.
• You can now see the full week and your shopping list to plan ahead.
• Start with your first month at a tenth of the price.
• Fixed an issue where a new menu wouldn't appear if you had already logged
  meals that day.
• Stability and speed improvements.

### 1.1.12 — 2026-09-18

You can now start with your first month at a tenth of the price, and see
exactly what you are charged before paying. No surprises.

• Label scanner: take a photo of any packaged product and we tell you whether
  it is a good option for your kidneys. We detect added phosphates, which are
  absorbed almost entirely and never appear on the nutrition facts panel.
• Your first scan is free, no subscription needed.
• If your doctor prepares a weekly menu for you, it now shows up directly in
  your plan and your diary, with their name on it.
• Fully translated app: Spanish, English, French and Portuguese, including
  recipe categories and recommendations.
• Fixed an issue where a menu prepared for the coming days would not appear.
• Stability and speed improvements.
