## What is Phebe App?

Phebe makes living with PKU easier.

PKU (phenylketonuria) means managing phenylalanine — "phe" — every day, for life. Phebe is the everyday companion for that: estimate the phe in your food and track it against a daily budget. Made for adults living with PKU, and for the parents managing it for their kids.

ESTIMATE PHE, FAST
• Search a built-in food database for phe per serving.
• Point your camera at a nutrition label for an instant estimate — phe is computed from the label.
• Can't find a food? Enter it manually with your own estimate.

A DAILY PHE BUDGET
• Set a daily phe target and see what's left as you log — in milligrams or 15-mg exchanges.
• A simple food diary adds up your day automatically.

FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
• Track for yourself, or set up a profile for each child you care for.

BUILT BY A PKU FAMILY. FREE.
Phebe is free — no ads, no paywall. Built by people who live with PKU, at the standard you expect from every other app you use.

Optionally connect a Bluetooth kitchen scale to automatically log portion sizes.

All data is stored locally on your device.
—

Phebe helps you track and understand your phe. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for your clinic. Always talk to your care team before changing your diet, formula, or medication.
