Know your sodium, meal by meal. SaltWise is a calm, private sodium tracker for anyone following a sodium number: a low-sodium plan from your doctor, DASH-style eating, or a high-salt goal. Log a meal in seconds, see what is left for the day, and share a clear weekly summary with your care team. TRUSTWORTHY NUMBERS • 13,000+ foods with lab-measured values from USDA FoodData Central, not user-entered guesses • Real portions, like 1 slice, 1 cup or 1 piece of medium pizza, scaled for you • Every serving is color-coded with the FDA's low (5% Daily Value) and high (20% DV) marks • Enter any Nutrition Facts label per serving, in milligrams of sodium or grams of salt YOUR NUMBER, YOUR WAY • Set the daily number your doctor or dietitian gave you, whatever it is • Stay under a limit, or reach at least a goal on a high-salt plan • Change it any time: past days keep the target they had, so your history stays accurate • See sodium and its salt equivalent side by side MORE THAN SODIUM • Fluids with quick-add buttons and an optional daily number • Morning weight, with the change since yesterday and over 7 days • Potassium tracking if you were asked to watch it • Favorites, recent foods, one-tap "log again" and your own custom foods • Gentle lunch, dinner and weigh-in reminders A WEEK YOUR DOCTOR CAN READ • 7-day and 30-day charts, averages and your biggest sodium sources • Share a text summary, or a clean PDF report with Pro PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no ads • Your log stays on your iPhone • Optional Apple Health sync SALTWISE PRO Free SaltWise includes daily sodium, fluid and weight tracking, label entry and the full food database, with no ads.
