About

KidneyOS

Features
Read full description

Managing kidney disease takes a team. KidneyOS is built for CKD and dialysis patients — and the family members who help them — to track nutrition, fluid, medications, and labs together in one private, iCloud-based dashboard. KIDNEY SCORE Every day receives a 0–100 Kidney Score based on how your sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake compares to your personal targets. It's a fast, at-a-glance summary of how your day is going — not a diagnosis, but a motivating educational signal. CAREGIVER SHARING (Plus) Invite a family member or caregiver via iCloud. They can co-log meals, fluid, and medications from their own device in real time — no shared password required. SMART FOOD SEARCH & BARCODE SCANNER Search pulls from USDA FoodData Central (lab-verified nutrients) and Open Food Facts (packaged foods). KidneyOS automatically routes whole-food searches to USDA and branded-product searches to the best available source. Scan any barcode to instantly fill in potassium and phosphorus values that aren't always on the label. FLUID TRACKER Kidney disease often requires a strict daily fluid limit. Log every glass, cup, or IV with quick-add buttons or custom amounts. An animated ring shows exactly how much fluid you have left today. LAB-DRIVEN TARGET SUGGESTIONS Enter your most recent potassium, phosphorus, sodium, albumin, and dialysis context. KidneyOS analyzes trends and suggests whether to tighten or relax your daily nutrient targets — then shows its work so you can review it with your care team. MEDICATION REMINDERS Add phosphate binders, blood pressure medications, or any other daily meds. KidneyOS schedules local notification reminders at the exact times you choose. WEEKLY INSIGHTS & TRENDS (Plus) Seven-day nutrient trend charts with auto-generated observations help you and your dietitian spot patterns before your next appointment. DOCTOR EXPORT (Plus) Generate a PDF summary of your food log, fluid intake, labs, and medications to share with your nephrologist or renal dietitian. FOOD LIBRARY & RECIPES Save custom foods and build kidney-friendly recipes. Every recipe automatically calculates sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and calories per serving. SAVED MEALS Create meal templates for dishes you eat regularly. Log an entire meal in one tap. ICLOUD SYNC Your data stays private and syncs automatically across all your iPhone and iPad devices through your personal iCloud account. IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER KidneyOS is intended for informational wellness and nutrition awareness purposes only and is not a medical device. The app does not diagnose, treat, prevent, monitor, or manage any disease or medical condition. Always seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions. KidneyOS is an educational self-tracking tool. Always confirm diet changes, fluid limits, target adjustments, and medication decisions with your nephrologist, renal dietitian, or licensed care team. KidneyOS Plus is available as a monthly subscription, annual subscription (best value), or one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
