Stop calorie counting! JustaPlate is a simple and easy-to-use meal tracker based on the Plate Method. Keep a food diary and get adjusted recommendations for your next meal. With JustaPlate you can plan healthy meals and manage your macros without a calorie counter. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JUSTAPLATE ? Easy and Flexible Food Tracker: - No calorie counting - No serving measuring - No food categories exclusion Healthy Balanced Meals With One Plate: - 1/4 Proteins - 1/4 Whole Grains - 1/2 Vegetables and Fruits Adapted Recommendation: - Get recommendation for your next meal - Based on your previous meals - Adjust your meals to reach your gaol Healthy Eating Lifestyle: - Build awareness of what you eat - Start with small changes - Set achievable goals GOING VEGAN OR VEGETARIAN JustaPlate is designed for vegan and vegetarian meals. If you are transitioning between diets, JustaPlate will help you to ensure you are eating healthy and balanced meals. JUSTAPLATE IS NOT ANOTHER WEIGHT LOSS APP The Plate Method can help weight management by defining the appropriate portion of each food. However, JustaPlate doesn’t promote any weight loss diet. With JustaPlate, no need for a calorie tracker to maintain a healthy diet. We believe that the most important is to have a balanced healthy diet as part of a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity and quality sleep. WHY JUSTAPLATE IS DIFFERENT? - It’s a visual app With the plate representation and your meals photos taken, you can track your daily meals and check your healthy balance at a glance. JustaPlate is an easy-to-use nutrition tracker. - It’s a realistic app In addition to the four food categories presented in the plate method (Proteins, Whole grains, Vegetables and Fruits), JustaPlate introduces a fifth category (Other) that accounts for any food that doesn’t fit into the four recommended categories. You can enjoy an occasional treat without feeling guilty. - It’s a flexible app You don’t have to stick exactly to each meal's recommended food categories and proportions. The Plate method is meant as a guideline. You can compose meals at your convenience throughout the day, and JustaPlate will aggregate the data into one daily plate. - It’s catalogue free Have you ever tried to log that typical local dish you eat but didn’t find it in the food database? With JustaPlate, there is no need for a catalogue to know what you are eating. If it’s food, you can name its main components and categorise them within the plate. If not, it’s probably not food! - It helps you build healthy habits Food journaling is effective for building good and sustainable eating habits. With JustaPlate, you can track every food you eat or focus on just one meal. Set your realistic goal and keep track of it with the streak count.

SimpleRX is a medication tracker built by a paramedic who saw firsthand what happens when patients can't remember their medications. It's designed to be simple enough for anyone to use, and detailed enough to matter when it counts. For patients: Add your prescriptions in seconds by typing the name or scanning the barcode on your pill bottle. SimpleRX looks up what the medication is for and sets your daily reminders automatically. When you're running low, it reminds you to refill before you run out. For caregivers: Stay connected to the people you care for. Get notified when they take a dose, miss one, or need a refill. View their medications, adherence history, and emergency information — all from your own phone. Safety features built in: SimpleRX checks for drug interactions every time you add a new medication and explains them in plain English. It tells you what side effects to expect when starting something new, and alerts opioid patients about Narcan and where to get it free. Emergency ready: Build a complete Medical ID card with your conditions, allergies, blood type, DNR status, and emergency contacts. Generate a printable EMS Quick Reference Card that first responders can read at a glance, designed by a paramedic for patients. What makes SimpleRX different: Large buttons and clear text designed for elderly users Speaks your medication name out loud when it's time to take it No complicated setup, works in minutes Available in English and Spanish Caregiver access is always free One simple price, no subscription ever
