About

Phebe

Features

Phebe is personalized precision nutrition: every meal counted, in a record you own. Most trackers stop at calories. Phebe counts everything on the label and more: macros, minerals, vitamins, and all 18 amino acids. You choose what to track and set your own daily targets, so the app reads like it was built for you. EVERY MEAL COUNTED • Search the built-in food database, scan a barcode, or photograph a nutrition label. All three end on the same screen: set the portion, log it. • Connect a Bluetooth kitchen scale and the weight flows straight into the entry. • Favorites log in one tap. Build a recipe once and log the dish. YOUR DAY, YOUR TARGETS • Today shows where the day stands against the targets you set, in the layout you like. • Diary keeps every day. Trends and reports on the web show the patterns. • Keep a streak: breakfast, lunch and dinner logged the same day counts. • Connect Apple Health to see your steps beside your diary. Phebe only reads your steps and never writes. MADE WITH PKU IN MIND • Phenylalanine and tyrosine sit beside every other amino, with daily targets in milligrams. Built by a PKU family, for anyone who counts. PHONE AND WEB, ONE ACCOUNT • Start with no account; everything works on your phone. Create a free account to back up your record and open it at app.phebe.life. • Metric or imperial, dark or light: your choice, on both. A DATA CO-OP FOR YOUR BENEFIT • Your record is yours. Members can choose to contribute de-identified data to research, and the value returns to members. FREE, NO ADS • No paywall, no ads, no catch. — Phebe helps you count and understand what you eat. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for your care team. Talk to them before changing your diet, formula, or medication.
