Most nutrition apps count calories or macros, but miss what matters most: your micronutrients. Easily track your vitamin and mineral intake just by taking a picture of your food. Identify deficiencies from iron to vitamin b12, fix symptoms, and optimize your long-term health. Why Micronutrients Matter Micronutrients—like iodine, iron, magnesium, and vitamin D—are essential to your energy, mood, immunity, brain function, and longevity. But most people have no idea if they’re getting enough. Even healthy eaters have blind spots. Over time, small nutrient gaps can lead to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, poor immunity, or worse. We make it easy to see what you’re missing and fix it fast. Here’s How It Works 1. Snap a Picture of Your Meal No logging, no typing. Just take a photo. Our AI analyzes your food for dozens of essential vitamins and minerals—instantly. 2. Track Your Daily Intake Against RDAs and AIs Based on your age and sex, we show you how your nutrient intake compares to the official Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and Adequate Intakes (AIs). 3. Spot Deficiencies Before They Become Problems Quickly see where you’re falling short—and get tips to close the gap with better food choices. 4. Build Healthy Habits with Data That Matters Every day, you’ll know if you’re fueling your body right—not just by calories or protein, but by what truly powers your cells. Key Features • Micronutrient Tracking Made Easy – Go beyond calories and macros. Track essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, iodine, magnesium, and more. • Photo-Based Food Logging – Just take a picture. No barcode scanning or manual entry required. • Personalized Daily Targets – All recommendations are tailored to your age, sex, and official RDA/AI values. • Simple Visual Feedback – Instantly see what you’ve hit and what you’re missing with clear, color-coded visuals. • Daily & Weekly Trends – See how your nutrition stacks up over time and build consistency. • Recipes based on your remaining macros for the day and dietary preferences. • Science-Backed Guidance – Built on trusted nutrition standards used by health professionals. Our Mission We believe that everyone deserves to live a longer, healthier, and happier life, without the stress of counting every gram. Nutrition should be simple, personal, and empowering. This app gives you the insights to make better food decisions every day—with less effort and more confidence. Stop guessing what your body needs. Start knowing. Because it’s not just about eating—it’s about thriving. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
