KidneyBite helps you understand what’s on your plate when you live with chronic kidney disease. Snap a photo of your meal. KidneyBite identifies foods, estimates portion sizes, and shows you four kidney-relevant nutrients: β€’ Phosphorus β€’ Potassium β€’ Sodium β€’ Protein Every estimate is personalized to your CKD stage (1 through 5, plus dialysis), so the score you see reflects your daily targets instead of generic nutrition guidelines. WHY PHOSPHORUS Phosphorus is one of the hardest nutrients for kidney patients to track because it rarely appears clearly on food labels. KidneyBite uses phosphorus data from the USDA FoodData Central database β€” a trusted public nutrition database β€” and surfaces it for every meal you scan. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo of your meal. 2. AI identifies foods and estimates portions. 3. See your KidneyBite Score with a Low, Moderate, or High caution estimate personalized to your CKD stage. 4. Tap Log Meal to add it to your daily totals. KIDNEYBITE PRO Unlock Pro to access: β€’ 25 scans per week (Weekly) or 100 scans per month (Annual) β€’ Detailed nutrient breakdowns β€’ CKD-stage-aware targets and trends β€’ Full meal history β€’ Weekly charts for phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and protein β€’ Doctor-ready PDF reports β€’ Apple Health sync FREE PLAN β€’ 5 lifetime meal scans β€’ All CKD stages selectable β€’ Basic nutrient estimates β€’ Last 3 meals saved in history PRIVACY-FIRST Your meal photos are sent securely to our AI provider for analysis only and are not permanently stored on our servers. Your history stays on your device. Apple Health sync is always optional and only writes data if you enable it. Your health data is never sold or used for advertising. IMPORTANT KidneyBite is for educational tracking only. It is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for professional medical care. Nutrition estimates from photos are approximations and may be inaccurate. Always consult your nephrologist or registered dietitian before making dietary or medical decisions.
