Know your sodium, meal by meal. SaltWise is a calm, private sodium tracker for anyone following a sodium number: a low-sodium plan from your doctor, DASH-style eating, or a high-salt goal. Log a meal in seconds, see what is left for the day, and share a clear weekly summary with your care team. TRUSTWORTHY NUMBERS • 13,000+ foods with lab-measured values from USDA FoodData Central, not user-entered guesses • Real portions, like 1 slice, 1 cup or 1 piece of medium pizza, scaled for you • Every serving is color-coded with the FDA's low (5% Daily Value) and high (20% DV) marks • Enter any Nutrition Facts label per serving, in milligrams of sodium or grams of salt YOUR NUMBER, YOUR WAY • Set the daily number your doctor or dietitian gave you, whatever it is • Stay under a limit, or reach at least a goal on a high-salt plan • Change it any time: past days keep the target they had, so your history stays accurate • See sodium and its salt equivalent side by side MORE THAN SODIUM • Fluids with quick-add buttons and an optional daily number • Morning weight, with the change since yesterday and over 7 days • Potassium tracking if you were asked to watch it • Favorites, recent foods, one-tap "log again" and your own custom foods • Gentle lunch, dinner and weigh-in reminders A WEEK YOUR DOCTOR CAN READ • 7-day and 30-day charts, averages and your biggest sodium sources • Share a text summary, or a clean PDF report with Pro PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no ads • Your log stays on your iPhone • Optional Apple Health sync SALTWISE PRO Free SaltWise includes daily sodium, fluid and weight tracking, label entry and the full food database, with no ads. Pro adds unlimited history and 30-day trends, PDF reports, unlimited favorites and custom foods, and Apple Health sync.
