NutraMum is a nutrition tracker for women trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding. Each of these stages of motherhood has different nutritional needs, so use this beautifully designed, easy to use tracker to log your food and supplements. Log each thing you consume, and it will automatically update how much nutrition is in it and shows your nutrition progress bar for each day. Most prenatals don’t have 100% of every vitamin you need daily, so it’s important to track what you’re lacking. NutraMum also recommends what you can quickly and easily consume to help bring your nutrient level up toward your daily goals. This app is great for women who want to ensure they are meeting all nutritional goals for the day, whether they want to consume those nutrients strictly from a Whole Foods diet, prenatal vitamins or a combination of both. Also in the app, enjoy nutrient rich, low fuss, pregnancy friendly recipes that are tasty even when that nausea hits. We know that some people may have unique needs. Inside the app, you can easily edit your daily dietary needs based on your medical provider’s recommendations. This app uses standard recommendations based on pregnancy guidelines but it is not meant to replace your doctor and is meant to be used alongside with your doctor’s advice. Bring it to your doctor appointment and make sure the daily recommendations are in line with what your doctor thinks you need.

Track every pill, vitamin, and medication you take for free. Scan a barcode or type it in, then get reminders, streaks, and sync across your devices. The AI advisor is optional and needs your OK. Most supplement apps just remind you to swallow pills. Basic Intake tells you which ones to keep, which to adjust, and which to stop paying for. No bro science. No 47-pill stacks. A tracker that earns its place. REVIEW MY STACK Tap once and your AI advisor audits everything you take, then ranks each item KEEP, ADJUST, or DROP, with a plain-English reason and a confidence level. It weighs real adherence from your check-offs, your own "is it working?" answers, how your lab values moved, your mood and energy trend, and with Apple Health, your sleep and activity. Hand any suggestion to the assistant and it makes the change for you, then marks it done once your stack reflects it. Clinical calls go to your doctor. SOMETHING TO HAND YOUR DOCTOR One tap turns your regimen into a printable PDF: every supplement and medication, the dose, the schedule, and how consistently you have taken it. Bring that to an appointment instead of trying to remember the name of the thing in the blue bottle. The people you care for go on the same report. FOR THE PEOPLE YOU CARE FOR Track a parent's medications, a kid's vitamins, and the dog's heartworm pill alongside your own, each with its own schedule, reminders, and history. The AI advisor works for their lists too. If you are the one who keeps everyone else's pills straight, this is built for you. TOOK IT, FORGOT TO TAP IT Open your adherence history, tap any day in the past week, and fill in what you took. Your streak survives, and your stack review stops counting a forgotten tap as a missed dose. A HEADS UP BEFORE IT COSTS YOU With Pro, add anything and Basic Intake re-checks the whole stack. If it finds an absorption clash (calcium blocking iron), a duplicate pushing one nutrient past its upper limit, or a timing conflict costing you effectiveness, a card names the items, the consequence, and the fix. READ YOUR BLOODWORK Import a lab report as a PDF. Your advisor pulls your biomarkers (vitamin D, B12, ferritin), charts each over time against its reference range, flags anything out of range, and ties it to your stack. WHAT ELSE YOU GET • Scan a barcode and the name, brand, and dose fill in. Not recognized? Snap or pick a photo of the Supplement Facts panel and the AI reads it. Barcodes and tracking never cost an AI interaction. • Schedules that fit real life: every day or specific days, vitamin D on weekends, a B12 shot on Mondays. Anything not due stays hidden, so an off day never breaks your streak. • Skipping on purpose is its own thing: long-press to mark the day handled without logging a dose you did not take. • One tap on Take all logs the rest of a time of day, with Undo if you tapped too soon. • Once a month it asks whether something is helping, and each week a short read on which time of day your doses slip. • Nutrient Totals: every vitamin and mineral against the RDA, gaps and limits flagged • Weight tracking: your weekly trend shows green toward your goal, amber away from it • Restock Reminders track your supply, refill in one tap • iCloud sync across iPhone and Apple Watch, plus backup and restore • Apple Health: your doses send the vitamins and minerals Health tracks, weigh-ins send weight, and sleep and activity feed the advice • Interactive widget, full VoiceOver, unlockable streak flames Basic Intake is an informational tool, not medical advice. Always consult your doctor before starting or changing any supplement regimen. SUBSCRIPTION Free 7-day trial includes up to 15 AI chat interactions and 15 label photo scans. Barcode scans are always unlimited and free. After the trial, Basic Intake Pro is $59.99/year or $7.99/month. Cancel anytime in Settings.

NutraMum's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
