Make sense of your daily supplements. Why you use them, when you take them, what’s left and what they cost—there’s plenty to keep track of. Sanometra brings supplement logs, stock and health-check records together. Look back at what you used, when and how much, alongside past health results. START FREE Manage up to 5 active supplements for free. • Add products manually or search by barcode. • Set an amount per use and choose a daily schedule, specific days of the week, a fixed interval in days, or no regular schedule. • Record each use with a tap. Adjust the amount or time when needed. • Check stock, estimated days remaining, and each supplement’s daily and 30-day costs. • Organize supplements with multiple purpose tags and notes. Shelf adds a little character, with slightly exaggerated specimens inspired by supplement ingredients. A supplement shelf can be useful and a little fun to look at. SANOMETRA PRO See your supplements and health records together. • Manage more than 5 active supplements. • Add health-check results manually or from CSV files, images and PDFs. • Review drafts extracted from images or PDFs before saving. • Chart your recorded test results. • View past results alongside periods of supplement use. • Review timing against your saved conditions, see a 7-day review, and check restock forecasts and cost summaries. • Create reports on your device, review them and share as PDFs. “What was I taking around then?” See health results and supplement use on the same timeline. Test explanations are also available without Pro. BARCODE LOOKUP Search by barcode. Available information varies by product and external database. If a product is missing or details are incomplete, scan its label or enter them yourself. Always check amounts and warnings against the product label. LABEL ASSISTANCE Review text captured from a label and organize it into entry fields. Replace it with a translation while keeping the original separately. Free label assistance is limited to a set number of saved supplements. YOUR RECORDS, ON YOUR DEVICE No account required. Supplement and health records stay in the app’s local storage. Sanometra does not provide automatic cloud sync; device backups follow your iOS settings. You choose where to share files and save backups. Product searches send the public barcode to external databases. Apple and RevenueCat handle purchases and Pro access; these purchase requests do not include your supplement or health records. REQUIREMENTS Translation requires iOS 17.4 or later and a supported device and language. Translation directly in the entry screen requires iOS 18 or later. The system translation feature on iOS 17.4–17.x may send selected text to Apple. Label assistance with Apple Intelligence requires iOS 26 or later and a supported device, language and settings. When unavailable, you can still review the original text and enter details manually. SUBSCRIPTIONS Sanometra Pro offers monthly and annual auto-renewing subscriptions. Prices, free-trial eligibility and renewal terms appear before purchase. Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple Account. Leaving Pro does not delete your saved original records. You can still view, export and delete them. Sanometra does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or recommended amounts. Charts organize the information you enter; they do not prove supplement effectiveness or a causal link to recorded changes.
