PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data stays on your device. No forced account. Optional iCloud sync is private to you. Nothing is sold, nothing is shared, nothing is mined.

WHY CKD TRACKER Generic health apps do not understand CKD. They miss the labs, miss the diet rules, miss the dialysis rhythm. The CKD Tracker app is purpose built for kidney care to help you organize your kidney health records. The eGFR trend, the phosphorus and potassium budget, the dialysis session log, the BP target, the fluid limit. Every screen reflects how kidney patients and renal teams actually work. IMPORTANT This app is for informational tracking only. It is not medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional, including your nephrologist and renal dietitian, before starting, changing or stopping any treatment, medication, dialysis schedule or diet plan.
