nutrx is a simple, private app for tracking the vitamins, supplements and nutrients you take every day. There's no preset list. You decide what to track — Vitamin D in IU, protein in grams, water in litres, caffeine in mg — and set your own goal for each: at least, at most, or a range. Log with a tap and watch your progress fill up through the day. Track at a glance • A day score shows how many goals you've met, your streak and your next reminder • Every nutrient gets a progress ring in its own colour and icon • + and − log one step; tap a nutrient to log an exact amount with a note Log faster • Stacks: log everything you take together, like your morning vitamins, in one tap • Siri and Shortcuts: "Log my Vitamin D with nutrx" or "Log my Morning stack with nutrx" • Export your whole log as a CSV file whenever you like See how you're doing • Hit rate, daily average and best day for the last 7, 30 or 90 days • A weekday pattern that shows the day you tend to miss • A month calendar of your history, with your current and best streak Wherever you are • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, with one-tap logging • An Apple Watch app and complications • Reminders for each nutrient and stack that go quiet once you've logged it • iCloud sync across your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch Private by design nutrx has no account, no ads, no analytics and no servers of its own. Your data lives on your devices and in your own private iCloud, and you can turn sync off any time. nutrx never sees it. nutrx Pro (optional) Everything above is free and stays free. nutrx Pro adds a few things around tracking: • Supply & refills — see how many days are left in a bottle and what it costs a month, get one reminder before it runs out, and add it to your shopping list • Courses — take something for a set time ("for 5 days", "until 24 Oct"): after the last day it leaves Today, its reminders stop, and your streak isn't affected • Schedules — take something on set weekdays, every few days, on and off, or a few times a week; a day it isn't due never counts as missed • Reminders at your usual time — nutrx learns, on your device, when you usually log something and reminds you only when you're running late • Scan a label — point the camera at the Supplement Facts and the new nutrient fills itself in • Recaps — a short summary of your week every Sunday evening, and of each month and year: your full days, your steadiest nutrient, what slipped and your best run • Trends with Apple Health — how your intake lines up with your sleep, workouts and active energy. nutrx only reads from Health, and nothing it reads is stored or synced • Report for your doctor — a clean PDF of any period: goals, daily totals, hit rates and your notes • Widgets and controls — log a stack or a nutrient from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action button, and see one nutrient, or what's running low, on your Home and Lock Screens Labels and recaps are read and written on your iPhone, with Apple Intelligence where available. Nothing is uploaded. nutrx never recommends amounts; your goals are always yours to set. nutrx Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription (the yearly plan starts with a free week) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

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: vitamin D on weekends, a B12 shot on Mondays, every few days, or a 10-day course. 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. • Take all logs the rest of a time of day, in the app with Undo or from a reminder. • 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.
