Lipida

Lipida is a focused, private cholesterol tracker built around a free, accurate LDL calculator. Enter your Total Cholesterol, HDL and Triglycerides and get your LDL in seconds ā calculated with both the classic Friedewald equation and the more accurate Martin-Hopkins method, which gives you a better estimate at low LDL and high triglyceride levels where the old formula falls short. FREE LDL CALCULATOR ⢠Two methods side by side: Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins. ⢠Also computes non-HDL cholesterol and your Total:HDL ratio. ⢠Clear, color-coded risk bands so the numbers actually mean something. TRACK EVERY PANEL ⢠Save each result as a dated lab panel and build a complete history. ⢠See where you started and where you are now at a glance. SEE YOUR TRENDS ⢠Charts for LDL, Total and HDL over time. ⢠Spot the direction of travel between tests, not just a single snapshot. STAY ON SCHEDULE ⢠Set a local reminder for your next lab test so you never miss a check-up. PANEL REPORTS ā OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE ⢠Preview saved panels for a date range for free. ⢠Unlock PDF and CSV exports with a single purchase. No subscription. ⢠Calculator, history, trends, reminders and PDF import remain free. ⢠Blood cholesterol panels stay in Lipida; Apple Health does not provide a serum cholesterol type. US AND INTERNATIONAL UNITS ⢠Full support for both mg/dL (US) and mmol/L (Australia and UK). ⢠Switch units anytime ā the math stays correct. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠Tracking works offline. Purchases and restore require the App Store. Your data stays on your device. ⢠No ads, no accounts required, no tracking. Lipida is an informational tool, not a medical device, and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always talk to your doctor about your results and any decisions regarding your health.
