It's easy to consume too much sodium (salt), resulting in high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, stomach cancer, and swelling of the feet and legs. This app can help you lower your intake.
Set your target daily sodium intake based on the information provided in the app derived the USDA and US HHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 or as advised by your healthcare provider. You can change this target at any time (see App Preview 1).
Record the foods/beverages and amounts you eat using the barcode scanner, dictation (touch the microphone icon), favoriting foods, or search (see App Preview 2) and using the serving sizes provided. The serving sizes are mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central, but can be changed at any time. Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time.
You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and sodium intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers.
Synchronize the app with all your Apple devices and First Line Medical Communications Ltd apps. Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share data with Apple's Health app.
The app is curated and contains 325+ common (mainly healthy) foods and drinks and you can add your own branded and other foods and recipes at any time using the barcode scanner, dictation, or the keyboard. This means that provided you add your barcoded foods to the app via the "Add food" tab the app can function without access to the Internet (it will need access to the internet and OpenFoodFacts.org if a barcode is not in the app's database).
Also useful nutritional information via the Info tab (see App Preview 3).
The interface is intuitive to navigate, but you may find it useful to familiarise yourself with the full functionality of the app by touching the icons, words, and bars on every screen and swiping left and right on the Tracker screen.
