Describe what you're eating Restaurant + menu item ("Chick-fil-A grilled chicken sandwich"), brand + product ("Campbell's chicken noodle soup"), or just describe it ("grilled salmon, rice, and broccoli").

Scan a grocery barcode Looks up nutrition from Open Food Facts, a free public product database. Coverage varies by product, and potassium/phosphorus are often missing — a photo scan is usually more complete for kidney-diet decisions.

Photo of ingredients on hand Fridge, pantry, counter — we'll suggest recipes built around what you already have, filtered for your conditions above.

Fluid tracker Photograph each drink — we estimate net fluid (cup size, fill level, and ice all counted) and total it against your daily limit.

Fluid volume is AI-estimated from a photo and may be inaccurate (unusual containers, crushed ice, etc). Your daily fluid allowance should come from your nephrologist or dialysis care team, not a default — set the number they give you above.

Daily limits Optional — set numbers from your care team so Salty Hippo can warn you when a day goes over.

Calendar Tap a day to see its full log. A colored dot means that day went over one of your limits.
