The food diary built for your liver
Most diet apps count calories. LiverPal tracks the nutrients liver doctors focus on: sodium, protein, added sugar and saturated fat. Snap a photo of your plate, see if it's liver-friendly, and bring a clear report to your next appointment.
Calories aren't the whole story
With a liver condition, the numbers that matter are different. Too much salt can bring on fluid build-up. Too little protein can cost you muscle. Added sugar and saturated fat feed a fatty liver. LiverPal keeps all of them in view, every day.

- Scan the barcode on packaged foods for exact label values
- Search a large food database
- Import a recipe from any recipe website (Premium)
Know what's safe at a glance
Every food you log gets a grade based on its sodium, added sugar and saturated fat, so problem foods stand out before they add up.

How does the AI meal scanner work?
Take a photo of your meal and LiverPal's AI identifies the foods and estimates their nutrients. You can check and adjust the numbers before saving. Photo estimates are approximate, so for packaged foods, scanning the barcode gives the most precise numbers.

Is my health data private?

Is LiverPal a substitute for my doctor or dietitian?
No. LiverPal is a tracking and education tool, not a medical device, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition. Always follow your care team's advice, especially if you have been given specific sodium, fluid or protein limits.
Is LiverPal available on Android?

Can caregivers use LiverPal?
