Why we built it
Keeping a food and symptom diary is hard.
Dietitians often ask people with suspected histamine intolerance to keep a detailed food and symptom diary. In practice that means notes apps, half-remembered lunches and screenshots you can’t find in the appointment.
We wanted a diary you’d actually keep up with: one photo per meal, quick fixes when the AI gets something wrong, and a report your clinician can read in two minutes.
How it works
Three taps per meal
Designed for the moment before you eat, when your food is still warm and you just want to get on with it.
- 1
Snap your meal
Take a photo before you eat. No barcode scanning, no searching through food databases.
- 2
Check what AI found
Ingredients, calories, protein, carbs and fat appear in seconds. Missed the garlic? Tap to fix it.
- 3
Log how you feel
Mark no reaction, mild, moderate or severe, and add notes like “flushing an hour later”.
Features
Everything your food diary needs, and nothing it doesn’t
You have the final say
AI makes mistakes. Rename, remove or add ingredients and quantities, and for meals you’ve logged before it suggests the ingredients you used last time.
Calories & macros
An estimate of calories, protein, carbs and fat for every meal, plus a daily summary on your home screen.
Reaction log
Four levels from none to severe, plus “not sure yet” for when symptoms show up hours later. Add the details in your own words.
Spot possible triggers
See which ingredients show up most often in meals that came with a reaction, by week, fortnight or month.
Export for appointments
Share a clean PDF or CSV of your meals, ingredients and reactions with your dietitian or doctor.
For dietitians & doctors
A diary you can read in the appointment
Patients can export a date range as a landscape PDF or a CSV: every meal with time, ingredients, reaction level and their own notes, plus the ingredients that came up most in meals with reactions.
- Time-stamped meals, not reconstructed from memory
- Ingredient-level detail, corrected by the patient
- CSV for your own analysis, PDF for the file

Good questions
Something else? Ask us when you sign up. We read every message.
Does the app tell me whether a food is high in histamine?
No. Histamine levels vary a lot with freshness, storage and preparation, and tolerance is very individual. Histamine Balance records exactly what you ate and how you reacted, so you and your dietitian can find your own patterns.
Is this medical advice?
No. It’s a diary and pattern-spotting tool. It doesn’t diagnose histamine intolerance or recommend treatment. Use it alongside a qualified doctor or registered dietitian.
How accurate is the AI?
It’s usually close, but it can miss hidden ingredients (sauces, spices, marinades) and calorie estimates are approximate. That’s why every ingredient is editable before you save.
Where is my data stored?
Your diary is stored on your phone. Meal photos are sent to our server only to be analysed, and your exports are only shared when you choose to share them.
Which phones does it support?
iPhone and Android. We’re finishing the cross-platform version now. Join early access and we’ll email you when it’s ready.
How much will it cost?
AI analysis has a real cost per photo, so the app will have a subscription. We’ll share pricing before launch, and early-access members hear first.
