YesLow in potassium and phosphorus. One of the easiest fruits to fit into a kidney day, most days.
Renaly tells people living with CKD, dialysis, a transplant or kidney stones what they can eat, how much of it, and what their labs actually mean — in about two seconds, against their own limits.
Renaly supports, and does not replace, your nephrologist or renal dietitian.

The idea
Most kidney apps hand you a list of banned foods. Renaly works out what's left in your day for potassium, phosphorus, sodium, protein and fluid, then tells you how much of this food fits.

Instant noodles
AvoidOne packet is most of a day's sodium, and the seasoning carries added phosphates on top.
A verdict isn't a property of the food. It's the food measured against what's left of your day. That's the whole product in one line.

The part nobody tells you
You photograph this
Chicken breast (78%), water, seasoning, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate (E451), dextrose, natural flavouring, yeast extract, disodium phosphate (E339), modified starch, rapeseed oil, spice extract, INS 450(i), citric acid.
Renaly flags this
| E451 | Sodium tripolyphosphate |
|---|---|
| E339 | Disodium phosphate |
| INS 450(i) | Diphosphates |
~100%
of added phosphorus is absorbed. It never has to be declared in milligrams.
40–60%
of natural phosphorus is absorbed — much is bound as phytate your body can't release.
Two foods can print the same phosphorus figure and land very differently, which is why Renaly reads the ingredient list rather than the nutrition panel.
Who it's for
Renaly asks what you're living with before it says anything about food.
Limits track your stage and your eGFR, with protein handled differently before dialysis than after.
Higher protein, tighter fluid. Dialysis-day mode counts down your fluid budget and tracks weight gain between sessions.
Different priorities again — food safety, sodium, and the lab values your team watches after a transplant.
Oxalate tracked alongside sodium, calcium and fluid, which is where stone advice usually lives.
A partner or adult child can see the day and log meals for you. End-to-end encrypted — the server only ever holds ciphertext.

Unknown is shown as unknown. When a food has no reliable figure for a nutrient, Renaly says so rather than filling in a zero. A zero you trust is worse than a gap you can see.

Questions
No. Renaly is a nutrition and lab tracking tool. It doesn’t diagnose, treat, cure, monitor or prevent any disease, and it isn’t a substitute for professional medical advice. Never change your diet, fluid intake, medication or dialysis routine because of something Renaly showed you — talk to your care team first.
The defaults are drawn from published kidney guidelines — KDIGO, KDOQI, the UK Kidney Association and the AUA — plus common renal dietitian practice, and they’re adjusted for your stage, dialysis type and weight.
They are starting points, not prescriptions. If your dietitian gave you different numbers, enter theirs in Limits and Renaly will use those instead. Entering a lab result never changes a limit on its own.
Your diary, labs, medications, dialysis sessions and profile stay in the app’s private storage on your device. There is no server copy.
A few features do reach the internet, and each one is listed in the privacy policy: barcode lookups send the barcode number, family sharing uploads an end-to-end encrypted snapshot, purchases go through Google Play, and optional usage analytics send app events that never contain health values.
Yes. The food database lives on your phone, so search, portions and verdicts all work with no connection. Barcode lookups for packaged products and the photo features need the internet.
Renaly is available worldwide on Google Play, in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Indonesian and Turkish. Cloud plate-photo logging isn’t offered in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland.
Not yet. Renaly is Android only at launch.
In the app under You → Subscription, or directly at play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions. You keep Plus until the period you already paid for ends. Cancelling doesn’t delete your data, and deleting your data doesn’t cancel a subscription.
Add it as a custom food with whatever values the label gives you, and it’ll be there next time. You can also combine ingredients into a saved meal and log the whole plate in one tap.
It will sometimes — it’s estimating from a picture. You can edit or remove every item before saving, and the nutrient figures always come from the food database rather than from the photo, so correcting the item corrects the numbers.
Free on Android, with the core food logging free forever.
