KidneyRef

Terms of use

Effective date: July 7, 2026

Reference use

KidneyRef provides food reference values, daily logs, and rule-based nutrient limit comparisons. It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or replace advice from a clinician, renal dietitian, or care team.

Confirm personal limits, diet choices, and health decisions with your care team.

Food data

KidneyRef uses data from USDA SR Legacy and Open Food Facts. Product labels and source databases can be incomplete or out of date. "Not reported" does not mean zero.

Kidney Score

Kidney Score is computed offline from one serving's share of daily potassium, phosphorus, and sodium limits. It may add a phosphate-additive flag when ingredient data lists additives. It is not a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription.

Purchase

KidneyRef offers a one-time, non-consumable purchase after 10 free food detail lookups, unlocking full access permanently on that Apple ID. Payment is charged to the user's app store account after purchase confirmation. It is not a subscription and does not renew or expire.

Reinstalling the app or moving to a new device does not require paying again — use Restore purchase on the paywall to recover access.
