Your pet has a new home: your Home Screen and Lock Screen! Log meals with a photo or a few words, build healthy habits, and try every feature without signing up.
Sprout was conceived, designed, and developed by Heeva Alavi, a 17-year-old student developer. Sprout is a fun nutrition tracker for teens and adults who want to better understand their food choices, build healthier habits, and learn which foods are linked to cancer risk. You can use all of the features without even creating an account!
LOG FOOD YOUR WAY
• Take a picture of your food and AI will identify everything, OR
• Add foods manually with flexible serving and food-group details, OR
• Type or voice-enter the description of your food and AI will figure it out.
• Use AI or don’t–completely up to you!
YOUR PET HELPS YOU BUILD HEALTHIER HABITS
• Care for a virtual Sprout pet as you keep logging and building routines.
• Follow daily food-group goals and view progress over time.
• Personalize dietary preferences, cuisines, and notification settings.
• Create an account to securely save and access your food log, preferences, and settings.
UNDERSTAND FOOD-CATEGORY EVIDENCE
• See clear indicators when a logged food matches a supported food category associated with increased cancer risk.
• Open food details to review the matched category, explanation, and evidence-source links.
• Sprout uses a bundled, versioned evidence catalog and deterministic matching rules for these indicators—not an AI-generated cancer classification.
PRIVACY AND CONTROL
• Choose whether to enable optional AI food analysis.
• Change your AI choice later in Privacy & AI settings.
• Delete individual food entries or permanently delete your account in the app.
• Sprout does not display third-party advertising or track you across apps and websites.
• Use every feature without providing a name, email address, or password.
IMPORTANT
Sprout provides educational nutrition information. Food-category indicators describe general evidence about categories and do not predict personal cancer risk or quantify how much an individual food changes that risk. Category matches can be wrong, especially for homemade or ambiguous foods. Sprout is not a medical service and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Consult a qualified health professional before making health-related decisions.
Ratings & Reviews
More accurate food-group goals
Portions now convert using each food's own weights, so rice, pasta, oatmeal, beans, leafy greens and many other foods count correctly toward your daily goals. Mixed dishes like burritos, sandwiches and mac and cheese now credit every food group they contain, and the Add Food and Edit Food sheets show exactly how much each portion adds to each goal.
A calmer look at cancer-risk evidence
Evidence notes now point you to the research on a food category instead of labeling the food itself, and they look the same on the Add Food sheet, your food log and the Edit Food sheet. A new "How to read these notes" page, available from the Dashboard and Food Detail, explains that diet is one factor among many, with quotes from the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society.
Plus several other small fixes!
