Track every pill, vitamin, and medication you take for free, with barcode scanning, reminders, streaks, and multi-device sync built in. AI advisor optional with Pro.
Most supplement apps just remind you to swallow pills. Basic Intake helps you know what your stack is actually doing, and never run out of it. Scan a bottle, see every nutrient you're getting measured against the RDA, ask an AI advisor that reads your real Apple Health data, and get a heads-up before you run low.
No bro science. No 47-pill stacks. A clean daily tracker, plus the context and reminders to make it effortless.

SCAN ANY BOTTLE
Point your camera at a barcode to add a supplement instantly: name, brand, and dose auto-filled. Barcode not recognized? Snap the Supplement Facts panel and our AI reads the label directly. Every bottle, every brand.
———
NEVER RUN OUT
Turn on Restock Reminders and Basic Intake tracks how much you have left of each supplement as you check it off. Get a heads-up days before you run dry, then refill in a single tap. Fully optional, off by default, and easy to ignore if your supplements auto-ship.

KNOW WHAT YOUR STACK IS ACTUALLY DOING
The Nutrient Totals dashboard shows exactly how much of each vitamin and mineral you're getting across your entire stack. We track against the RDA, flag gaps, and warn when you're approaching upper limits. Tap any nutrient to learn what it does and what your amount really means.

AN AI ADVISOR THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS YOU
Your assistant sees your full stack, your goals, and (if you connect Apple Health) your real sleep, activity, and heart rate data. Ask anything:
• "Should I take magnesium in the morning?"
• "Does my stack cover my vitamin D needs?"
• "What interacts with my medications?"
• "Has my energy improved since starting magnesium?"
Real answers for your body, not generic advice pulled from the internet.

ON EVERY DEVICE, ALWAYS IN SYNC
Your stack stays current across iPhone and Apple Watch automatically. Check something off on your watch and it's already updated on your phone. Everything syncs securely over iCloud in the background, so you never lose your place. And your data is yours: export a full backup anytime and restore it in a tap.

HOW IT WORKS
Already taking supplements? Scan your bottles or type your stack and we analyze it for timing, interactions, and redundancies, then show you how to get more from what you already take.
Starting from scratch? Answer a few questions about your goals, sleep, energy, or diet, and we recommend a simple starting point tailored to you.

THE BASIC INTAKE PHILOSOPHY
Think of it as an opportunity to declutter your wellness. Not more pills, smarter ones, at the right time, for your goals.
Basic Intake is an informational tool. It is not medical advice. Always consult your doctor before starting or changing any supplement regimen.
