Supported allergens
Everything in your pocket
Built for travelers, families, and anyone who wants safer dining, at home or abroad.
Scan any menu
Use the iPhone app to scan a restaurant menu and instantly see which dishes likely contain your allergens, which you can likely substitute, and which are likely safe, based on your saved allergy profile.
Allergy cards in 12 languages
Create personalized cards for any of 10 major allergens. Each card includes the allergen name, a clear warning, foods to watch out for, and your emergency contact, fully translated. Your screen brightens automatically when you open a card for easy reading in any restaurant.
Find allergy-friendly restaurants
Search restaurants, cafes, and bakeries on an interactive Apple Maps-powered map. See community allergy-friendliness ratings on each result, then tap for address, phone, website, hours, and detailed ratings before opening the place in Apple Maps.
Share your experience
After you eat out, leave a quick rating for overall allergy friendliness and staff knowledge, with an optional comment. Your feedback helps others find safer places. Track your impact with Community Karma on your account.
Smart post-visit reminders
Optional on-device visit detection recognizes when you have left a restaurant and sends a friendly local notification inviting you to share a quick rating. Fully opt-in, works on your device only, and you can turn it off anytime, no push notifications, no tracking.
Instant access from your lock screen
Add a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget to pull up your allergy card in one tap, perfect when you are already seated and need to show your card fast.
Privacy first
Your allergy and health information is yours. We never sell your data, never track you across apps, and never send marketing push notifications. Account deletion is available anytime. Visit detection for reminders happens on-device using Apple APIs.
