KidneyPal isn’t just a phone app. Pro members can also use it in a regular web browser at web.kidneypal.app — the same account, the same diary, the same recipes, just on a bigger screen with a real keyboard. Log lunch from your laptop at work, type meal descriptions instead of thumb-typing, or print your doctor report straight from the browser.
Who Can Use It
The web app is included with KidneyPal Pro — there’s no extra charge, and nothing new to install. If you’re not a Pro member yet, you can still sign in at web.kidneypal.app; you’ll see a subscribe screen instead of the app. For what Pro includes and how billing works, see Subscription & Billing.
One thing the web can’t do: create a new account. Accounts are created in the mobile app (setup asks the kidney health questions that personalize your limits). Set up on your phone first, then sign in on the web.
Signing In
Go to web.kidneypal.app in any modern browser and sign in with the same account you use in the app:
- Email and password — with a Forgot password? link if you need it
- Continue with Google
- Continue with Apple
Tip: Use the same sign-in method you use on your phone. If your browser blocks the Google or Apple sign-in window, allow pop-ups for the site and try again.
When you sign out on the web, KidneyPal also clears the data it cached in that browser — so it’s safe to use on a shared or work computer.
Finding the Link From Your Phone
No need to remember the address. In the mobile app, go to Settings → KidneyPal on the Web (in the Help section). From there you can:
- Send Me the Link — share the address to yourself by email, message, or any share option
- Copy Link — copy
https://web.kidneypal.appto paste anywhere
What You Can Do on the Web
Nearly everything. The web app covers the full daily loop and then some:
| Area | On the web |
|---|---|
| Diary | Your full day — nutrient budget, fluid tracking, all four meal sections, week calendar, streak, daily notes, and the binder tracker. Copy a whole day or just selected entries. See Your Daily Diary. |
| Log food | Six ways: Describe (type it, or speak it if your browser supports voice input), Photo (upload or drag and drop a meal photo for AI analysis), Label (upload a nutrition label photo, plus an optional ingredients photo), Barcode (scan with your webcam where supported, or type the number), Saved, and Manual. |
| Meal chat | Open any analyzed entry in your diary and ask follow-up questions, just like meal chat on your phone. |
| Recipes | Browse, search, and filter the whole library; favorite recipes; import, create, and edit your own; save a library recipe to My Recipes; ask questions about a recipe; add servings to your diary; print or save any recipe as a PDF. In the recipe editor you can also click any nutrient to type your own value — an edited badge marks it, and you can reset it to the AI’s number anytime. See Recipes. |
| Saved foods | Your favorites library with search, sorting (recently added, name, or safety level), editing, and one-click add to diary. |
| Progress | AI insights, nutrient trend charts over 7, 30, or 90 days, weight and blood pressure trends with full history, your scan history, and your notes. Click View All on the scan history to open the full Scan History page — a grid of every photo scan that loads more as you go, where you can select several scans and delete them at once. See Progress & Insights. |
| Doctor report | Generate your doctor report and use Print / Save PDF — often the easiest way to bring a paper copy to an appointment. |
| Weight & blood pressure | Quick-log both right from the diary, and review trends in Progress. |
| Settings | Theme, language (all 13 languages work on the web), units, kidney status, health conditions, diet preferences, optional nutrients, binder medications, custom limits, password, and subscription — plus the same support chat. |
What Stays on Your Phone
A few things only make sense on mobile:
- Creating your account and first-time setup — start in the app
- Point-and-shoot camera scanning — on the web you upload or drag in a photo instead of snapping one live (webcam scanning does work for barcodes)
- Apple Health sync — see Apple Health
- Meal reminders and push notifications — see Notifications
Everything Stays in Sync
The web app and the mobile app share one account and one database. Log breakfast on your laptop and it’s on your phone moments later; scan dinner with your phone camera and it shows up in the browser. There’s nothing to export, import, or back up — it’s simply the same diary, viewed from two places.
A gentle note: If you ever see the subscribe screen on the web even though you have Pro, make sure you signed in with the same account you use in the app, then click Already subscribed? Refresh. Still stuck? Email support@kidneypal.app and we’ll sort it out.
