AutiPlate — a simple daily log for your child's food and supplements

Why this exists

My son Harim is autistic. Like a lot of families, we ended up following a careful eating plan alongside a long list of supplements, and I found myself trying to hold all of it in my head.

When his doctor asked how the last few weeks had gone, I never had a good answer. Notes were scattered across my phone, a notebook and my memory. So I built the thing I actually needed: somewhere to tick items off during a busy morning, that turns into a proper record by the time we sit down with a clinician.

What it does

Set up your child's usual meals and supplements once. After that, daily logging is a handful of taps.

📅

Tap, don't type

Foods and supplements appear as buttons under the right meal. Tap once for given, again for skipped. No forms to fill in.

💊

Supplements with timing

Set when each one is due — before breakfast, with dinner, before bed. Pair ones that go together, and set an end date for a short course.

😊

Mood and reactions

Log how the day went and anything you noticed, so you can look back for patterns rather than relying on memory.

📈

A record for appointments

Turn weeks of logging into a printable summary, or export the raw data as a spreadsheet.

🧪

Test results

Keep blood tests and lab panels in one place with dates, values and what the doctor said.

More than one child

Separate profiles, each with their own plan, supplements and history.

⚕️ What this is not

AutiPlate is a logging tool. It is not medical advice and it is not a medical device. It records what you tell it. That is all.

It does not recommend a diet. If you use the plan labels, they are the categories of a plan you have chosen — not guidance from this app. Elimination diets are not universally advised for autistic children and can affect growth and nutrition.
It does not recommend supplements. The list exists so you can record what you already give. Supplements interact with medicines and with each other, and some are not safe for children.
It cannot assess your child. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a second opinion.

Always speak to your child's doctor, paediatrician or a registered dietitian before starting, changing or stopping anything. If your child is unwell, contact a medical professional — not this app.

Your information

This is health information about a child, and it is treated that way. Here is the whole picture before you sign up, not buried in a policy afterwards.

What is stored

Your email address and an encrypted password
A name or nickname for your child — a nickname is fine, and better
What you log: meals, supplements, moods, notes, test records

What is never collected

No adverts, ever
Nothing sold or shared with anyone
No analytics, no tracking, no third-party scripts
No address, phone number, location or payment details

Your entries are locked to your account at the database, so no other user can read them. You can download everything as a file, or delete all of it permanently, from inside the app at any time.

Who it is for

Parents and carers following an eating plan for their child
Anyone keeping track of several supplements at different times of day
Families who want something concrete to show a doctor or dietitian
Anyone trying to work out whether a change actually made a difference

You do not need to be following any particular diet to use it. It works just as well as a plain record of meals and medicines.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes, and there are no adverts. It was built for one family and shared in case it helps others.

Do I have to use my child's real name?

No, and I would suggest not. A nickname or a single initial works exactly the same way. The app never needs to know who your child actually is.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — that is mainly how it is used. Open it in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen if you want it to behave like an app. There is nothing to install.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Everything you have logged can be downloaded as a file, and reports export as spreadsheets. You can also delete every trace of your account permanently, without asking anyone.

Will you tell me what to feed my child?

No. The app records what you decide, and does not suggest, recommend or endorse any diet or supplement. Those conversations belong with your child's doctor or dietitian.

Who built this?

One parent, for his own son, in his own time. It is not a company and there is no team behind it.

and what you give them.
