Everything in one small app

Built for real kitchens: quick to use, forgiving when you are busy, and careful with the people who matter most.

Snap a photo

Point at your plate. Nura finds each food, estimates the portion and shows calories, protein, carbs and fat. Fix anything before you log it.

Scan a barcode

Packaged food in seconds, from an open product database. Choose how much you actually had, from half a serving to three.

Type or say it

“2 rotis with dal and a bowl of curd” becomes an itemised meal. Or search 158 everyday Indian and global foods, even with typos.

Works offline

No signal in the kitchen or on the train? Log meals, water and weight anyway. Everything syncs by itself when you are back online.

One account, the whole family

Add up to six people, each with their own targets, meals, water and weight. Switch profiles with one tap.

Built to be safe for kids

Targets for children use paediatric energy guidelines, never a weight-loss deficit under 18, and ask for a parent's confirmation under 13.

Recipes and a 7-day plan

62 recipes and a weekly plan made for each person's age, diet and allergies. Swap a meal, log it, or send the shopping list to your phone.

Fridge Raider

Photograph what you have. Nura lists the ingredients it sees and suggests macro-friendly recipes from them.

Water and weight

Daily water goals that fit age and activity, and a weight trend that warns you if you are losing weight too fast.

Reminders that don't nag

Meal, water and weigh-in nudges at times you choose. Skipped automatically if you just ate, and never at night.

Steps and workouts

Connect Health Connect to bring in steps, active calories, workouts and weight from your watch or fitness app. Or log a workout by hand.

Your data is yours

Download everything as spreadsheets or JSON, print a summary for your doctor or dietitian, or delete your account whenever you like.

For parents

Nutrition that respects growing bodies

  • Energy needs from paediatric guidelines, by age and sex
  • Never a calorie deficit or weight-loss goal for anyone under 18
  • A parent confirms the profile for children under 13
  • No “earn your food with exercise” maths for kids
  • Growth-focused coaching: fruit, milk, curd and variety
  • Meal plans respect allergies and diets for every member

Privacy you can read in a minute

We never sell your data. You can export or delete it at any time.

Read the privacy policy
  • Your account, your data

    Only you and the family profiles you create can see your meals, water and weight.

  • Photos go to AI, openly

    Meal photos are analysed by Google Gemini. Prefer not to share a photo? Search, barcode and manual entry never send one.

  • Health data only if you connect it

    Nura reads from Health Connect only after you pair it and grant access, and never writes to it. Disconnect any time.

  • Take it with you

    One tap exports spreadsheets or JSON. Passwords are never included.

Install in under a minute

  1. 1

    Download the file

    Tap Download for Android. If your browser says the file type can be harmful, that is Android's standard message for any app outside the Play Store. Choose Download anyway.

  2. 2

    Open it

    Tap the downloaded “nura.apk” from the notification or your Downloads folder.

  3. 3

    Allow the install

    If Android asks, allow installs from your browser (Settings → Install unknown apps). This is needed only once. Then tap Install.

  4. 4

    Open Nura and sign up

    Create an account, add yourself and your family, and log your first meal.

Trouble installing? (tap to open)
  • “App not installed”: free up some storage (it needs about 20 MB) and try again.
  • Play Protect warning: choose “Install anyway”. Nura is not on the Play Store yet, so Google has not scanned it.
  • Update: install the newer file over the old one. Your data stays on your account.

Questions, answered

Is Nura really free?

Yes. Download it and use every feature for free. The three features that cost real money to run — AI photo scan, AI typing/voice and Fridge Raider — are limited to 10 a day on the free plan, and the counter resets at your midnight. Search, barcodes, recipes, meal plans, water, weight, reminders and exports are never limited. A Premium plan with unlimited AI scans is coming soon.

Why isn't it on the Play Store?

It is coming. Until then you install it directly from this page. The file is signed by us and its checksum is shown below so you can verify it. Android may ask you to allow installs from your browser once.

Is the APK safe to install?

Nura asks only for what its features need: camera (to scan), microphone (voice input), notifications (reminders) and, only if you connect it, Health Connect read access. You can compare the SHA-256 shown on this page with the file you downloaded.

Which phones does it work on?

Android 10 or newer. It is built as a small native app (under 4 MB). Health Connect sync is built in on Android 14 and newer; on Android 9 to 13 you also need Google's free Health Connect app.

What happens to my photos?

Meal and fridge photos are sent securely to Google's Gemini AI to be analysed. On Gemini's free tier Google may review submitted photos to improve its products. Text you type or speak is processed by an AI text service (Groq). If you would rather not share photos, use search, barcode or manual entry. Details are in the privacy policy.

Does it work without internet?

Logging does. Meals you search or enter, water and weight are saved on the phone and sync later. AI photo and text analysis, and barcode lookups, wait until you are online and then run automatically.

Can I use it for my children?

Yes, that is a core use. Each child gets their own profile with age-appropriate targets. Nura never sets a weight-loss deficit for anyone under 18 and does not let children “earn back” food with exercise.

Is Nura medical advice?

No. It is a tracking and education tool, not a medical device. If you or your child has a medical condition, an eating disorder or special dietary needs, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian.

I found a bug. How do I tell you?

Nura is in testing and we read everything. In the app go to Profile → Send feedback and tell us what happened. It takes under a minute and helps a lot.

How do I delete my data?

In the app: Profile → Your data to download everything, and Profile → Delete Account to remove your account and everything attached to it.
