GoutTracker
Record clearly. See what is missing. Prepare for care.
GoutTracker helps you record chosen food portions and times, water volumes, uric-acid results, and symptom episodes. Your basic editable history remains available without a subscription and without an account.
What it does
- Shows the calculation and source status behind each recorded food estimate.
- Separates unknown, partial, and explicitly completed diary days.
- Preserves original uric-acid values and units while charting against a target you record.
- Keeps one editable symptom episode with onset uncertainty and resolution.
- Creates a previewable appointment report with coverage and uncertainty stated plainly.
- Shows recorded purine beside an optional daily reference line you choose, with its source listed.
Free and Pro
Food lookup and editable food, water, lab, and symptom history are free. Pro adds weekly coverage summaries, uric-acid trend charts, descriptive pre-symptom history, and flexible appointment reports. Any free trial is shown only when Apple confirms that the account is eligible; the Apple purchase sheet shows the final terms.
Sources and limits
Food rows are labeled source-verified only when they include an exact reviewed citation; other rows remain estimates. Recorded purine is not an overall gout-risk score, and a food recorded before symptoms is not proof of a trigger or cause. GoutTracker is educational and does not diagnose gout, prescribe treatment, or replace a clinician.

Common questions
What is Gout Diet & Uric Acid Tracker?
An iPhone diary, shown as GoutTracker on your Home Screen. Look up the estimated purine in common foods, log what you ate and drank with running totals for the day, and keep your uric acid results and flare notes in the same place.
Is it free?
Food lookup and logging of food, water, uric acid results and flares are free and need no subscription. Pro is an optional monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription that adds a chart of your uric acid readings over time, insights that list the foods you logged in the 48 hours before each flare (shown as patterns, not proof) and a PDF of your records for appointments. Apple shows the price for your region, and any free trial you are eligible for, before you buy.
Does the app tell me what to eat or how to treat gout?
No. It is a personal food and symptom diary. It does not diagnose gout, give medical advice, prescribe treatment or replace your doctor or rheumatologist. Keep to the plan you have agreed with them.
Where do the purine figures come from?
Each food shows an estimated purine figure per 100 g in one of four bands, from low to very high. Since version 1.8, 35 foods use published measured values with their source listed; foods without a published measurement are marked as estimates. Real amounts change with portion size, recipe and cooking.
What is the daily reference line?
An optional line you set in Settings or during first-time setup: a published figure, a number from your care team, or none. Today and the widget show your recorded total beside it. Recorded purine is not an overall gout-risk score.
Which uric acid units does it support?
mg/dL and µmol/L. Your original values and units are kept as you entered them.
Does it count anything besides purine?
Yes. Fructose and alcohol are counted beside purine, and water has its own daily total.
Can I log without opening the app?
Log Food and Log Water work from Shortcuts. A Home Screen widget shows today's totals, and Lock Screen widgets show today's purine and water.
Is the app available in Arabic?
Yes. Since version 1.8 the app is available in English and Arabic.
Do I need an account? Who can see my diary?
No account is needed. The App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected: your diary stays on your device and is not sent to the developer.
How it differs from other ways to keep a record
Many people already track gout-related habits somehow. This is how the app compares with the common options; none of them, this app included, replaces care from a clinician.
- Printed purine tables
- Good for a quick look-up, but they don't add up your day or remember what you ate before a flare. The app keeps the figures, your totals and your flare notes together, and labels which values are measured and which are estimates.
- General calorie and nutrition trackers
- They are built around calories and macronutrients. This app is built around purine, fructose, alcohol and water, plus uric acid results and flares.
- A paper diary or notes app
- Flexible and free, but there are no running totals, no unit handling for lab results and no report. This app keeps the same freedom to write your own flare notes.
- Your clinic's lab portal
- It holds your official results. This app only stores the numbers you type in, so you can see them next to your food and flare history.
Categories are described in general terms; features of other products vary, so check them for yourself.
