How to make an app for a dietitian

A dietitian's work is follow-ups: a new plan every week or two, a weight check every Monday, a package that ends next week. An app keeps every client's plan, measurements and package dates in one place, so you are not searching old WhatsApp chats for what you told someone.

Who uses the app

Usually just you, on your own phone, so the data can stay on that phone. If an assistant also books clients, or you want clients to open their own plan in the app, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in so each client sees only their own plan.

The screens a dietitian app needs

Today: Clients due for a follow-up call or check-in today, and packages that end this week
Clients: Search by name or phone; each client's goal, food habits (veg, Jain, egg), allergies and conditions they told you about
Diet plan: Early morning, breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, evening and dinner for each client, with swaps for fasting days
Check-ins: Weight, waist and notes by date, with a simple chart to see the trend
Packages: Who is on a one-month or three-month package, start and end dates, and what is paid
Settings: Your name, fees, a meal-plan template you reuse, and a backup of the data

Features worth asking for

A button that opens WhatsApp with the client's diet plan for the week written out, ready to send
A diet plan as a PDF to share or print, with your name and logo on it
Reusable meal templates: a diabetic-friendly day, a PCOS day, a Jain day, so a new plan starts from one
A follow-up reminder button that opens WhatsApp with 'Please send your Monday weight' ready
A list of packages ending in the next seven days, with a renewal message
Hindi labels for food items if you share plans with Hindi-speaking families

Where the data lives

If only you use it, the data stays on your phone and works offline. For an assistant or for clients opening their own plans, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in; to take package fees online, connect your own Razorpay account too.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Today, Clients, Diet plan, Check-ins, Packages.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your dietitian, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my practice as a dietitian, Ritu Jain Nutrition, Indore. Screens: today, clients, diet plan, check-ins, packages and settings. Each client has a goal, food type (veg, Jain, egg), allergies and conditions. A diet plan has six meal times with swaps for fasting days. Check-ins record weight and waist by date with a chart. Packages are one or three months with start and end dates and payments. Add WhatsApp buttons to send the week's plan and ask for the Monday weight, and make the plan a PDF. Green and cream colours.

Tips for a dietitian app

Start with clients, diet plans and check-ins. Add packages and templates after you have used it for a week or two.
Write two or three of your usual plans as templates first; most new plans will start from one of them.
Clients' health conditions and reports are private. Keep the app on your own phone with a screen lock, and use sign-in if anyone else opens it.
Ask AppCub to show weight in kg and waist in inches or cm, the way you already note them.
Try it with one test client for a full week, from first consultation to the next check-in, before moving real clients in.

What it costs

Describing your app and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
A new app usually takes 60 to 110 credits. Start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits, enough for one app and a few changes) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499. Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
Google Play needs a paid plan (it includes the Play Store bundle and your app’s signing key) and your own Google Play developer account, a one-time US$25 fee to Google.
Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to weighing scales, fitness bands or calorie-counting apps; clients send their readings and you type them in. Messages are not sent by themselves: each follow-up goes when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can clients see their own diet plan in the app?

Yes, if you connect your own Supabase database and add sign-in, so each client sees only their plan. Without that, send the plan as a PDF or on WhatsApp.

Can the app count calories for each meal?

You can ask for calories or portions next to each item, which you type in. AppCub doesn't include a ready food database, so add the foods you use most.

Can I track a client's weight over weeks?

Yes. Ask for a check-ins screen with weight and waist by date and a simple chart, so you and the client can see the trend.

Can clients pay for a package in the app?

Yes, with a payment button from your own Razorpay account after you connect Razorpay and Supabase. The money goes to you, not AppCub.

Can I make plans for clients who fast on some days?

Yes. Ask for swaps on chosen days, such as Navratri or Ekadashi meals, so the same plan shows a different menu on those days.
