Rich and Luca
Built by Rich & Luca — I'm a single dad in Lisbon, and Luca is 3. I built Sprout because I was tired of guessing what he actually ate at grandma's. When you co-parent across cities, the invisible meals are the hardest part. This app is for every parent who's ever asked "did they even eat today?"

Everything you need

The only app built for how
families actually eat

Picky toddlers, multiple caregivers, invisible meals, food safety anxiety — Sprout is built around the real problems parents face every day.

📸
AI food recognition

Point your camera at any meal and Sprout identifies everything and calculates nutrition in under 3 seconds. No typing. No barcodes. Works on home cooking, restaurants, and grandma's kitchen.

🛡️
Age-safe food guide

Every scan checks the meal against your child's exact age. Grapes flagged for choking. Peanut butter shows how to serve safely. No more Googling "can 3 year old eat X" at the dinner table.

🔥
Streaks & daily quests

Built on the same habit loop as Duolingo. Daily quests, gem rewards, streak shields, and a nutrition score turn healthy eating into something your family actually looks forward to.

👨‍👩‍👦
The invisible meals — solved

Grandma, the childminder, your co-parent — anyone can log meals with just a link. No app needed. You finally see the full picture of what your child ate today, wherever they were.

📅
Meal calendar

A colour-coded calendar shows every day your child has eaten. Green for great nutrition days, amber for okay, red for gaps. Three months of eating in one glance.

⭐
Daily nutrition score

A 0–100 score turns complex nutrition data into one number. Pip's mood matches the score — celebrating great days, gently nudging on bad ones. No guilt, just awareness.

Know what's safe
before they take a bite

Every parent of a toddler has typed "can 3 year old eat X" at some point. Sprout answers that question before you even think to ask it — baked into every meal scan.

📈
Updates as your child grows
Safety guidance changes with every birthday. Set the age once — Sprout updates everything. Grapes go from quarters to halves to whole as they get older.
📗
Evidence-based, not forum-based
Our food safety database is built on paediatric feeding research. Not parenting forums. Not "my health visitor said". Actual science, for actual toddlers.
🌍
Every cuisine, every food
From jerk chicken to congee to pasta — the AI recognises foods from all cultures and checks them the same way. Your family's food is valid here.
The invisible meals — solved

You can't be there
for every meal.
Now you don't have to be.

Grandma in Birmingham. Mum in London. Dad in Lisbon. Every caregiver can log what they fed your child with just a link — no app, no account, no friction.

From our beta testers

What parents are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"My son is 2 and I genuinely had no idea what he was eating at nursery and at his dad's. Sprout is the first thing that's actually helped — not because it's clever, just because it's easy."

👩
Emma T.
Mum of 1 · Bristol · Beta tester
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The food safety thing is honestly the best feature. My daughter is 14 months and I've been scared of choking since weaning. Now I just scan and it tells me exactly how to cut things."

👨
Marcus K.
Dad of 1 · Manchester · Beta tester
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I co-parent and the tension around 'he didn't eat properly at yours' was constant. We both just use Sprout now. We both see the data. It's removed a whole category of argument."

👩

Questions

Everything you're wondering

When does Sprout launch?
We're building right now and getting close. Join the waitlist to be first to know — and to lock in founding member pricing before we go public. iOS first, Android coming shortly after.
Do caregivers need to download the app?
No. You share a unique link. They tap it, open a simple web form, log the meal. No account, no download. The meal appears in your family feed immediately.
How accurate is the AI food recognition?
Very. We use Claude Vision API, one of the most capable food recognition models available. It handles most home-cooked meals, restaurant dishes, and world cuisines. If unsure, it tells you and lets you confirm.
Is my child's data safe?
Your data is stored securely with row-level security. We never sell data to advertisers. No ads. You own your data and can delete everything any time from settings. Read our Privacy Policy.
What ages does Sprout support?
From weaning (around 6 months) through to age 12. Rich built this for Luca who's 3 — so the toddler years are especially well covered. Safety guidance calibrates for each stage automatically.
Can I track multiple children?
Yes. Free supports 1 child profile. Pro supports up to 4, each with their own age-specific safety settings, nutrition score, and streak tracker. Twins, siblings, all covered.
