A recovery app that does not count.
Nuro helps you build a steady eating rhythm and notice how food actually affects your energy and your mood. No calorie counts. No streaks to protect. No cartoon rewards. Just the part of recovery that happens between appointments, made easier to keep doing.
No calorie counts · Built on the treatment research · Works with your care team
Today
Your rhythm
Well fueled so far. Your afternoon snack is next, around 3:30.
What Nuro noticed
Your energy runs steadier on days you eat before 10am.
Coach
I do not do numbers here. But that lunch is doing its job.
We built this the other way first, then read the research.
Nuro originally showed calories and macros openly, on the theory that adults can handle their own information. The evidence on that is one-sided, so we took the numbers out.
73%
of eating disorder patients in one study said calorie-tracking apps contributed to their disorder. The harm showed up regardless of why people were tracking, including when they were trying to eat more.
Zero
evidence-based treatment protocols ask the patient to count calories. CBT-E, the leading outpatient treatment for adults, explicitly rules calorie counting out of self-monitoring.
Faster
weight restoration has been reported in programs where patients did not see the numbers at all. Withholding intake figures from the patient does not slow recovery down.
What Nuro will never show you
- Calorie counts, per meal or per day
- A weight or a goal weight
- Streaks that reset when you have a hard day
- Red and green scoring of what you ate
- Points, levels, badges, or a leaderboard
- Step counts, exercise minutes, or calories burned
The one exception
If you are working with a clinician and they decide a specific number genuinely helps you, they can open it for you from their dashboard, one nutrient at a time, and close it again later.
What we do not do is let you turn that on for yourself at 2am. That decision belongs in a conversation with someone who knows your history. There is no self-serve calorie mode in Nuro, and there will not be one.
Nuro is a support tool, not a treatment. It does not diagnose anything and it is not a replacement for care. If you are unwell, please work with a clinician.
For adults doing this in the middle of a real life.
Work, parenting, travel, training, a partner who wants to help and does not know how. Recovery has to fit around all of it. Nuro is built for adults, not for a simplified version of one.
Between appointments
You see a therapist or dietitian every week or two, and the days in between are where it gets hard. Nuro keeps the structure going, and gives your care team something real to start the next session from.
After a program ended
The first year after treatment is the most fragile, and it is usually when support drops away fastest. Nuro is built for that stretch: rhythm, reflection, and an honest read on how a week actually went.
On a waitlist, or on your own
You are trying to eat regularly without a team behind you yet. Nuro will not hand you a target to hit. It will help you build the habit that treatment would start with anyway.
Everything you need, nothing to grind for.
Thoughtful tools that respect your time and your recovery.
Your day, as a rhythm
Home shows today as a row of meals: what has happened, what is next, and one gentle line about how the day is going. Regular eating is the part of recovery with the strongest evidence behind it, and it is the thing Nuro actually measures.
Logging that takes seconds
Snap a photo, describe it in a few words, or just mark the slot. Nuro recognises the meal so you do not have to itemise anything. There is no portion entry, no barcode scanner, and nothing to add up.
Fuel and Feel
A quick read on your energy after eating, turned into patterns over time. Your energy runs steadier on days you eat before 10am. Long gaps tend to flatten your afternoons. Observations, never scores.
A coach that will not count
Dietitian-style guidance in food terms: what to add, what a meal is doing for you, ideas for tonight. Ask it for a calorie figure and it will warmly decline and answer the real question instead.
Plate guidance, not arithmetic
When you want to know whether a meal was enough, Nuro shows you a plate: proportions and food groups, scaled up if you are restoring weight or training hard. No grams, no measuring cups.
Connected to your care team
If you work with a clinician or dietitian, Nuro shares what you agree to share, and the app tells you plainly what they can see. They can also open specific numbers for you if that serves your recovery.
The grown-up companion to Pippa.
Nuro comes from the same team behind Pippa, our recovery app for younger users. Both hide the numbers, for the same reason. What changes is everything around that: the tone, the framing, and how much the app assumes about your life.
Under the hood they share the same secure infrastructure and the same clinician dashboard, so a practice can run both. Nuro is the version made for adults.
Honest by default.
Recovery is personal. Nuro treats your information with care and keeps you in control.
Your journal stays yours
Journal entries are private to you. They are not shared with your clinician unless you choose to share them.
You always know what they see
Connecting to a care team is opt-in, and the app states plainly what your clinician can and cannot see. Nothing about that is buried, because not knowing is its own kind of pressure.
No selling your data
We do not sell your personal or health information. Your data supports your experience and your care, and nothing else.
