Allergy and Food Intolerance Tracking, Simplified
Know What Your Baby Can Handle.
Log what your baby eats and how they feel. LittleClues looks at what happens after each food, then compares it to times that food wasn't around. You see which foods to watch. Logging is free, on iPhone, iPad and Android.








How It Works
From Scattered Notes to a Clear Answer
Four short steps. The logging takes seconds a day — LittleClues does the comparing.

Log what they ate
Foods and symptoms land on one day timeline — eaten directly, or passed on through breast milk.
Learn more
Capture the reaction
Rate it 1–5, add a note, and attach a photo of the rash. The picture stays tied to the moment it happened.
Learn more
See which foods stand out
Every food lands on a five-point chance scale, measured against your own child's baseline.

Set aside what you trust
Mark a food you already know is fine and it leaves Foods to watch, so the list stays about genuine suspects.

It Finds the Patterns For You.
Foods get eaten together and symptoms come and go, so the real trigger is genuinely hard to see by eye. LittleClues places every food on a five-point chance scale, measured against your own child's baseline — and always shows what the rating rests on. No percentages, just what your log actually says.

Illustrative example — your rankings come from your own log.
Compared to a baseline
Each food's reaction rate is weighed against how often symptoms happen during food-free stretches — so chronic, everyday fussiness doesn't make every food look guilty.
Find the real culprit
When two foods almost always show up together, LittleClues flags the companion that may actually be behind the reactions — "looks like banana, but check oat too."
On / off pattern check
If a food was paused and symptoms eased, then returned when it came back, that on-and-off pattern is surfaced as stronger corroboration worth mentioning to a doctor.
Breastfeeding-aware
Food your baby ate directly and food that reached them through breast milk are scored separately, on their own timescales — because those reactions don't show up the same way.
Ingredient-level honesty
Log a recipe like "mayo" once and insights still credit the individual ingredients — egg, oil, lemon — so a dish can never hide which component is the real trigger.
Calm on thin data
One reaction after one meal isn't treated as a certainty. The engine smooths small samples and waits for enough signal, so the rankings stay steady instead of crying "trigger" at everything.
One symptom at a time
Look at just the rash, or just the gas — each symptom gets its own counts and its own baseline. Picking one never distorts the reading on the others.
Foods you already trust
Mark a food safe and it steps out of Foods to watch without its rating changing — so the list stays about the foods you're genuinely trying to work out.
These insights are based only on patterns in your own log. They are not medical advice — always check with a healthcare professional about suspected allergies.
Full Feature Set
Everything You Need
LittleClues helps to reveal patterns between food intake and symptoms. Everything here is free — only features marked Pro need a subscription.
Calendar View
Daily and monthly overview of logged food and symptoms. See the big picture at a glance.
Search Everything You Have Logged
Filter by type, time range, intensity and how the food reached them; sort by most logged, recent or A–Z. Every item carries its own stats — how often, and when it was last eaten.
Allergy Timeline
Visualize when and how reactions occurred across weeks and months on a clear timeline.
Who Consumed?
Choose whether mom or baby ate the food. When mom ate it, LittleClues automatically links her diet to baby's reactions via breastmilk.
Photos on Symptoms
Attach a photo of a rash, hives or a swollen lip to the symptom itself, so the picture stays tied to the moment it happened. Stored on your device like everything else.
Safe Foods
Mark a food you already know agrees with your child and it leaves Foods to watch — without its rating changing. Free for up to 5 foods per child.
One Symptom at a Time
Analyse just the rash, or just the gas — each symptom gets its own counts and baseline. Or pool them into an Any symptom overview.
Less typing, more tracking
As you log, LittleClues suggests foods and symptoms you've recorded before — plus the foods that item is usually eaten alongside — so repeating an entry takes fewer taps.
Food Names in Your Language
The app itself is in English, but the built-in list of suggested food and symptom names comes in 10 languages — so names stay consistent, which is what makes the analysis work.
Multiple Children
Track as many children as you need in one app — each with their own name, color, log and history, and their own breastfeeding setting.
Symptom Severity
Rate how intense each reaction is on a 1 - 5 scale. Track whether symptoms are improving or worsening over time.
Meal Reminders
Optional breakfast, lunch, and dinner notifications at times you set, so logging becomes a habit you do not have to think about.
Backup & Restore
Export a backup to Files, iCloud, or Google Drive and restore it anytime. Photos travel with the data, and older backups always restore cleanly into newer versions.
Composite ProductsPro
Save a recipe once — mayo is egg, oil and lemon — and log it in a single tap. Insights still credit each ingredient, so a dish can never hide the real trigger.
PDF Report for Your DoctorPro
A clean, shareable summary over any date range you choose. Pick which sections go in, and which photos travel with them.

Common Questions
Everything parents usually ask about tracking food and symptoms with LittleClues.
What is LittleClues?
LittleClues is a food-allergy and symptom tracker for parents of babies and toddlers. You log what you and your little one eat and how they feel, and the app surfaces which foods are most likely behind their reactions.
Is LittleClues free?
Yes. All logging, photos and notes on symptoms, meal reminders, backup and restore, up to 5 safe foods per child, and a preview of the insights are free. LittleClues Pro is available for parents who want the full analysis — $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a 30-day free trial on the annual plan. Those are US storefront prices; the app always shows your own local price.
Is LittleClues available on iPhone and Android?
LittleClues is available on iOS (including iPad) and Android. The app interface is in English. The built-in list of suggested food and symptom names comes in 10 languages — English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese — and you can always type whatever you want.
How does LittleClues find food triggers?
It compares how often symptoms follow each food against how often symptoms happen anyway, during ordinary food-free stretches of your own log. Each food lands on a five-point chance scale — Very Low, Low, Moderate, High or Very High — or Needs more data if it has not been eaten on enough separate occasions yet. These are patterns to discuss with a doctor, not a diagnosis.
Why does it not show percentages?
Because the reaction rate and the rating answer different questions. A food could show a high percentage under a calm label, or the reverse, and no reader could reconcile the two. Instead LittleClues shows the raw counts from your log — how many occasions were followed by a symptom and how many were not — next to the same counts for ordinary food-free stretches.
What are safe foods?
Foods you already know agree with your child. Mark one safe and it steps out of Foods to watch, so the ranking stays about the foods you are genuinely trying to work out. Nothing is deleted and the rating never changes — and if the pattern later disagrees with you, the app flags it as worth another look. Free for up to 5 foods per child; unlimited with Pro.
Can I attach a photo of a rash?
Yes, and it is free. Photos attach to a symptom — a rash, hives, a swollen lip — from the camera or your photo library, so the picture stays tied to that symptom and the time it happened. They are stored on your device, never uploaded, and you can choose which ones go into the PDF report for your doctor.
Can I look at one symptom on its own?
Yes. You can analyse a single symptom — just the rash, say — and it gets its own reaction counts and its own baseline, fully isolated. Picking one symptom never distorts the reading on the others. There is also an Any symptom overview that pools them together.
Can it track reactions while breastfeeding?
Yes. Food your baby ate directly and food that reached them through breast milk are tracked separately and scored on their own timescales, since those reactions show up differently.
Is my data private?
LittleClues is local-first: your entries, foods, photos, profiles and settings stay on your device. There are no accounts and no server holds a copy of your log. Crash reporting and anonymous usage analytics are optional and can be turned off anytime.
Does LittleClues diagnose allergies?
No. These insights are based only on patterns in your own log. They are not medical advice — always check with a healthcare professional about suspected allergies.
Can I track more than one child?
Yes. You can add as many children as you need, each with their own name, color and breastfeeding setting, and keep a separate log for every one of them.
Can it remind me to log meals?
Yes. You can turn on optional breakfast, lunch and dinner notifications at times you choose, so logging becomes a habit.
Can I back up or export my logs?
Yes. You can export a backup to Files, iCloud or Google Drive and restore it later — photos travel with the data, and older backups always restore cleanly into newer versions. A doctor-shareable PDF report is included in LittleClues Pro.
