About Purine0

Why I made this

Purine0 is a personal project. The creator lives with gout and knows the sleepless nights, the fear at every meal, the lab slips lost in a drawer — this app began as self-help and grew into something worth sharing.

I know that pain

Gout is more than a number on a test. It's the night you can't sleep because your toe is on fire, the menu you stare at without knowing what's safe, the medication you take faithfully yet still wake up swollen.

Because I've lived it, I didn't want another cold dashboard — I wanted a companion I'd actually open between clinic visits.

Why I built this

I couldn't find an app that truly connected uric acid, diet, water, medication and flares from a patient's point of view. So I built one in my spare time — first for myself, then for others walking the same path.

It's free and multilingual not as a growth hack, but because chronic disease already costs enough.

What I stand for

Evidence-based, never alarmist. Your data is yours — exportable, deletable. Gentle nudges that support your doctor's plan, not replace it.

I also want better clinic visits — arriving with trends and meal logs beats trying to remember what you ate three months ago.

Where it's going

Android is live; iOS is underway. I hope Purine0 can support more languages and more patients who no longer have to guess between blood tests.

If gout is part of your life, try it, leave feedback, tell me what's missing. It's a one-person project, but the intent is sincere — one fewer flare day, one more peaceful night.
