Miriel AI is an iOS app that gives parents personalized nutritional intelligence for their children. It scans food labels, generates AI meal plans tailored to each child's age and allergies, and answers questions through an AI nutrition coach. The app is free to download and built specifically for families with children aged 1–12.
Yes. Children do not have accounts and do not log in. Parents enter all child information on their child's behalf, and Miriel’s data handling is aligned with COPPA controls. Miriel uses zero third-party tracking on children’s data, and parents can delete a child profile at any time.
Point your phone’s camera at any packaged food label. Miriel reads the ingredients and nutrition panel, then returns a child-specific safety score, allergen alerts, and an age-appropriate analysis. The scoring takes into account each child’s allergies, sensitivities, and growth-stage needs that the parent has set up.
Miriel is built for children aged 1 to 12. Younger ages (1–3) get extra weight on choking-hazard and texture-appropriate guidance, and older ages get age-tuned portion sizes and macronutrient targets. Parents can add multiple children to a single account.
Yes — allergies and intolerances are first-class data in Miriel. When a parent adds an allergy to a child’s profile, every food scan, meal plan, and AI coach response respects it. Miriel surfaces clear allergen warnings rather than burying them in fine print.
Tell Miriel what’s in your kitchen and which child you’re cooking for. Miriel generates a weekly meal plan that respects the child’s age, allergies, dietary preferences, and what they’ll actually eat. Eighteen AI nutrition engines work together to balance macronutrients, micronutrients, and dietary diversity across the week.
Miriel learns over time. Mark which meals worked and which didn’t, and the AI gradually shifts recommendations toward foods your child accepts while still meeting nutrition goals. Picky-eater profiles are explicitly supported — Miriel doesn’t treat them as edge cases.
Most nutrition apps are adult diet trackers scaled down for kids — calorie counters with a smaller portion size. Miriel is built from the ground up for children: age-appropriate portions, allergy-safe recommendations, growth-stage nutrition rather than weight loss, and parent-managed child profiles. It’s designed for the parent making decisions, not the child counting calories.
Yes, Miriel is free to download with a free tier of features. Optional Standard and Advanced subscription tiers unlock additional capabilities like deeper meal-planning automation and advanced nutrition reports. Parents can use the free tier indefinitely.
Family sharing is on the near-term roadmap. Today, a single parent account can manage multiple children. If you and a co-parent both want to use Miriel, the cleanest setup is to share one account or to create your own and add the same children to each profile.
Miriel is available worldwide on the iOS App Store. The app supports English and Korean today, and respects regional dietary guidelines where relevant. Some advanced features may roll out region-by-region.
Miriel is iOS-only today. Android is on the roadmap but not yet scheduled. Sign up for the waitlist or follow Miriel on social media to be notified when an Android version is announced.
