How it works

1

Set up your card

Add your allergies and diet, with severity, hidden ingredients, and the foods you safely can eat.

2

Translations are verified

Translated into 60+ languages, then in reverse to check the meaning held up. Saved on your phone.

3

Show it anywhere

It detects where you are and shows your card in the local language. Pick another anytime. No signal needed.

Real diets are messier than a checklist

SafePlate handles the parts other tools skip: severity levels, cross-contamination, allergens that are not on any standard list, “I can eat it prepared this way but not that way” notes, and the foods you safely can eat. As specific as your situation actually is.

Built for safety, not just translation

✓

Severity and cross-contamination

Mark how serious each one is, and flag where even a trace matters.

✓

Translations to double-check

Phrases that don't pass the reverse check are flagged for you to review.

✓

Personal emergency card

Your medical info and the ambulance number, in the local language.

✓

Works offline

A dead zone in a tiny restaurant is never the problem.

Common questions

How does SafePlate Travel work offline?
Your card and its translations are saved to your phone the moment you create them. We pre-translate into every language we support, so the card you show a server in Tokyo or São Paulo loads instantly, even with no signal at all. The emergency card carries the local ambulance number for wherever you are, ready when you need it.
What dietary restrictions do you support?
Common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, gluten, sesame, soy, and more), dietary identities (vegan, vegetarian, kosher, halal, Hindu vegetarian, and others), and medical conditions (celiac, lactose intolerance, and others). You can also add your own custom allergens outside of the standards. Each one carries a severity level, hidden ingredients to watch for, and the foods you can safely eat in ways people don't expect.
Can I make a card for my kid or partner?
Yes. One account holds as many cards as your household needs. You can create a card for your kid, your partner, a parent you travel with, or anyone else who shares a meal with a server who doesn't speak their language. Each card can also be authored in a different mother tongue than yours if needed. You can share any card via a private link, so a babysitter, grandparent, or partner can show it on their own phone.
How are translations validated?
Translations are done by Google Gemini, currently one of the most accurate translation models available. Every phrase is translated into the destination language, then translated back to the original. If the meaning shifts in the round trip, we flag it on your card so you can review it before showing it to a server. The review shows both your original wording and what we translated it back to, so you can decide for yourself.
What languages does SafePlate Travel support?
We support 60 languages today, and they're all automatically saved to your phone when you create or edit a card. That means your card works in any of them, anywhere, with no signal. If you're heading somewhere with a more rare language and want to be sure your card is fully ready, the “Prepare for travel” flow lets you mark specific languages ahead of time.
How does the emergency card work?
You create the emergency card with the info you want included: known reactions, medications you carry, a doctor or family contact. Each field is optional. It renders in the local language of wherever you are, alongside the local ambulance number which the app picks up automatically. You can hand the phone to a server, a stranger, or a first responder and they have exactly what you've chosen to share.
Does it require location access?
Not required. The country you're in is detected automatically from your internet connection. There's an optional “Use my location” button for more precision near borders or in countries with multiple official languages, but the app never asks for location unless you tap it.
What data do you use, and what do you do with it?
We store your name, email, and the cards you create. The translated versions of your custom notes go into our shared translation cache so we don’t have to re-translate common phrases for every user. Those translation entries aren’t linked to your identity. We never sell or share your personal data outside our service. Full privacy policy.
Do I need to install an app?
Technically no, SafePlate Travel runs in your phone's browser. But for the best experience and easy access, save it to your home screen with one tap. The app shows you how after you sign up, and from then on it opens like any other app. Updates happen automatically.
What does it cost?
While we're in our founding period, the first 200 members get SafePlate Travel free for life. After that, we'll switch to a paid subscription, with one price covering every card in your household.

Why I built this

I travel a lot with my partner. Her allergies aren’t on any standard list and some are more serious than others. The proteins that trigger them change depending on how a dish is cooked, so there are even foods she can eat surprisingly safely that we have to explain to the server. Every meal in a different country always starts the same way, “OK, is there something here we’re pretty sure you can eat?” One night in Portugal during a tricky meal, we joked about how nice it would be to have a magic card that showed everything she could and couldn’t eat in the right language. And me being me, I figured I could build it for her. So I did.
