Alkaline Diet App: Dr. Sebi Food List, Herbs & Recipes

Ackaline is a free app for eating the Dr. Sebi way without having to memorise a list. Point your camera at a food and it tells you whether it’s approved. Look up any herb and see what it’s traditionally used for. Cook from over a hundred recipes that are already within the rules.

Available on iPhone and iPad and on Android. Free to download, with an optional paid upgrade.

What’s in it

A food scanner. Point the camera at a vegetable, a piece of fruit or a packet and get an answer. If the camera can’t place it, type the name instead. More on how the scanner works.

The full approved food list. Every category from the nutritional guide, searchable, with what’s excluded and the reasoning where it exists. You can read the whole list on this site too.

A medicinal herb library. The herbs associated with this way of eating, what each has traditionally been used for, and how it’s prepared.

Natural remedies. Traditional preparations, described as what they are — traditional practice, not medicine.

Over 100 recipes, plus smoothies and juices. Everything plant-based and inside the approved list, so you’re not cross-checking ingredients while you cook.

Who it’s for

If you’re starting out, the hardest part is not the cooking — it’s standing in a shop unsure whether the thing in your hand is allowed. That’s the problem the scanner solves.

If you’ve been eating this way a while, it’s mostly the herb library and the recipes, and a quick check on the foods that sit in the grey area between reproductions of the list.

If you’re reading around the subject rather than following it strictly, it still works as a reference — it tells you what the guide says, and we’re straightforward on this site about where that and the measurements disagree.

What it doesn’t do

It isn’t a medical app. It doesn’t diagnose anything, treat anything, or tell you that eating from a list will cure a condition — and it won’t tell you that alkaline food changes your blood pH, because it doesn’t. Your lungs and kidneys hold blood between 7.35 and 7.45 regardless of diet.

What this way of eating actually is: mostly plants, very little processed food, no added sugar. That’s worth doing on its own terms.

Common questions

Is the app free?

Yes, free to download and use, with an optional paid upgrade for the full library.

Does it work offline?

The food list, herb library and recipes are designed to be usable on your phone wherever you are, including in a shop with poor signal.

Do I need the books as well?

No. The app answers “can I eat this?” in the moment. The Alkaline Healing Blueprint answers “how do I actually run my week?” — the first seven days, what to do when you’re eating out, and why each exclusion exists. Different jobs.
