A calmer way to help your child try new foods.

Why I made it

I'm a dad. For a long stretch my kid ate about five things, and every new food turned dinner into a standoff that left us both upset. The advice out there was either a clipboard full of rules or a bribe, and neither one felt right for my family.

So I built the thing I wished I'd had. Korbs isn't a tracker and it won't lecture you. It's a quiet, hopeful little app that helps your child get curious about food again, at a pace that actually works for them.

How it works

Start with the foods that already work

Add a handful of foods your child happily eats. Those become your stations, the solid ground you build from. None of this is about the foods they say no to.

Pick something they'd love to reach (if you want)

You can choose a food your child would be thrilled to eat one day, and that becomes the destination. It's a wish, not a deadline, so there's no clock ticking on it. But you don't need one at all. Plenty of families just log meals and wander the map, and Korbin still nudges out gentle next stops along the way.

Let Korbin map the gentle route

Korbin lays out small, sensible steps from a food they know toward the one they're wishing for. Each stop is only a little different from the last, like a cracker that's a touch crunchier, or an orange that's a little less familiar. Nothing ever feels like a big leap.

Log a meal in a few seconds

Tap or just say what your child had. A sniff counts. A lick counts. One brave bite really counts. Korbin notices the wins and quietly moves the map along.

What it does for you

It takes the pressure off. There's no urging and no bribing, and a "no thanks" today isn't a failure. Your child just didn't stop at that station this time, and that's completely okay.

It shows you how far you've come. On the hard weeks it's easy to feel stuck, so Korbs keeps a quiet record of the foods your child has tried, measured against where they started and no one else.

And when you have no idea what to try next, Korbin always has a small, low-stakes suggestion ready. There are no streaks to break and nothing buzzing at you. You open it when you want to, and it waits patiently when you don't.

A note about the beta

This is an early version, made by one dad in the evenings, so you'll probably hit a rough edge or two. The most helpful thing you can do is just use it at real meals and tell me honestly what's working and what's driving you nuts.

And because you're here early and putting up with those rough edges, Korbs is yours free for good. If I ever add a paid plan down the road, beta testers keep everything free, forever. It's the least I can do for the families helping me get this right.

You can email me any time at dad@korbs.app, or shake your phone inside TestFlight to send a screenshot. I read every single message.

Your family's privacy

There's no account and no login to set up. Your family's information stays on your device, and in your own private iCloud if you turn on backup. If your child uses the voice feature, their words become text right on the phone and the audio is thrown away. If you want the full detail, it's in the Privacy & Terms.
