One calm place for everything a metabolic family carries.

Managing a metabolic disorder is a lot — every meal is math, every fever is a plan. GeneNest carries the mental load so you can carry your child.

Our story

Built by a family, for every family.

GeneNest was born from long nights, small victories and the wish that no metabolic family ever feels alone again. We build slowly, softly, and with love — with families guiding every step.

We're a nonprofit. The app is free for families, forever. Donations keep the lights on and the nest growing.

Loved by families & clinicians

Real words from real nests.

"Before GeneNest, protein math ran my life. Now I log a meal and just… breathe. It's like a hand on my shoulder at 2am."

Maya

Mom to Eli, 3 · PKU

"Seeing feeds and labs between visits changes everything. I catch drift days earlier and families feel heard."

Dr. Ahmed

Metabolic pediatrician

"The emergency plan alone is worth it. Grandma had it on her phone in one tap. We finally slept a whole weekend away."
