## Description

Blue Buddy is a doctor-designed app for people affected by eating disorders, offering mood-aware journaling, educational resources, and practical tools to support recovery.

All data stays confidential on-device with an option to share with a clinician. Developed by clinicians, psychologists and patients at Sainte-Anne Hospital, Paris; it earned the New Health prize for Therapeutic Education in 2016.

## Review summary

Reviews show a split: the app is praised for a comforting, supportive vibe and macro-focused nutrition guidance, with some users feeling it aids ED recovery. However, multiple reviewers report triggering BMI numbers and weight metrics, and an inability to edit or hide weight data, which can reinforce weight fixation and ED thoughts. Overall, Blue Buddy may be helpful for some users seeking balance, but harmful for others due to numeric emphasis and ED-related triggers.

### Pros

- Comforting, supportive vibe and feeling that the app is there for users.
- Macro-focused nutrition guidance (protein, carbs, fats) instead of calorie counting.
- Some users feel it helps with ED recovery by providing balance and accountability.

### Cons

- BMI input and BMI numbers can be triggering and potentially harmful for people with eating disorders.
- Reliance on weight/number metrics can reinforce fixation on weight rather than recovery.
- Inability to edit or hide weight/height data (settings limitation) can be problematic for users who find numbers triggering.
- BMI/chart features and numeric displays can contribute to ED-related triggers for some users.
