Answer

If you’re willing to shell out $70/year, Macrofactor is a fantastic app. They have very detailed vitamin/mineral tracking, as well as the standard calorie/macro capabilities. Plus an adaptive algorithm to estimate your energy expenditure changes based on your calorie intake and weight.

I’ve also heard good things about Cronometer. MyFitnessPal and LoseIt are iffy because a lot of their database entries are user-submitted, and users aren’t typically the most accurate with adding micros.

Answer

I’ve yet to see any app actually track micronutrients properly. Ones I’ve seen before count D2 as a valid form of vitamin D, when it’s D3 you want. They lump K1 in the K2, etc. Usually make vitamin A from plants equal to animal vitamin A which it isn’t even remotely as strong as.

Not a productive comment per say, just pointing out a potential thing you’ll run into. I just keep my diet balanced I have 0 concern if I’m low in K2 as I consume fat full dairy 3/4 times per week, mainly from organic yogurt. My D is up (ha ha very funny) for sure. Selenium from Brazil nuts 2-3 times per week.
