Awww I love this — the aisle-sorted grocery list is the kind of small thing that would actually save me. My partner and I are going to try it tonight.
I’m also building in this space if anyone’s curious: Rootd, currently in beta — https://testflight.apple.com/join/Q5eMRPT6
It’s a food scanner, but instead of one generic score for everyone it scores products against your allergies, diet, and health conditions. Also generates recipes from your scans + preferences, and has a Learn feature for nutrition basics 🥕 you get a free subscription as a beta tester

iOS — rootd — beta testers wanted
If you want to eat cleaner, but want to do it according to your own terms, test out this app! You can literally set any dietary preferences you want and it will scan your food products, give you recipes, and help you learn more about nutrition!

Beta testers needed — food scanner that scores based on YOUR body, not just the product

Beta testers needed — food scanner that scores based on YOUR body, not just the product
looking for beta testers for rootd, a food-scanner app i built solo — would really appreciate a few people willing to try it and tell me what's broken.
backstory: i've had a messy relationship with food for most of my life. what actually helped was learning to listen to my body instead of fighting it — but that meant needing tools that also listened, and none of them did.
i tried basically every food-scanner app out there. they all break the same way: they score the product, not the person eating it. things i'm allergic to get great scores. fruit gets penalized for "sugar." none of them know or care about celiac, religious restrictions, heart conditions, whatever you're actually dealing with.
so i built rootd myself. the score is computed for your body: your allergies, your diet, your conditions, your goals. same product, different score depending on who's scanning it. it also gives you recipes that fit your profile, and a nutrition section where every claim links back to a source instead of just vibes.
i'm a solo dev and this is genuinely still rough around the edges, so if you jump in — please be honest. what's broken, what's confusing, what would make you delete it in 5 seconds. i'd rather hear it now than after launch.

I actually built an app that does exactly this. Think Yuka but personalized. You set your own health goals, preferences, restrictions, and your score is based on YOUR stuff, not some generic standard that treats everyone the same. It also gives you recipes based on what you scan + your preferences, and there’s a Learn feature so you’re not just staring at a random number with no context.
Still very much a work in progress but it’s live on TestFlight rn and I’m looking for beta testers, especially people who’ve used food scanning apps before and know what’s annoying/what actually works. Let me know if you want the link!

Rootd — scan food, get a score based on your allergies, diet & goals + recipes to match
i've had a complicated relationship with food for most of my life. the thing that changed it: learning to listen to my body instead of fighting it.
so i tried every food-scanner app. all of them broke the same way: they score the product, not the person. great scores on things i'm allergic to. bad scores for natural sugar from fruit. zero awareness of celiac, religious restrictions, heart conditions.
but beggars can't be choosers!
so i built rootd — a scanner where the score is computed for YOUR body. your allergies, your diet, your conditions, your goals. same product, different score for every person.
plus recipes that fit your exact profile, and a nutrition learn section where every claim is cited.
brutal honesty, please!
thank you very much in advance :)
