Frequently asked
Is barcode scanning really free?
Yes — free forever, on every tier. It's the feature the big apps put behind their paywall, and we won't.
Do I need an account?
No. The whole app works device-local with no sign-in. Email sign-in is only for premium licensing and (soon) encrypted sync.
Where do the numbers come from?
A verified database built on USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts. Every food shows a badge for its source. See "Where our numbers come from" in the app.
Does it work offline?
Yes — logging, search over common foods, budgets, and history all work in airplane mode.
