“I scan everything before it goes in the cart now. Found out my 'healthy' granola was basically dessert. Total game-changer.”
“The additive breakdown is incredible, it actually explains what each E-number does instead of just listing them.”
“Finally an app that isn't trying to sell me anything. The scores feel genuinely honest and the design is beautiful.”
“Cut out ultra-processed snacks in a month and my sleep tracking in the app shows it. Didn't expect that.”
Additives hide behind E-numbers and small print. Scanly names each one, rates its risk and flags added sugar, seed oils and palm oil, so the choice is yours again.
No ads, no brand deals, no affiliate links. Every score comes from the label: ingredients, nutrition and processing. No brand can pay to change it.

Scanly is a food-checker app that helps you quit ultra-processed food. Scan a product's barcode and Scanly instantly reveals how processed it is, showing a score out of 100 along with additives, seed oils, added sugars and its processing level, so you can make an informed choice in seconds.
Every product starts at 100. Six factors take points away: additives by risk level (one high-risk additive caps the score), sugar, seed oils, palm oil, processing (NOVA) and nutrition (saturated fat, salt, energy). The seventh adds points back: an EU organic or no-additives label earns a bonus. The result lands in one of five tiers: Excellent 85 to 100, Good 70 to 84, Fair 50 to 69, Poor 30 to 49, Bad 0 to 29.
Product data comes from our own database, local store sources and products people add from photos. Daily limits follow WHO for sugar and salt and EU reference intakes for saturated fat and energy. No brand pays us, so no brand can change a score.
Packaged food and drinks with a barcode (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF-14). Alcohol, supplements and non-food items aren't scored.
Add it yourself from photos: the front of the pack, the ingredient list and, if you have it, the nutrition panel. Scanly reads them in a minute or two and lets you know when the product is ready, so you, and everyone after you, can scan it next time.
Scanly is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Tap either store button on this page to get started for free.
One scan shows what's in a product, how processed it is and whether it fits your diet. 18,000+ scans so far, and counting.
