What Truth shows

One scan. The whole story.

A verdict you can read in a glance.

Nutri-Score, NOVA processing level and sugar become one plain answer: Better choice, Moderate or Enjoy occasionally. The reasons are always shown.

A B C D E

Medicines, down to the batch.

Reads the QR or Data Matrix for batch, manufacture and expiry, or point the camera at the printed dates. Expired packs turn red, and Truth can remind you a week before.

Private by design.

No account, no login. Your scan history lives only on your phone, and you can delete one scan or many at once. Barcodes go to Open Food Facts to look products up. Photos leave your phone only to read hard-to-read print, or when you choose to add a product.

Missing? Add it in a minute.

If a barcode isn't in the database yet, photograph the pack and publish it to Open Food Facts from inside Truth. You check every detail first, and the next person who scans it finds it.

Works on more than food.

Your scans stay yours.

Truth has no accounts and keeps no data about you. Barcodes go to Open Food Facts, a non-profit open database, to look products up. Hard-to-read photos pass briefly through our text-reading helper, which stores nothing. Ads come from Google AdMob, which collects your advertising ID and app usage, and where the law requires it you choose what it may use.
