Label Snob
Five apps to eat clean.Or just this one.
A calorie & macro tracker, a 0–100 clean-score on any label or menu, an allergen guard, and a map of the restaurants that actually cook clean — each done better than the app built for just one.

How it reads
Three labels. Three verdicts.
Most apps hand you a number. Label Snob shows its work — the score, the call, and the receipts: the exact ingredients that made the decision, named out loud.

The score is built to resist marketing. Seed oils cap it at 79 — a product can't fake its way to clean. And before we call it, every read is cross-checked against Open Food Facts and the brand's own label, so the verdict is built on the real ingredients, not a guess at the photo.
We'll say what marketing won't.

Point at anything
One button. Zero pickers.
No mode menu, no category tabs. The app detects what it's looking at and routes the scan itself — food, body, supplement, menu, or the whole vibe.
Body
Skin, hair, every potion.
Moisturizers to shampoo. Parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde releasers, harsh sulfates, and the fragrance they won't break down — flagged across your whole shelf.
Supplements
What the bottle won't say.
The Supplement Facts panel and the Other Ingredients line, read together — the fillers, the sweeteners hiding behind “clean,” the actives that don't match the front.
Menus
Restaurant menus, ranked.
Point at the menu. It comes back in three tiers — Cleanest Picks, Also Great, Go Easy — each ranked around your allergens and goals, with why it works for you.
Vibe Check
The whole moment, read.
Not a label — a scene. Snap the spread for an editorial call — Immaculate, Good, Good-with-an-asterisk, or Proceed With Caution — then tap the asterisk for the catch.
Five categories. One scan button.
You never tell it which mode. You just show it the label.
Personalization
Strong opinions. Your rules.
Most scanners give everyone the same score. Label Snob keeps your allergies, sensitivities, dietary goals, and calorie target — then the same product earns a different verdict for you than it does for your kid.
- Thirteen allergens, each set to Allergy, Hard No, or just Flag It — a heads-up isn't treated like an emergency.
- Sensitivities and diets too: lactose, FODMAP, histamine, sulfites; keto, paleo, Whole30, vegan.
- Ranked by how processed and additive-heavy it is, not by a calorie count.

Food Journal + Athletic Mode
Eat to your numbers.
Every scan logs straight to your journal — calories, fat, protein, added sugar. Athletic Mode sets the targets from your own body with the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, then nudges you while there's still enough day left to hit them.
- Targets from your stats, not a generic chart — Mifflin-St Jeor BMR × your activity level.
- Athlete-grade: cut, maintain, recomp or bulk, your own macro split, a training-day calorie bump, a hydration baseline.
- Added sugar tracked as a ceiling, not a target — five color bands so you see it creeping before you blow it.
- A verdict history, not just a macro log — the pattern in what you're actually eating, not only how much.
One app, not five
No tracking tax. No ads. No upsells.
Scanner, nutrition journal, clean-eats map, recipes, and a shareable allergen profile — one app. The job that used to take an ingredient app, a calorie app, and a restaurant app, for the price of none of them.
Clean Eats Map
Restaurants that pass, mapped. Eighteen clean signals — seed-oil-free, grass-fed, organic — pulled in with Google Places and ranked by the community.
The TOP
The best-scoring products in every aisle, ranked. “Meria Certified” means a 90-plus score with zero red flags — built from verdicts, never sponsorships.
Recipes
Every food and body verdict comes with a clean DIY version you can actually make — saved to your own recipe shelf.
Shareable Profile
Your allergens and rules on a QR card you can text to a friend, a host, or a restaurant — the part no other scanner ships.
The Read
We read what marketing won't.
The editorial side of Label Snob — additives, gluten, seed oils, skincare, and the brands we'll actually name. The kind of read you forward to a friend.
Why people switch
One app does what fivecan't.
Barcode scanners read packaged food. Calorie apps count macros. Restaurant apps list places. Label Snob does all of it — and keys every call to you.

Questions
Things people ask.
- What can it actually scan?
- Packaged food, body and skincare products, supplements, and restaurant menus. One button — it detects which one it's looking at and routes the scan itself. No mode picker.
- How is this different from Yuka or Fooducate?
- Most scanners give everyone the same score, weighted heavily toward calories. Label Snob ranks by how processed and additive-heavy a product is, and keys the verdict to your allergies, sensitivities, and goals — so the same product can read differently for you than for someone else. It also goes past food: body products, supplements, restaurant menus, and a whole-scene Vibe Check.
- How does it know it's reading the label right?
- Before it calls a verdict, the app cross-checks what it sees against Open Food Facts and the brand's own listing — so the read is built on the real ingredient list, not a guess off a blurry photo. If the first pass isn't confident, it quietly re-runs on a deeper model and tells you it did.
- Can it track my macros?
- Yes — properly. The Food Journal logs calories, fat, protein, and added sugar with the verdict attached. Turn on Athletic Mode and it sets your targets from your own stats with the Mifflin-St Jeor formula — activity level, goal mode, macro split, training-day calories, hydration — then nudges you while there's still time in the day to hit them.
- Is this medical advice?
- No. Label Snob shares its opinion — a sharp, ingredient-led read. Not a doctor, not a dietitian, not an endorsement. For medical or dietary decisions, ask a qualified professional.
- Do you store my photos?
- No. Scan photos go to Anthropic's Claude — or Google Gemini for a Vibe Check — for the read, then they're dropped. We keep the verdict you choose to save, never the image and never your camera roll. Neither Anthropic nor Google trains on the submissions.
- Can I share my allergen profile?
- Yes — that's the point. Set your rules once, then share the card so a friend, a host, or a restaurant can just handle it. Every scan checks your profile automatically.
- Is it iOS-only?
- iPhone first, iOS 17+. Android is in the queue. The real product is the native app.
- What does it cost?
- Free gives you three scans to start, every category. Pro is $14.99/month or $89.99/year with a 7-day trial. The Founder Edition is a one-time $149 for lifetime Pro — capped at the first 1,000 buyers or August 31, 2026, whichever comes first.
