## What is Barecode?

Ever flipped a packet over and understood nothing? Barecode fixes that.

Point your camera at any product barcode — food, drinks, beauty, or household — and get an instant, honest answer: a simple 0–100 score showing how processed or concerning that product really is. No jargon, no chemistry degree required.

HOW IT WORKS Scan a barcode (or search from your couch) and Barecode checks the ingredients, additives, and processing level, then explains it like a friend would: one clear score from 0 (ultra-processed) to 100 (great choice); "Worth knowing" — the concerns, worst first, in plain English; "The good news" — because most products have some; and reality checks like "this has 14 ingredients — a homemade version needs 4."

BUILT FOR EVERYONE Big, simple design anyone can use in the supermarket aisle. Continuous scan mode lets you sweep a whole trolley in seconds. Curious types can open the full breakdown: every additive explained, complete nutrition table, processing classification.

FREE VS PRO Free: scan, browse, and search with no daily caps, plus your last 10 scans in history, 3 favourites, 1 dietary filter, and the first 4 Learn articles, supported by ads. Barecode Pro (monthly or annual): multi-scan mode, Pantry, unlimited history and favourites, all dietary filters, every Learn article, CSV export, and zero ads.

HONEST BY DESIGN Barecode uses Open Food Facts and its sister databases — the world's largest open product databases, not data supplied by manufacturers. Millions of products from Australia, the US, and worldwide.

Download Barecode and never be fooled by "natural" packaging again.

— Barecode provides general information, not medical or dietary advice. Product data comes from community databases and may be incomplete — always check the label, especially for allergens.
