## What is Boycottr?

Boycottr reveals the true origin of any product.
Scan a barcode or snap a photo, and instantly trace ownership from the brand on the shelf to the parent company to the ultimate owner, and their country.

HOW IT WORKS

Scan. Point your camera at any barcode.
No barcode? Snap a photo. AI reads the label and identifies the brand.
Decide. A clear red or green result shows if it matches your rules.

SET YOUR OWN RULES

Boycott by country or by specific company, or both. Flag entire nations, or target individual corporations like Nestlé, Coca-Cola, or any company you choose. Your rules. Your principles. Your data stays on your device.

WHY IT MATTERS

That "local" brand? Might be owned by a foreign conglomerate, or a company you'd rather not support. Boycottr reveals these hidden connections so you can make informed choices.

FEATURES

▸ Instant barcode scanning
▸ AI-powered photo recognition
▸ Full ownership chain (brand → parent → ultimate owner)
▸ Country of origin for every level
▸ Custom company boycott lists
▸ Scan history to track your choices
▸ Works offline for common products

FREE TO TRY

Get your first 15 scans free, then 1 free scan per day. Upgrade for unlimited access.

Your purchases. Your principles.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-03-03

We fixed several backend issues that were slowing down search and lookup.

What this means for you:
- Faster search results when you look up items, names, or details
- Quicker loading when you switch between screens that use search

In short, lookups should now feel instant, so you spend less time waiting and more time getting what you came for.
