About

Forkr

Features
Read full description

Forkr reads the nutrition labels at your grocery store before you walk in, so you can shop for your goals without reading fine print in the aisle. PICK YOUR STORE Choose your local market and Forkr matches its shelves to your dietary needs. Now at Gus's Community Market (Mission, Mission Bay, Haight, Noriega) and Draeger's Market in Menlo Park, with more Bay Area stores on the way. EVERY ITEM, ALREADY READ FOR YOU Tell Forkr what matters to you: high protein, more fiber, lower sugar, lower sodium, plant-focused, simple ingredients, or a dietary restriction like gluten-free or dairy-free. Every product then carries a simple green, yellow or red dot, and the same verdict follows it from the shelf to the product page. AI NUTRITION INSIGHT Open any product for a plain-English read of its label: why it's green for you, where the trade-off is, and how it compares to the rest of its aisle at your store. Ask a follow-up question about any item. Nutrition information is informational, not medical advice. RECIPES BUILT AROUND YOUR GOALS Ask for a quick dinner, a high-protein breakfast, or whatever is in season. Forkr suggests meals that fit your preferences, explains why they fit, and adds the ingredients to your list in one tap. COUPONS AND WEEKLY DEALS See this week's deals at your store, matched to your goals. YOUR GROCERY LIST Keep a separate list for each store, add items straight from the shelf or a recipe, and check them off as you shop. SCAN IN THE AISLE Point your camera at a barcode to pull up an item's label and verdict on the spot. HONEST BY DESIGN Forkr shows where its facts come from and when they were observed. Product photos and label data come from licensed, attributed sources. A catalog listing does not guarantee an item is in stock today. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sign in with Apple. No ads, no tracking. Export or delete your account any time from Settings. Forkr is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Gus's Community Market or Draeger's Market.
