About

Ingredient Scanner

Features
Read full description

Aindly is a personalised food and ingredient scanner that helps you understand whether a product fits your preferences. Scan a barcode or photograph an ingredient label to receive clear feedback based on the ingredients that matter to you. Aindly highlights possible watch-outs, positive signals, ingredients you are tracking, and information that could not be confirmed. There is no one-size-fits-all product score. Your results are based on your own preferences and watchlists. FOOD & DRINK SCANNER Scan packaged food and drink products while shopping or at home. Aindly can help you identify and track ingredients such as added sugars, dairy, caffeine, alcohol-related ingredients, seed oils, additives, and other ingredients you choose to monitor. Instead of simply labelling a product as good or bad, Aindly explains why particular ingredients may or may not fit your preferences. PERSONALISED INGREDIENT PREFERENCES Choose what matters to you and create your own ingredient watchlists. Your preferences can include: Ingredients you want to avoid Ingredients you want to monitor Ingredients you are actively looking for Food and drink concerns Custom ingredients Food preferences are separate from optional personal-care and skin preferences, so you can use Aindly purely as a food scanner. CLEAR PRODUCT FEEDBACK Each scan provides a plain-language result organised into clear sections: Possible watch-outs for you Positive signals based on your preferences Ingredients on your personal watchlists Missing or uncertain product information Open an ingredient card to understand why an ingredient was highlighted and what it may mean for your preferences. BARCODE & INGREDIENT-LABEL SCANNING Scan a product barcode when information is available. When barcode information is missing or incomplete, photograph the printed ingredient list instead. Aindly can read the label and analyse the available ingredient information directly. PRODUCT HISTORY Review products you have previously scanned and return to their personalised feedback at any time. Browse your activity as a recent list or use the calendar view to see what you scanned on a particular day. Your history can include food, drinks, skincare, cosmetics, and other personal-care products. SKINCARE & COSMETIC SCANNER Aindly also supports skincare, makeup, haircare, and cosmetic products. Check personal-care ingredient lists against optional preferences such as sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, dryness, oiliness, redness, fragrance preferences, and custom cosmetic ingredient watchlists. Personal-care scanning is an additional feature and does not need to be enabled to use Aindly for food and drinks. OPTIONAL SKIN NOTES Users who want to track personal-care products can record quick skin notes alongside their product history. Review notes such as breakout, redness, dryness, irritation, oiliness, or clear skin within the calendar. These notes are designed to help you notice possible patterns and do not establish that a particular product or ingredient caused a change. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your preferences, watchlists, product history, and optional skin notes are stored on your phone. Aindly is designed to keep your personal product activity under your control. Product information may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. Always check the physical packaging, particularly when managing allergies, intolerances, or medical conditions. Aindly does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, allergy-safety certification, or treatment guidance. Ingredient feedback is provided for general wellness and personal product awareness only.
