TRUSTED BY THOUSANDS OF INGREDIENT-CONSCIOUS SHOPPERS Is your "clean" beauty actually clean? "Clean" and "nontoxic" are often just marketing. Switch Natural puts the power back in your hands by decoding what's inside. WHY SWITCH NATURAL IS DIFFERENT: • No Barcodes: Most apps fail if a product is new or if you're shopping online. Switch Natural reads the ingredients on the bottle or on your screen. • Always Up-to-Date: Brands reformulate constantly. We scan what's on the label right now, not what was in a database six months ago. • Research-Backed: We don't use arbitrary "safety scores" or confusing color codes. We identify potentially harmful ingredients and link you directly to peer-reviewed research so you can decide for yourself. • 100% Independent: We have zero brand partnerships and no investor influence. Our only loyalty is to you. • Human-Curated, Never AI: No AI-generated ratings and no paid verifications. Every ingredient is researched and written by a real person, not an algorithm. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Snap: Take a photo of the ingredient list (in-store, at home, or a screenshot online). 2. Scan: Our proprietary tech (Patent Pending) instantly identifies flagged ingredients. 3. Learn: Tap any flagged ingredient to see the "why" and access the scientific research. 4. Switch: Find a safer alternative in our shop of over 4,000 vetted products. Filter by retailer, brand, price, or popularity. PERFECT FOR: • Navigating the world of non-toxic living. • Checking products for your kids and family. • Deciphering long, unpronounceable chemical names in seconds. • Shopping with total confidence at Sephora, Target, or your local boutique. Join a growing community of informed shoppers who've stopped trusting marketing and started reading labels. Please note: Switch Natural is designed for personal care items like cosmetics, cleaning products, and kids' products; it is not intended for food or supplements.

Read full description

Fitlio is a workout tracker for people who follow a program. Build it, log every set in a tap or two, rest with a timer you can read from across the gym, and watch the numbers go up. No account, no feed, nothing to sign up for. Everything stays on your iPhone. YOUR PROGRAM, YOUR WAY • Choose how many weeks and days it has, then fill each day from the library or with your own exercises. • Set the reps, the rests and planned drop sets for every set. • Edit one week or all weeks, move days, insert rest days, or restart on a new date. • Copy a workout that went well straight back into the program. LOG SETS IN A TAP OR TWO • Every set comes prefilled with last time's reps and weight. • Tick a set, type a new number, or add a drop set that lands on plates you already used. • Timed sets for planks and cardio, each with its own countdown. • Swap or add an exercise mid-workout, just for today or for every week. A REST TIMER YOU CAN READ FROM THE BENCH • Full screen, big numbers, the set you just did and the one that comes next. • Keeps counting when the phone locks and tells you when the rest is over, chime included. • Add or take away time on the fly, or skip it. WATCH THE NUMBERS GO UP • Your best set per workout, charted for every exercise. • Every workout kept in History, set by set. • A calendar with your gym days, your planned days and your current streak. A LIBRARY WITH ILLUSTRATIONS • Over 220 exercises, filtered by equipment or found by name, many with hand-drawn illustrations. • Add your own exercises, with a photo. • Kilograms or pounds, your choice. ON YOUR WRIST, IN APPLE HEALTH • The Apple Watch app shows the exercise you are on, the next set and the rest countdown; tick sets, start timed sets and start the next day from the wrist. • With Apple Health on, finished workouts go to Health as strength training, and the watch records heart rate and calories. Fitlio reads nothing from Health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no analytics. Your programs and workouts live in the app on your iPhone and go wherever your device backup goes. FITLIO PRO Fitlio is free to try for 14 days. After that, Fitlio Pro unlocks training and program editing; your history and progress always stay readable. Fitlio Pro is available as a monthly subscription ($1.99/month) or a yearly subscription ($9.99/year).
