Understand more. Feel good about every Chuw. Point your camera at a label, a piece of fruit, a meal you’ve cooked, or a recipe. Chuw scores it from 0 to 100 and explains exactly how it got there. Try your first scan without creating an account. Most food apps reduce food to a letter or colour based mainly on nutrients. That does not tell you how processed something is, what has been added, or whether it suits your priorities. Chuw looks at the full picture and shows its working, backed by science. A SCORE THAT ACTUAL HELPS See one clear score from 0 to 100, broken down line by line. Find out which ingredients helped and which brought the score down. Front-of-pack claims are checked against what is actually in the product. MADE FOR YOUR PRIORITIES Choose from six focus areas: gut, energy, heart, brain, hormones, and muscle. Chuw evaluates food against the priorities you choose, rather than a generic average. MORE THAN BARCODES Scan packaged food, loose produce, a plated meal, or a recipe you found online. If it’s food, Chuw can help you understand it. WHAT’S IN THE APP β€’ A food diary that updates from your scans β€’ Side-by-side product comparisons β€’ Recipes based on what you already have at home β€’ A shopping list that scores items as you add them β€’ Receipt scanning that scores your entire shop β€’ Insights and weekly reflections on your eating habits FREE AND PREMIUM Free includes three scans per day. Premium includes up to 30 scans per day, plus recipes, a scored shopping list, receipt scanning, product comparisons, claim checking, and your weekly reflection. Chuw is a wellness app, not medical advice. It uses AI to read labels and may misread or miss information, including allergens. Always check the physical label, especially if you have an allergy.
