About BetterCart
Most food looks healthy on the outside. BetterCart shows you what's actually inside. Point your camera at any barcode and BetterCart instantly analyses the ingredients using the NOVA classification system — the gold standard used by nutrition researchers worldwide to measure how ultra-processed a food really is. SCAN ANY PRODUCT Scan the barcode of any packaged food and get an instant verdict: whole food, processed, or ultra-processed. BetterCart flags industrial additives, emulsifiers, and hidden UPF ingredients that don't belong in real food. AI FOOD IDENTIFY No barcode? No problem. Photograph any food — a meal, a plate of fruit, a restaurant dish — and Claude AI identifies it, estimates calories and macros, and classifies its processing level. VOICE LOGGING Just say what you ate. BetterCart listens, identifies the food, and logs it to your diary automatically. FIND BETTER ALTERNATIVES When a product scores NOVA 4, BetterCart suggests cleaner swaps available at your local store — often at a lower price. Better ingredients don't have to cost more. TRACK YOUR FOOD DIARY Log every meal and watch your daily UPF score improve over time. See calories, protein, carbs, and fat at a glance. Build streaks. Stay consistent. UNDERSTAND YOUR FOOD Ultra-processed foods make up over 50% of calories in the average Western diet and are linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and poor gut health. BetterCart gives you the information to make better choices — without counting every calorie. PREMIUM FEATURES Unlock smarter swaps, AI food identification, voice logging, and unlimited scanning with BetterCart Premium. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated May 11, 2026
Bug fixes & improvements - Fixed an issue where the numbers on the age, height, and weight pickers were invisible in dark mode - The barcode scanner now uses Apple's native detection engine — more reliable and faster to lock on - You can now enter ingredients manually directly from the barcode scanner, available from both the Home and Profile tabs - Security improvements: all AI requests are now processed through a secure server — your data never touches third-party APIs directly from your device
