📷

Instant barcode scanning

Point your camera at any grocery item and get a clean / warning verdict before you put it in the cart.

⚠️

Flagged ingredient alerts

Artificial dyes, seed oils, preservatives, HFCS, artificial sweeteners — each flagged with the actual health concern.

🧬

NOVA processing score

See whether a food is whole (NOVA 1) or ultra-processed (NOVA 4) — the single biggest predictor of diet quality.

🅰️

Nutri-Score at a glance

A to E grading combining sugars, salt, saturated fats, fiber and protein — no more squinting at the nutrition label.

🌱

Clean Swap suggestions

Get a real, cleaner alternative in the same category — same market, fewer additives, closer to the source.

🧾

Why it matters

Your grocery cart is the most important medicine cabinet you own.

Roughly 60% of the average American's calories now come from ultra-processed foods — a category linked in peer-reviewed research to higher risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and early mortality.

myha exists because reading every label in the aisle is impossible. We do that work, in real time, so you can make a better choice in the three seconds you actually have.

🧪

Peer-reviewed sources Ingredient assessments cite IARC, NIH, EFSA and the FDA's own records — not lifestyle blogs.

🔒

Private by default No account required. Scans stay on your device. We don't sell data — we don't collect it.

🧑‍🍳

Built for real shopping Works offline for saved items, gives market-matched swaps, and fits in the ten seconds you have in the aisle.

Common questions

Everything you want to know.

Is myha really free?

Yes. The core scanner, ingredient analysis, NOVA/Nutri-Score grading, pantry, and Clean Swap suggestions are all free. The app is supported by unobtrusive banner ads — no subscription, no paywall.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Open the app, point the camera, done. Your pantry and scan history live on-device — we don't have a login because we don't need your data.

Where does the ingredient data come from?

Barcode product data is sourced from Open Food Facts, the world's largest open nutrition database. Our ingredient flagging logic is maintained in-house and references research from the IARC, NIH, EFSA, and the FDA.

What if a product isn't in the database?

Use the built-in label OCR. Point your camera at the ingredients panel and myha will read and analyze the text directly — no barcode required.

Does myha work outside the US?

Yes — the barcode database is global. Clean Swap suggestions are filtered to the country you scan in so we don't recommend a product you can't actually buy.
