A barcode scanner for food labels
Other scanners give everyone the same score. Skop checks each product against rules you choose — and tells you why.
Not in the stores yet — Skop is coming to iPhone and Android.
Free to scan, always. Your rules stay on your phone.
One scan, two answers
A 0–100 measure of how processed a product is, read from how it's classified and how many additives it declares. It never feeds into your verdict, and it doesn't rate the product.
Same for everyone — how processed this product is. Separate from your verdict.
Matches, doesn't match, or can't tell yet — measured only against the rules you chose. Skop shows the ingredient and the rule behind every answer, and never rates a product on its own.
Your rule · Plant-based
Three answers, and why
The judgment is yours; Skop does the reading. Here is the same kind of answer three people might get from one product.
All 6 of your criteria are met
2 of your 6 criteria aren't met
Because of
your rules, your call
Carmine (E120)
A colouring made from insects
Your rule · Plant-based
5 of 6 criteria are met — 1 needs a closer look
The open question
Mono- and diglycerides (E471)
Can come from plants or animals — the database doesn't say which. The label usually does.
Your rule · Plant-based — unconfirmed
Every answer carries a glyph and a label, not just a colour — the three read correctly in greyscale.
What matters to you?
Four ready-made criteria sets, each editable. Add ingredient rules of your own. You can change everything later.
No animal-derived ingredients
Halal, kosher & more — pick yours
Nuts, gluten, dairy, soy & more

A limit on added sugar you set

When the data can't say, Skop says so
Product data is written by volunteers, and it's sometimes incomplete. When an ingredient list is missing or an ingredient's origin isn't stated on the pack, Skop doesn't guess and never rounds up to "Matches". It tells you exactly which ingredient is the open question — and everything it does know still shows: the product, its photo, its score and its nutrition.
Private by construction
What you set and what you scanned never leave the device unless you choose, one day, to sync them. No account is needed.
Nothing is recorded, stored, or uploaded — the barcode number is all Skop uses. Photograph a label and the text is read, then the image is discarded.
If you allow it, Skop counts how the app is used so we can improve it. It never sends what your rules are — only how many you have.
Skop Plus
Plus is for people whose rules outgrow the presets.
Prices are shown in the App Store and Google Play for your country. Cancel any time there — Plus keeps working until the period ends.
Where the facts come from
Product data comes from Open Food Facts, a public database maintained by volunteers worldwide, under the Open Database License (ODbL). It's the same data for every app that uses it — and because people write it, it is sometimes incomplete or out of date. When you photograph a label, you're improving it for everyone.
Get Skop, pick what matters to you, and scan the next thing you pick up.
