LB: Universal Scanner

LB: Universal Scanner is a free, privacy-respecting product scanner for human food, pet food, cosmetics, and cleaning products. Scan a barcode or take a photo of an ingredient label, then get useful product details, ingredient insights, warnings, allergens, translations, notes, and optional voice readouts. Built by one person, Bálint, LB was made for real people and real families who want to understand products without needing an account, subscriptions, third-party ads, or creepy data collection. WHY CHOOSE LB? No Account Required: Just open the app and start scanning. No login, no email, no phone number. Privacy-Focused: Your scan history, product notes, allergen settings, digestive profiles, selected scan mode, and most preferences stay on your device. No Third-Party Ads: LB is designed to stay free, account-free, and ad-free. One App, Four Scanners: Use one app for human food, pet food, cosmetics, and cleaning products instead of needing separate apps. CORE FEATURES: Barcode Scanning: Scan products using free public databases such as Open Food Facts, Pro Open Food Facts, Open Pet Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, and Open Products Facts. Ingredient Photo Scan: No barcode or missing database info? Take a photo of the ingredient list or label and let the app analyze the text. Food Checks: Review ingredients, allergens, nutrition, Nutri-Score, Eco-Score, and warning alerts where available. Pet Food Checks: Scan cat and dog food products and review ingredient information and caution notes where available. Cosmetic INCI Checks: Scan cosmetics or photograph INCI lists to review sensitive ingredients and ingredient insights. Cleaning Product Checks: Scan cleaning products or labels to help identify caution notes and ingredient information where available. Allergen Alerts: Set personal allergens and let the app highlight matching ingredients more clearly. Digestive Profiles: Enable practical screening profiles for IBS / SIBO, fructose sensitivity, polyol sensitivity, onion / garlic sensitivity, inulin / FOS sensitivity, and custom digestive triggers. Clean Eating Profile: Flag common ultra-processed food markers such as artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, preservatives, flavour enhancers, refined syrups, processed fats, palm oil, and soy. Smart Translation: Translate product information and ingredient text. LB remembers your selected target language for the next scanned product until you switch back to Original. Voice Assistant Mode: Have scan results, warnings, and section summaries read aloud. Useful for accessibility and hands-free checking. Private Product Notes: Add your own notes to products. Notes are stored locally on your device only. Scan History: Revisit recent scans, disable history saving, or clear history anytime. Free Research Sources: For cosmetic ingredients, LB can help open free references such as PubChem, CosIng, ECHA, and EWG Skin Deep. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Choose a scanner mode: Human Food, Pet Food, Cosmetics, or Cleaning Products. 2. Scan a barcode: The app checks supported public sources for product data. 3. Take a photo if needed: If the barcode is missing, damaged, or not found, scan the ingredient label directly. 4. Review the results: Check warnings, allergens, ingredients, translations, notes, and available product details. 5. Save or revisit: Use local history and private notes to remember products later.
