This is brilliant. I don't like nutrition trackers because they focus on numbers. Those numbers themselves (like calories, FDA percentages, etc.) aren't very helpful but requires the kind of thinking and energy that just doesn't belong in habit-forming. Simply saying whether a not the ingredients fit a chosen diet is a very smart idea. It's quick, it's clear, and it's easy to stick to. Also, mailing list for android release? :)

Thanks @eglove, that is exactly the intention --> a simple YES (safe) or NO (avoid) based on the chosen diet to simplify people's lives when they shop for groceries or when offered a new food product by a colleague or a friend. Android launching in about a month, I will make sure to ping you here as soon as ready.

I have Gluten / Cow Dairy intolerances and always found it hard to decipher ingredients on food labels. Tried most barcode scan apps but they all have limited product databases (limited by geography) and most do not cover more than a few diets. So I set out to solve this problem by building an app with a friend that reads and analyses ingredients off of food labels in real-time (kind of how Google Lens works). A few things to note: 1) Peel is not limited by a product database or barcodes. Practically works anywhere on the planet since it directly analyzes the ingredients list (works on food labels, restaurant menus, practically anything). 2) It provides real-time advice: "Safe" or "Avoid" based on your intolerance or diet (can handle multiple diets at once e.g. you can be Gluten-Free and Vegan). 3) Expert nutritionists support us and we've included more diets driven by customer asks: Dairy Free, Yeast Free, Fructose Free, Vegan, Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian, Palm Oil Free, No Added Sugars, No Artificial Sweeteners, to name a few... 4) It's free to use Peel has helped me a lot and I hope it helps others too :)
