This is exactly what a scan looks like.
No edits, no demo screen. A real iced-drink scan from open camera to a saved safer swap in forty seconds.
- Point at any cup, can, or packageNo barcode required. The AI reads the item end to end.
- Exposure score and main driver lock inIt pinpoints the cup and lid as the plastic contact, with the research behind it.
- Safer swap, saved to your routineA stainless or glass swap worth 22 points, one tap to save and track.
Inside the app
Six screens, one habit
Straight from the current iOS build. Tap any screen to get the app.
Your exposure at a glance
The exposure gauge, your rooms, and today’s quest. One screen that tells you where you stand and what to do next.
After your first scan
An exposure profile that gets sharper every week.
One scan answers one question. The value compounds when the scans add up: every product you check feeds a personal exposure index, and the app learns which rooms, routines, and categories drive yours.
Scan
Point your camera at any everyday product, from bottled water to baby bottles. The AI identifies packaging type, brand, and category instantly.
Analyze
Advanced algorithms cross-reference scientific data to estimate microplastic exposure and assign a 0–100 risk score.
Track
Build a picture of your exposure over time. See which days, products, and categories contribute most.
Act
Get personalized, evidence-based recommendations to reduce your microplastic intake starting today.
See whether your changes are working.
Every saved scan updates your exposure index, and lower is safer. When you swap a product or change a routine, the line shows whether it mattered.
Along the way, each real discovery earns a stamp in your Plastic Passport, guided MicroQuests walk you through the kitchen and bathroom shelf, and a fresh weekly challenge lands every Monday. They exist for one reason: the second scan is when the app starts working for you.
What you can scan
Anything with a barcode or a packaging photo
Six product categories. One scan each. Get a 0–100 microplastic risk score with the cited research behind it.
Bottled water
Aquafina, Dasani, Smartwater, ranked by particle count
Packaged food
Cans, pouches, frozen meals, takeout containers
Cosmetics & skincare
Flag polyethylene, PEG, acrylates, dimethicone
Baby products
Bottles, formula, pouches, wipes, lotions
Food containers
Plastic tubs, lids, wrap, microwave-safe claims
Household items

Why it matters
Microplastics are not one single problem.
Different products, materials, temperatures, and usage patterns create different exposure conditions. The research is real but scattered across hundreds of papers. The app organizes that fragmented evidence into something you can read at the point of decision, one product at a time.
