Introducing Spotted

a new food tracking app

๐Ÿง  Food Is More Complex Than a Score

A single number can't capture whether something belongs in your diet โ€” or if your diet as a whole is balanced. Spotted helps shift the focus away from "good" vs "bad" products toward understanding your eating patterns over time.

๐Ÿงช Track the Ingredients, Not Just the Macros

Calories and sugar tell you something. But not everything. We believe food tracking should include what kind of ingredients you're eating โ€” emulsifiers, colours, sweeteners, gums โ€” and how much of your diet is ultra-processed overall.

๐ŸŒ€ Food Products Change โ€” You Deserve to Know

The same product can exist in multiple forms, with different ingredients or nutrition, even if the branding and barcode stay the same. Spotted keeps track of these product variants to give you more accurate, transparent information. More about product variants

๐ŸŒ Let's Talk About What's Actually Ultra-Processed

Deciding if a food is ultra-processed isn't always obvious โ€” even with ingredient lists. That's why we believe in discussion, not dogma. Spotted creates space to question, explore, and refine how we classify and understand food.

๐Ÿค Find and Share Better Choices Together

What do you eat instead? Where do you find it? Spotted makes food discovery a shared experience โ€” helping you and others spot alternatives that are less processed, more transparent, and available in the real world.

We aim to make the default better. Starting with food.

We think the current default for many things and for many of us is not aligned with what we actually need and want. We want to change that.
