This Thanksgiving, make every grocery trip a healthy one.

They launched around Thanksgiving — smart move, because many people will be shopping for food and might appreciate an app that helps evaluate what they’re buying for the holiday feast.
Cool idea! I must try this...
This is such a cool idea. I actually built a barcode-scanning app years ago to score food for healthiness, so seeing something that works without barcodes is amazing. I'm definitely downloading it and trying it out on my next grocery run this! thanks for building
@Checkit I'm curious: How does the computer vision model handle loose produce or obscure local brands that might not be in major databases? Does it rely on reading the visible ingredient text via OCR, or is it purely image recognition of the packaging?

@diegodottac Thank you!! Will have to check you guys out, sounds fun haha
extremely tidy use case. An actual friction is resolved by real-time clarity at the shelf. Congratulations on your shipment!
“Since Checkit evaluates sustainability and ethics beyond basic nutrition, how do you verify and update those data points over time? Are they sourced automatically, or curated manually?”
congratsss!!!!

The timing of this launch is very suitable, would check it out in the nearby stores, i hope it works in all the local stores too.
Super impressive work — this feels like the future of grocery shopping. I love that Checkit goes beyond basic nutrition labels and actually surfaces health, sustainability, and ethics in a way that’s easy to understand, not overwhelming. The “no barcode needed” scanning plus the AR-style overlay is a huge UX win for real-world use, especially when you’re comparing multiple products on a shelf.
The focus on explaining why something is flagged (additives, sugars, packaging impact, brand practices, etc.) instead of just giving a vague score is a big trust builder. And the idea of earning rewards for scanning while making cleaner choices is a smart way to build a habit loop.
Excited to see where you take this next (especially recommendations and multi-product comparisons) — this is exactly the kind of tool that can quietly but meaningfully upgrade everyday decisions. Congrats to the whole team on the launch!
