Scan any food label,
in any language.
Point your camera at the ingredients. Revely reads them, translates them, and tells you what they mean for your allergies, your diet, and anyone you shop for.
Or scan this with your iPhone camera.
On Android? Get told when it’s ready.
The aisle
Reading a label shouldn’t be this hard.
Twelve lines of small print, half of them words from a lab. What you avoid might be in there, or it might not. Standing in the aisle, there’s no way to tell.
One ingredient, a dozen names.
Whey. Casein. Lactose. Sodium caseinate. Every one of them is milk, and only one of them says so.
The rules keep moving.
Sesame only became a required allergen label in the US in 2023. The EU pulled titanium dioxide out of food in 2022. The US still allows it.
And it isn’t always in your language.
A jar from the Asian grocery. A snack somebody brought back. A pack printed for a market that isn’t yours.
So you put it back on the shelf. Or you buy it and hope.
How it works
Tell us once. We check every label against it.
Setting it up takes about a minute. After that the camera does the work.
Say who it’s for.
You, your child, a partner, a parent you cook for. Everyone gets a profile of their own.
Say what to watch for.
Allergies, and how strict to be about each one. Conditions you’re managing. Diets you keep to.
Then point the camera.
One word, and the reason under it. The printed label on one side, your language on the other.
One photo, everybody’s answer.
Switch to another profile and the scan on screen is checked again straight away. No second photo.
Who we quote
We show you who says so.
Where there is a published finding on an ingredient, we quote it and name who published it. Their words, not our summary. You read it, and you decide.
US Food and Drug Administration
Decides which additives may be used in food sold in the United States, and in what quantity. When it withdraws an approval or requires a warning on a label, that decision is what we quote.
European Food Safety Authority
Gives the EU its scientific advice on food risk, and re-examines additives that are already on sale. It is usually the reason the same ingredient is treated one way in Europe and another in the US.
International Agency for Research on Cancer
Part of the WHO. It grades how strong the evidence is that something can cause cancer, which is not the same as how risky it is in the amounts you would actually eat. We quote the grade and say which of the two it measures.
World Health Organization
Sets the international guidance that most national advice on diet is built from, including the limits on things like sodium and free sugars.
Questions
Good to know.
How accurate is it?
Revely reads the list printed on the pack in your hand, so a quiet recipe change can’t slip past it. A photo can still lose a word to glare or a crease, so for a severe allergy, use Revely as a second check, not the only one.
Does it work without a signal?
No. Labels are read on our servers, not on the phone, so scanning needs a data connection.
What happens to my photo?
It’s read, then deleted. It isn’t kept on our servers or in your history. We keep only a fingerprint of the image, which can’t be turned back into the photo. The details are in the privacy policy.
What does it cost?
Setting up profiles is free, and you’ll see an example scan before you pay anything. Scanning your own labels needs a monthly or annual subscription, and the annual plan starts with a free trial. The price in your currency is shown before you buy, and you can cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.
Which languages can it read?
Labels in most languages, shown next to a translation in yours. The app itself is in English, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Leave your email and we’ll send one message when it’s out, then delete your address.
Know what you’re eating.
Set up a profile, see an example scan, and take it to the shops.
