How it works

Three seconds at the shelf.

1

Set your goal

More protein, fewer calories, less added sugar, more fiber, or better protein value. Change it anytime.

2

Scan two barcodes

Point the camera at any two packages. AptBite normalizes serving sizes so the comparison is fair.

3

Get the verdict + why

One clear winner, the size of the difference, and the trade-off — like which one is cheaper per 25 g of protein.

Not another health score

We don't score.
We compare.

Health scores hide the math behind a letter grade. AptBite shows you the actual difference for the goal you chose — and always lets you open the formula and check the numbers yourself.

When the two products are effectively tied, AptBite says so — and tells you what to decide on instead.

63 kcal fewer

…to reach the same 25 g of protein. That's what a verdict looks like: a number you can verify, not a grade you have to trust.

Verifiable by design

Real data. No account. No third-party tracking.

Transparent sources

Nutrition data comes from Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central, with source, completeness and last-verified date shown on every product.

Your data stays yours

No account, no sign-up, no advertising profile. Your picks and prices sync privately through your own iCloud. Barcodes and product names are never sent to our analytics.

Honest about gaps

If a label looks inconsistent or a source conflicts, AptBite flags it and refuses to make a recommendation — instead of guessing.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is AptBite different from apps that give a health score?

Health scores boil a label down to one letter and hide the math. AptBite shows the actual difference between two products for the goal you chose — and always lets you open the formula and check the numbers yourself.

Where does the nutrition data come from?

Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central, with the source, completeness and last-verified date shown on every product. When a label is missing or a source conflicts, we flag it instead of guessing.

Why do you sometimes say “effectively tied”?

Because honest answers beat forced ones. When two products are within 2% on the numbers that matter for your goal, we tell you it's a tie and what to decide on instead — usually price.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No account, no sign-up. Your picks, prices and history live on your device and sync privately through your own iCloud. Product lookups use a barcode request, while barcodes and product names never reach our analytics.

Do I need an account to use AptBite?

No. Open the app, set a goal, scan two barcodes. That's it.
