All your data is stored locally on your device (Apple® SwiftData). No personal data is transmitted to our servers or to third parties. The app works fully offline.
The following data is stored locally on your device:
When scanning a barcode, the EAN number (barcode number) is sent sequentially to the following open, non-profit databases to retrieve product information (name, brand, image, allergens):
No personal data is transmitted β only the barcode number. For food products, allergen information is also retrieved and stored locally.
Previously scanned products are cached locally on the device (offline cache), so no internet connection is required when scanning the same product again.
When AI recipe recognition is enabled, the photographed image of the ingredient list is forwarded for analysis via a secured server of the publisher (PC-Future GmbH, Germany) to the AI service Claude AI by Anthropic (USA).
Only the image data of the ingredient list is sent β no personal data, account information, or other content. The images are neither stored by the publisher nor by Anthropic, and are not used for training purposes.
The same applies to the "Convert units & translate" function, where recognized ingredients are processed as text.
Without AI recognition, text recognition is performed entirely offline on the device.
The app allows importing shopping lists from Thermomix®/Cookidoo® via the iOS share function. Imported data is processed and stored exclusively on the device. No data is transmitted to the app provider or third parties.
The app requires camera access for the following functions:
No photos or videos are taken without your active initiation. Product photos taken are stored exclusively on your device.
If you wish to select a product image from your photo library, the app requires access to your photos. This access is only granted with your explicit consent. No photos are uploaded or transmitted without your selection.
The app can remind you weekly about products nearing their expiry date. These notifications are created locally on the device β no push service or server is used. You can disable notifications at any time in the app settings. Day, time, and advance notice period are individually configurable.
The app offers Apple Watch® integration via WatchConnectivity. The shopping list is synchronized between iPhone® and Apple Watch®. Data remains on your own devices and is not transmitted to third parties.
The app offers optional family synchronization via iCloud® (CloudKit). You can enable this feature in the settings.
When family synchronization is enabled, the following data is stored in your private iCloud® zone:
Data is stored in a private CloudKit zone in your personal iCloud® β not on the app provider's servers. The app provider has no access to your data stored in iCloud®.
When you invite family members, an iCloud® share is created. Invited persons receive read and write access to the shared zone. The invitation code is provided via an iCloud® share URL.
Synchronization is incremental β only changes are transmitted, not the entire dataset. Automatic synchronization occurs at configurable intervals (1, 5, or 10 minutes) and each time the app is opened.
You can disable family synchronization at any time and delete all family data from iCloud®.
The app offers a free basic version with a limited number of items. The full version is unlocked through a one-time in-app purchase via the App Store®. Payment processing is handled exclusively by Apple® β the app provider does not receive any payment data.
The app offers the following export and import functions:
These files are only created when you actively use the function. The files remain on your device or are shared by you personally.
Through your device's iCloud® backup, app data is automatically backed up if you have enabled this in your iOS settings.
The allergen information in this app comes from the publicly available databases of Open Food Facts and is maintained by volunteers worldwide. The app supports all 14 EU main allergens.
This information is provided for informational purposes only and does not replace reading the product packaging. The information is provided without guarantee of accuracy or completeness.
If you have allergies or intolerances, please always check the ingredient list on the original packaging. The developer assumes no liability for health-related damage caused by incorrect or incomplete data.
The app contains no advertising, no tracking, no analytics, and no social media integrations. No usage data is collected or shared with third parties.
The following features process data exclusively on your device:
Since all data is stored locally on your device (or in your private iCloud® when family synchronization is enabled), you have full control at all times. You can:
