Fringe Ingredient Decoder

Fringe Ingredient Decoder

Scan a barcode or paste ingredients and get a fast, plain-English read on what is in the product. The app is designed for quick recognition, not long explanations.

What it does

Looks up product labels with Open Food Facts, parses ingredient lists on-device, and uses a bundled ingredient library built from Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, and FDA inactive-ingredient data.

When a name is still hard to match, the app can make a lightweight public taxonomy lookup and cache the improved match locally on your device.

How it feels

Home first. Scan when you want. Paste anytime. Results are short, visual, and tap-through.

Data handling

No account, no sync, no backend owned by the app. Recent scans, manual entries, and improved ingredient matches stay local to your device.
