Take control of what you scan with LB: Universal Scanner, a privacy-respecting product scanner for food, cat food, cosmetics, and cleaning products. Whether you are checking groceries, reviewing an imported ingredient list, scanning a cosmetic label, or looking up a household product, LB helps you understand what is inside with fast barcode lookup, text scanning, translation, and clear ingredient insights. WHY CHOOSE LB? No Accounts, No Hassle: Just download and start scanning. LB does not require your name, email, or phone number. Privacy First: Your scan history is stored on your device. You can disable history at any time, and you stay in control of your data. Multiple Scanner Modes: Switch between food, cat food, cosmetics, and cleaning products so each product type gets the right database and ingredient analysis. CORE FEATURES: Multi-Source Barcode Scanning: LB checks public product databases such as Open Food Facts, Pro Open Food Facts, Open Pet Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, Open Products Facts, and FoodRepo where available. Advanced Text Scan: Barcode missing, damaged, or not found? Take a photo of the ingredient list and LB will use text recognition to analyze it directly. Ingredient Insights: See highlighted ingredients grouped by concern or benefit, including warnings, allergens, helpful ingredients, and lower-concern items. Smart Translation: Translate product names, ingredients, warnings, and spoken summaries into your preferred language. Useful for imported products or travel. Allergen & Warning Alerts: LB checks ingredients against local databases for common allergens and ingredient warnings, including gluten, milk, peanuts, soy, sesame, sulfites, and more. Nutrition, Nutri-Score & Eco-Score: For food products, quickly review available nutrition details, Nutri-Score, Eco-Score, and high sugar, salt, or saturated fat alerts. Cosmetic & Chemical References: For supported cosmetic ingredients, LB can help open free external references such as PubChem, CosIng, ECHA, and EWG. Voice Assistant Mode: Enable spoken summaries for a more accessible scanning experience. Optional Tips: LB stays free. Optional tips are available if you want to support development, but they do not unlock features or bonuses. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Choose a scanner mode: Food, cat food, cosmetics, or cleaning products. 2. Scan a barcode: Get product details from supported public databases. 3. Review the results: See ingredients, warnings, allergens, nutrition, and ingredient insights. 4. Use photo scan if needed: Take a picture of the ingredient list when barcode results are missing. 5. Translate and revisit: Translate results into your preferred language and revisit past scans from history. Database coverage depends on public sources, so some products may be missing or incomplete. LB is an informational tool and does not replace medical, veterinary, or professional safety advice.
