How it works

Scan a product. Tell us what applies to you.
See what fits your body.

Three steps. The same product gets a different grade depending on whose body is holding the phone.


How it works

1. Tell us about you, once. Pick from 135 conditions, your goals, and your eating patterns — whatever applies to you, or to the person you’re shopping for. Even “just eating healthier” counts. Velrae remembers. About two minutes the first time. You only revisit it when something changes.
2. Scan. Four ways: barcode, photo, live camera, or paste/type. Our reader handles curved bottles, small fonts, and faded packaging — and lets you scan a nutrition panel on any product, even one with no barcode. Included in every plan. (Restaurant-dish grading from a plain-English description is a separate add-on — $9.99/year or $29.99 lifetime, no monthly. See pricing.)
3. See your personalized grade. Letter grade A–F. Plain-English why for every flagged ingredient. Better-picks suggestions when the grade is poor. A clean, doctor-ready PDF written every month, ready for your next visit. Five seconds from launch to decision in the grocery aisle.
And not just food. The same three steps work on your bathroom shelf — scan a shampoo, lotion, sunscreen, or makeup label and it’s graded for your conditions, just like a food. Personal-care scanning is included.

Same product. Different bodies. Different grades.

What you’ll see in the app

Five tabs working together

  • Scan — type the ingredients, snap a photo of the label, or scan a barcode. Velrae grades the product for your profile.
  • List — build a grocery list at home, then walk the aisle tapping each item to grade it before it goes in the cart.
  • Today — six quick sliders for Energy, Mental clarity, Mood, Joints, Sleep last night, and Gut, plus optional notes.
  • Log — keeps track of what you bought, what you actually ate, and what worked for you, so Patterns has a clear picture to learn from.
  • Patterns — a radar chart of how you’ve been feeling, then plain-English call-outs like “try skipping these two for two weeks and see if your energy steadies.”

Two minutes a day. A few weeks in, the patterns sharpen into a doctor-ready summary you can hand over in 90 seconds.

The ingredients don’t change. The body does.


Built for the body you actually live in

Pick the lane that fits you — or just use it to eat a little better every day.


Three signals, side by side.

Velrae isn’t just a food scanner. It’s a daily diary where three things sit next to each other:

1. What you ate. Every scan, every meal, every grocery item — graded for your body.
2. How you felt. Six quick wellness sliders — Energy, Mental clarity, Mood, Joints, Sleep, Gut — seven seconds a day.
3. Your numbers. Blood pressure, weight, blood glucose — whichever apply to you. Auto-on for the conditions that need them.

That’s the whole picture. When you walk into your next doctor visit with three weeks of food + symptoms + numbers in one PDF, the conversation starts in a completely different place.


A page your doctor can read in 90 seconds.

Velrae writes a clean clinical summary every month — what you ate that’s flagged, your symptom trends, the patterns we noticed. You bring it to the appointment. Your doctor reads it in 90 seconds. The conversation starts on the third minute, not the thirteenth. See a sample →

Why we read the label, instead of looking it up

Most scanners check a giant product database. Look up a barcode, find a matching entry, read you whatever the system has. It sounds simple. It isn’t.

Product information goes stale. Manufacturers quietly change recipes — a new sweetener, a different oil, a swapped preservative — and the database doesn’t know. You scan today and get last year’s answer.

Most products never make it in. A regional brand, a generic version, a farmer’s-market jar, a brand-new product on the shelf this week — if it’s not in the database, you get nothing. Keeping a database of every product, every recipe change, every new release is a never-ending chase that’s never quite caught up.

Velrae works the other way. We read what’s actually in your hand — the ingredient list, the nutrition panel, the words printed right there on the package. Today’s label, today’s grade. Every time.

That’s why we can grade things other apps can’t. A brand-new product. A generic-brand version of a name-brand item. A farmer’s-market jar with no barcode. A recipe you wrote yourself. If the words are on the box, we can answer the question that matters most: is this right for my body?

And every scan you do makes the next person’s faster

Only the public-facing product information — what the label says and what’s in it — gets pooled so the next person who scans the same box gets an instant answer. Your health information, your check-ins, your diary, your conditions, your name: those stay on your phone. Always.

The result is a scanner that gets sharper every week from real people reading real labels.
