Smooth App is the official Open Food Facts mobile application for Android and iOS, built with Flutter and Dart. It lets users scan food product barcodes to look up nutrition facts, ingredients, and health scores from the collaborative Open Food Facts database.
Use cases
- scan food barcodes to check nutrition facts
- look up ingredients and allergens in packaged foods
- find the Nutri-Score of a product while shopping
- contribute photos and data about food products
- build an app on top of the Open Food Facts API
- compare foods to find healthier options
When to choose
- you want a ready-made mobile app to explore Open Food Facts data
- you need a Flutter reference implementation for barcode-scanning food apps
- you want to contribute to an open, collaborative food database
When to avoid
- you need a backend server or API rather than a mobile client (see openfoodfacts-server)
- you need a non-Flutter native Android or iOS app
- you need desktop production support (desktop is development-only)
