Inside a result

A verdict you can check, not just trust

Every scan shows its working. You see which ingredient decided the answer and what to do about it.

  1. The verdict & confidence

    Halal, Haram or Mushbooh in colour, with a confidence percentage and a plain-language explainer of what the status means.

  2. Critical issues

    The ingredients that forced the verdict - gelatin, carmine, lard, alcohol content - named outright, not hidden behind a red badge.

  3. Requires verification

    Doubtful items whose source decides the ruling, like E471, lecithin or rennet, so you know what to check on the packet.

  4. Recommendations

    What to do next - look for a certification mark, contact the manufacturer, or pick a clearly labelled alternative.

A closer look

Beautifully simple, seriously thorough

Nutrition levels, category browsing and offline search - every screen earns its place.

Barcode scanner with the camera viewfinder and torch control
Scanning

Point at the barcode, get an answer

The scanner is the whole app in one gesture. Line the code up and the verdict is on screen in about a second, with no round trip to a server.

  • Reads EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E and Code-128
  • Torch toggle for badly lit supermarket aisles
  • Type the digits in when a label is scuffed beyond reading
  • Every scan is saved to your history automatically
Product status with Halal and Vegetarian certification badges
Certifications

Halal marks, spotted for you

Where a product carries a recognised certification, the app surfaces it next to the verdict - and says plainly when a Halal result came from ingredient analysis instead of a certifier.

  • A found certification raises the confidence behind a Halal verdict
  • Vegetarian and other dietary labels shown alongside
  • Tells you the basis for the result, not just the answer

  • Nutri Score and Green Score, with what each grade means
  • Ingredient analysis chips - palm oil, vegan, vegetarian
  • Labels and certifications the product carries
  • Origin and other details where they're declared

Beyond the verdict

The full nutrition picture too

A halal answer is the start. Every scanned product also carries its nutrition data, pulled from the same offline catalogue.

  • Nutrient levels per 100 g, flagged low, moderate or high
  • Colour-coded bars, so high salt or sugar is obvious at a glance
  • Every declared nutriment, from energy and fats to vitamins
  • Carbon footprint listed where the data exists

The app running with no network connection

No connection

Everything still works

Offline-first

No signal in the freezer aisle? Still works.

During setup you pick one of 42 country catalogues and it downloads to your device, alongside the halal rules database. From then on a scan never waits on a network - which is the whole point, because the aisle is exactly where signal disappears.

  • Scanning, search, browsing and favourites all work offline
  • Refreshes in the background about once a month
  • Wi-Fi only by default - mobile data is your choice
  • Products outside your catalogue can be looked up online, with your permission
The verdicts

Three clear answers, never guesswork

Every product lands in one of three statuses, based on its ingredients and Islamic dietary rules.

Permitted

Halal

Plant-based ingredients, halal-source or certified animal products, and permissible additives.

Doubtful

Mushbooh

Ingredients whose source needs verifying - some emulsifiers, gelatin, rennet - or a label too sparse to judge.

Forbidden

Haram

Pork and its derivatives, intoxicating alcohol, non-halal gelatin and other prohibited ingredients.
