About this app

Think you’re buying from a cool indie granola brand? Surprise—it’s owned by the same conglomerate that makes engine degreaser and (allegedly) sells your info to the CIA. Buy’r is your pocket-sized truth serum: scan any grocery product and see exactly who profits, from your local co-op to a megacorp with 19 shell companies and a yacht named Tax Haven.

While other apps rate your food or hand out “approved” badges, we don’t tell you what’s good or bad. We just show you the facts—who owns it, what’s in it, and how processed it is—so you can decide what fits your life, values, and oddly specific food rules.

Because real empowerment doesn’t come from a green checkmark—it comes from knowing the truth.

OUR MISSION:
We’re a small, self-funded team on a big mission: radical transparency in the grocery aisle. No corporate backing, no brand sponsorships—not even from the “cool” ones.

Whether you're avoiding shady corporate practices, trying to support real small businesses, or just tired of decoding labels that sound like marketing Mad Libs, Buy’r puts the power back in your hands—where it belongs.

DISCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND EVERY PRODUCT:
Barcode Scanning - Point. Scan. Boom, instant dossier on the product, brand, and parent company. CIA-level info without the espionage.
Ownership Discovery - Find out if that "small batch, artisanal vibe" is real or just another product of a corporate rebrand strategy.
Brand & Company Spotlights - Deep-dives that feel like true crime documentaries—but for shampoo and salad dressing.

SMART SHOPPING TOOLS:
Custom Ingredient Filters - Whether you're allergic to gluten or just emotionally allergic to corn syrup, filter it all. Presets, breakdowns, the works.
Shopping Lists with Full Integration - Build lists that actually sync with your pantry. No more accidental double-buying basil for the fifth time.
Pantry Manager - Take control of your pantry like the food hoarder CEO you were born to be. Recipes and meal planners are in development.
Receipt Scan Import - Snap a pic of your Kroger or Walmart receipt—get your pantry logged in faster than a teenager logging into TikTok.

NUTRITION & TRANSPARENCY:
Detailed Nutrition Breakdown - We don’t just show calories—we show what those calories are hiding. Ultra-processed red flags, ingredient types, and what your food is actually made of (hint: it's not love).
Community Ratings & Reviews - Because the hive mind can be smarter than the label. See what real people think—no bots, no BS.

EDUCATIONAL & ENGAGING:
Interactive Quizzes - Think you know who owns your “indie” oat milk? Let’s test that brand loyalty.
Random Spotlight Carousel - A surprise-a-day from family-owned gems you probably missed while being hypnotized by mega-brand marketing.
31 Achievement Badges - Scan. Learn. Flex. Prove you’re not just a consumer—you’re a conscious one.

can I just say wow. Finding information on a product is so easy now. If finding facts on current events was this easy governments would fall! Not only is the color scale on this app easy on the eyes but, it is so user friendly. new apps can be over whelming to learn how to use but not this one! super user friendly!! And if you have trouble keeping the camera steady enough to scan the bar code, have NO fear! it scans so fast I was impressed! my phone sucks. they really cared when they made Buy'r.

it's a really great app but I really wish the toxins and chemicals feature was not the paid feature because it's the most important for parents. I think you should switch it so maybe the shopping list is a paid feature or something else. would be a great look. atleast give us a discount for a yearly subscription because $5 a month really adds up when you have kids. thanks!

If you don't want to give your money to the mega corporations that we pay to make us food that gives us cancer and all sorts of sickness and poison, download this buy'r app asap! I use it all the time. The scanner is super fast,and it doesn't take 5 mins to find a bar code like other apps. The only issue is I wish more was available without having to pay for it.
