Checkit is a revolutionary app designed to help users make informed and ethical shopping decisions. Whether you're preparing for Thanksgiving or simply looking for healthier, more sustainable options, Checkit empowers you to scan any product—shelf, fridge, or vending machine—to instantly see how it ranks in terms of health, sustainability, and ethics. No barcode is needed; just point your phone and get real-time insights about what's inside the products you care about.
Formerly known as Ecolink, Checkit leverages real-time AR scanning technology to provide detailed information on ingredients, environmental impact, and ethical practices. The app helps users avoid allergens, find cleaner ingredients, and stay updated on recalls, boycotts, and hidden risks. With over 3 million products in its database and millions of scans performed, Checkit has become a trusted tool for consumers seeking transparency in their purchases.
Checkit works by allowing users to point their phone at any product, whether in a store, fridge, or vending machine. Using augmented reality (AR) technology, the app instantly analyzes the product and displays its scores across multiple categories such as health, environment, and ethics. This makes it easy for users to compare products side-by-side and choose those that align with their values.
The app also includes a personalized dashboard where users can set filters based on dietary restrictions, ethical concerns, or environmental goals. For example, users can filter for gluten-free, baby-safe, fair trade, or seed oil-free products. These settings shape every scan, ensuring only relevant results are shown.
Checkit is ideal for a wide range of users, including:
| Use Case | Description |
