Built My First App
by•
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Patrick, and Sift is the first app I’ve shipped solo this year.
The idea came from a simple frustration: I’d flip over a box of something marketed as “healthy” or “clean,” squint at the ingredients, and have no real way to evaluate what I was looking at. Reading labels is a skill most of us were never taught.
So I built Sift to do the work for you:
• 📸 Scan any food label or barcode
• 🎯 Get an honest health score (no brand favoritism)
• 💬 Ask the Sift Assistant questions like “is maltodextrin actually bad?” in plain English
• 👪 Family plan: up to 6 allergen profiles with per-person safety indicators on every scan
Free to download. Premium is $4.99/mo for unlimited scans + unlimited chat. Family is $9.99/mo.
Stack: Expo, React Native, Supabase, RevenueCat, Claude API for the assistant.
What I’d love from you:
1. Scan something in your pantry you think is healthy and tell me what you found
2. Brutal feedback on the onboarding flow
3. Any ingredient or category Sift gets wrong — I want to know
I’ll be in the comments all day. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

Love this, Patrick! That label-reading frustration is so real. I'll download and scan a few pantry staples...curious what scores they get.
If you're up for it, I'm launching The Sponge on PH soon...an AI-powered flashcard app with a browser extension that turns webpages into study material using spaced repetition. Would appreciate a follow (see "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" link in my profile).
