Frequently Asked Questions

How do I earn badges?
Track foods daily, contribute product data through Scout Mode, complete the kidney stone education course, suggest restaurants, customize your avatar, and refer friends. Each activity earns points and can unlock specific badges across three tiers: Discovery, Contribution, and Expert.
Is my data public?
Only if you opt in. Profile visibility is controlled in your settings. You can choose to make your profile public, set a username, and appear on the leaderboard. Your health data and food logs are always private.
What are Community Points?
Points are earned through contributions like flagging unknown foods (5 pts), submitting detailed food data (25 pts), and getting submissions verified (50 pts bonus). Points determine your contributor tier: Member, Contributor (5+), Verified (200+), and Expert (500+).
How does Scout Mode work?
When you scan a product barcode that lacks ingredient data, Scout Mode lets you photograph the ingredient label. OCR extracts the text, you review and submit it, and the data goes live immediately for everyone. You earn points, badges, and bonus scans for each contribution.
Can I see how many people I have helped?
Yes. Your profile tracks exactly how many people have benefited from your contributions. Every time someone scans a product you helped map, your impact counter goes up. Milestones are tracked at 1, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 people helped.

Your contribution helps someone you'll never meet.
