Approved Descriptions
Copy you can paste into listings and articles.
Short (listing)
Lychee is a free, independent food scanner for iOS and Android. Scan any barcode to spot ultra-processed foods, risky additives, allergens, and hidden sugars — plus cosmetics and skincare scanning.
Long (article)
Lychee is a free food scanner app built for people who read labels. Scanning a barcode shows a Health Score from 0 to 100 that penalizes ultra-processed foods first, with NOVA processing signals, additive safety context from EU, FDA, and EFSA sources, custom allergen profiles with Safe / Avoid alerts, and estimates for heavy-metal risk and blood-sugar impact. It also scans cosmetics and personal-care labels. Lychee is independently built, with no ads, no sponsorships, and no account required. It provides educational label information, not medical advice.

Coverage Guidelines
How to describe Lychee accurately.
Describe Lychee primarily as a food scanner; cosmetics and beauty scanning is a secondary feature. Core scanning is free and works without an account. Lychee is independent — there are no brand partnerships or sponsored results to disclose.
Please don’t describe Lychee as medical advice, an allergy guarantee, a calorie counter, or a diet app. Scans are educational context, and readers should always check the physical label for allergy and health decisions.
