FAQ

Is Nomi free?

Yes. Download free on iOS and Android. We may add optional Pro features later.

Does it work offline?

Barcode checks need internet to fetch product data. The camera works offline and we try to be quick on poor connections.

What is “ultra‑processed”?

Nomi uses the widely‑used NOVA classification system — the same one used by researchers and dietitians — to flag ultra‑processed food (UPF) containing extracted, refined or industrial additives.
