Sugar hides
in 65 names.

Managing your sugar intake means reading every label — but manufacturers bury it under dozens of aliases. Point your iPhone at any ingredient list. Zukr finds them all, instantly, no internet needed.
How It Works
Three seconds. That's all it takes.
No account. No setup. No waiting for a server. Just open the app and point.

Sugar lights up
Every sugar name highlights instantly with a pill label — glucose, sucrose, fructose, and 62 more names.
Why Zukr
Built for people who read every label
No typing. No barcode scanning. No database to browse. Zukr reads the label for you and highlights every sugar name — including the ones you'd never recognise.
Catches every alias
Sugar appears on labels as glucose syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin, invert sugar, and 50+ more names. Zukr knows all of them — so nothing slips through.

Who It's For
Made for people who can't afford to guess
Most people glancing at a label have some margin for error. These people don't — and Zukr is built for them.
Diabetics & pre-diabetics
When your health depends on what's in your food, you need certainty — not guesswork. Zukr flags every sugar ingredient the moment it sees the label, including the aliases manufacturers rely on you not recognising.
Primary audienceParents of young children
Kids' snacks are engineered to taste good and list sugar in small print under creative names. Scan the box before it reaches the trolley — no squinting required.
Low-carb & keto
Net carbs are only useful if you know what you're actually counting. Zukr surfaces every carbohydrate sugar in the ingredient list — not just the ones labelled "sugar."
International shoppers

Questions
Everything you need to know
Before you scan your first label.
Zukr helps you identify sugar ingredients in food so you can make more informed choices about what you eat. It doesn't provide medical advice or glucose readings — that's between you and your healthcare provider. But many people managing their sugar intake find it invaluable for quickly spotting hidden sugars they'd otherwise miss or not recognise by name. Ingredients like dextrose, maltose, and invert sugar are all detected the same as sucrose or "sugar."
Yes — completely. Zukr uses Apple's on-device Vision framework, so every scan happens entirely on your iPhone. No Wi-Fi, no cellular data, no server round-trips. Works in airplane mode, in a foreign country, in a basement with zero signal. Your food choices stay private because nothing ever leaves your phone.
Zukr recognises sugar ingredient names in 18 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Czech, Slovak, Romanian, Hungarian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, and Japanese. If sugar hides under a local alias — Saccharose, saccharose, sacarosa, グルコース — Zukr knows all of them.
No. Zukr is a one-time purchase — pay once and own it permanently, including all future updates. Start with a full 7-day free trial, no credit card required. No recurring charges. No "basic vs. pro" tiers. One price, one purchase, done.
Zukr detects all common added sugars and aliases — sucrose, glucose, fructose, dextrose, maltose, lactose, galactose, high-fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, invert sugar, cane sugar, coconut sugar, palm sugar, agave, honey, molasses, treacle, barley malt, and many more. It covers the real names food manufacturers use on labels, not just "sugar."
Zukr requires iOS 15.6 or later, which runs on iPhone 6s and newer. The app is tuned to be lightweight and battery-friendly — it caps the camera at 15 fps and runs all processing on-device without hammering the CPU. Fast even on older hardware.
Yes. When Zukr finds sugar ingredients you can export an annotated snapshot — the food label with highlighted sugar names overlaid — and share it directly from the app. Useful for sending to a doctor, a family member, or just keeping a record.
