Boycat

Boycat is an app that lets you scan the barcode of any supermarket product to check if the company that distributes it is involved in any bad business practices. This way, you can consider any ethical alternatives before you give your money to a corporation that engages in actions you disagree with. This is the only way to ensure ethical purchases.

Create a free account or log in as a guest

When you use Boycat, you can create a user account in a few seconds by simply entering an e-mail address and a secure password. While it is possible to use the app as a guest, only registered users can look at the product alternatives, and, more importantly, only those with user profiles can add information to the app. Thanks to the community's contributions, the app is becoming more useful daily.

Point and scan with your camera

The Boycat works is very simple—just scan the barcode of a product in the grocery store or any other store with the camera in the app, and you'll instantly see if the product in question complies with Boycat's ethical parameters or not. If it doesn't, the screen will turn red, and you can read exactly why the product failed the test. In addition to this, you can provide an ethical alternative if you know one. On the other hand, if the scanned product is from a sustainable company, the screen will turn blue.
