Free barcode scanning
Point the scanner at a packaged label, confirm the match, and log it — barcode is included on the free tier.
Barcode scanning is free for every Hammr account. Adaptive macros and AI meal logging are Premium. The scanner is not.
Scan a packaged food
- Open the Nutrition tab.
- Tap a meal, then open the barcode scanner.
- Line up the barcode in the frame until Hammr matches a product.
- Confirm the name, serving, and quantity.
- Log it to the meal.
Results pull from the same merged food databases as search (USDA, Open Food Facts, FatSecret). If the scan misses, search by product name or create a custom food.
When to scan vs search
Use barcode for anything with a UPC on the package. Use search for restaurant items, produce, and foods without a scannable code. Use Photo → Macros or Text → Macros when there is no label at all.
What is still Premium
Hammr includes scanning on free so you can track food without a second diet subscription. That is the point of the free tier — not a trial-only scanner.
