GlutenOrNot version 1.2 - check out the fresh coat of paint

A new release of GlutenOrNot is live in the Apple App Store: GlutenOrNot 1.2

Since the launch of this free gluten scanning app, we’ve added support for detecting gluten from barcodes and restaurant menus, as well as expanding support into multiple languages.

This new release is worth calling out as it’s a total redesign. While the prior version worked, it looked like a health app from 2014. Teal everywhere, a generic leaf logo, and the scan verdict crammed into a little pill.

In this new release, the verdict is the only color in the app. Everything else is neutral. When you scan something, Safe / Caution / Unsafe fills the screen and should be much easier to read and understand your result.

The old teal result screen next to the new neutral one with a full-bleed red Unsafe verdict — Before and after — same verdict, very different confidence.

Scanning got more capable, too. The new designs better support label detection, restaurant menu results and ingredient labels.

The new scan, menu, and safe screens — Scan, menu mode, and a clean "Safe."

The leaf mark has also been replaced. The new mark is a scan reticle with three dots: red, amber, green, and those dots are the only place the brand uses color.

The new GlutenOrNot mark and the three verdict colors — The new mark, and the only three colors that mean anything.

A redesign would not be complete without a new app icon:

New icon. The leaf is gone.

How the redesign came together

The first version of GlutenOrNot was designed in Figma Make. This new release was imagined in Claude Design.

The prompt I used to kickstart the new designs was shockingly simple.

id like to give this ios and web app a fresh coat of paint. i think the current styles are quite outdated. i love a minimal aesethetic. this is the repo: https://github.com/amr05008/glutenornot.com

The experience inside of Claude Design was a night and day difference vs Figma Make.

After the starting prompt, Claude Design used interactive questions and prompts to surface a few different design directions for me. Each direction showed the design treatment across scan → reading → result flows, plus all three verdict states.

The Claude Design canvas showing interactive design directions across the scan and result flow and all three verdict states — Claude Design's web UI surfacing interactive design directions.

Once we settled on a design direction, Claude Design produced the full design set for both the iOS app and the web app, as well as the App Store assets for submitting the new version to Apple, all in a tidy package for handing off to Claude Code.

What else

In addition to the new iOS version, the redesigned web app is live now at glutenornot.com, you can upload a photo of a label and get a verdict.

As always, it’s still free, you don’t need to make an account, and we still don’t track what you scan. And it’s all open source, so you can read the code yourself on GitHub.
