Ovaio — PCOS & Endometriosis Food Scanner

About

Ovaio — PCOS, Endometriosis & PMDD Food Scanner

Know what's safe for your body before you cook, shop, or eat. Ovaio is a Chrome extension built for women managing PCOS, endometriosis, PMDD, and overlapping hormonal conditions. It scans ingredient lists on recipes and products while you browse, rates each ingredient for your condition, and optionally saves everything to your free health journal at ovaio.app.

Ovaio is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your doctor or dietitian about dietary changes.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Install Ovaio and complete quick onboarding — choose your condition (PCOS, Endometriosis, PMDD, or more than one) and optional food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts).

2. Browse any supported recipe or product page. Ovaio reads the visible ingredient list on your device and analyses it instantly — no need to copy-paste.

3. See results everywhere: coloured highlights on the page itself, a floating score badge, a toolbar popup summary, and a full Chrome side panel with every ingredient explained.

4. Optionally link your free ovaio.app account to save scans, log symptoms, sync your avoid list, and unlock Pro AI features.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AUTOMATIC INGREDIENT SCANNING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Scans recipe and product pages automatically when you visit them
• Works on 32+ supported websites (and growing)
• Analyses ingredients on your device — we do not upload full web pages
• Large built-in ingredient database with regular server updates (syncs every 30 minutes when online)
• Detects E-numbers and food additives with dedicated additive ratings
• Personalises scores for PCOS, endometriosis, PMDD, or combined profiles
• Applies your personal avoid list — custom ingredients always flagged as triggers
• Respects onboarding sensitivities (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, nuts) with adjustable sensitivity weights synced from your journal
• Recipe scanning: parses structured ingredient lists line by line
• Product scanning: analyses supplement and grocery product ingredient blocks (Amazon, iHerb, etc.)
• Unknown ingredients are queued for database improvement — your scans help the community

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRAFFIC-LIGHT RATINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Every ingredient is rated for your body:

🔴 TRIGGERS — ingredients that commonly worsen PCOS, endo, or PMDD symptoms (insulin spikes, inflammation, hormone disruption, etc.)
🟡 CAUTIONS — use in moderation or depending on your current flare status
🟢 SAFE — generally well-tolerated for your selected condition

Each ingredient card includes a plain-English reason — not just a colour, but why it was flagged.

Your overall meal or product gets a Health Score from 0–10 with a label (e.g. Good fit, Use caution, High triggers) plus trigger, caution, and safe counts.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ON-PAGE OVERLAYS

• Toolbar badge — the extension icon shows your current page score (green, amber, or red)
• Low-score alert — optional Chrome notification when a scan scores below 3/10 with many triggers
