Is it really free?
Yes. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Down the track it'll be paid for by brands buying anonymised insight reports, not by you.
Do I need an account?
No. The app creates a random device key so it can count your answers and let you delete them. We never ask for your name, email or phone number.
Are you selling my data?
No. When insight reports launch, they'll contain combined totals only, like "41% of people who passed on this cited hidden sugars." Nothing that could identify you, and never your individual answers.
What are Signal Credits?
Credits you earn every time you scan a product or decode some terms. For now they show your impact and have no cash value. Bank them: as the SeedTree ecosystem grows, they'll turn into agency within it.
Does it only work on food?
Product lookups start with Open Food Facts, so food and drink work best right now. You can search by name for other products, and we're widening coverage.
Is there a web version?
Yes, in beta. Open the web app to use both tools in your browser, no download needed. Your answers count the same as the phone apps'.
Who's behind it?
SeedTree Earth, an Australian regenerative coordination project. U Lost Me is one of the first seeds in a bigger ecosystem of tools for people who want their everyday choices to grow something better.
