Know the footprint behind what you buy.
Vestiga is a sustainability-focused mobile app that helps you understand the environmental impact of the products you buy. Scan a barcode, see a product's carbon footprint and ethical profile, and track your impact over time — turning everyday shopping choices into informed ones.
Built by Code Badger.
Vestiga — Latin for "traces" or "footprints".
- Barcode scanning — point your camera at a product to look it up instantly.
- Carbon footprint tracking — see the environmental impact of products and your cumulative footprint.
- Ethical shopping insights — surfaces information to help you make more sustainable choices.
- Personalised reporting — track your impact over time with clear, readable summaries.
- Cloud sync — your data is backed by Supabase, so it follows you across sessions.
