Travel, visa and pure-veg scanner tools for Indian travellers.
A travel companion built specifically for Indian passport holders. Check visa requirements, scan foreign groceries for hidden non-vegetarian ingredients, convert prices to INR, translate offline, and read country safety guidance — alongside a curated travel video feed. The utilities are engineered for zero-network resilience, so they keep working when your roaming does not.
Key features
What you actually get
Everything below is in the app today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
Visa checker for Indian passports
Search any destination and filter by Visa Free, Visa on Arrival, e-Visa or Required. Results are cached locally for 24 hours so repeat lookups work without a connection.
Pure-veg food scanner
Scan a barcode and the app looks the product up, then checks the full ingredient list — including the sub-ingredients — to catch hidden non-veg additives like gelatin and certain E-numbers.
Offline translator
Translate between languages entirely on your phone, and hear the result read aloud. Download a language once and it works with no connection after that.
Currency converter
Live rates for ten major currencies, INR-first, with a one-tap swap. Switching currencies cancels any in-flight request so you never see a stale rate.
Safety and scam alerts
Country-specific emergency numbers for police, ambulance and tourist help, plus curated lists of the most common local scams. Bundled with the app, so no network is required.
Offline travel guides
Full travel articles for Vietnam, Bali, Amsterdam and Switzerland, stored inside the app so they open instantly with no signal.
Curated travel video feed
Trending Now, Latest Adventures, Blockbusters and Shorts, kept up to date for you and saved on the phone so the feed is there the moment you open it.
Bookmarks that survive a reinstall
Saved foods are stored in a local database that is included in Android’s own backup, so your list follows you to a new device.

Who it's for
Is this for you?
You’re planning a trip and need to know about the visa
Search the country and get the answer for an Indian passport specifically — visa free, on arrival, e-visa or required — rather than a generic table you have to interpret.
You’re standing in a foreign supermarket
Scan the barcode and find out whether it is actually vegetarian, including the hidden things like gelatin that the front of the packet will not tell you.
You’ve just landed and have no signal yet
Emergency numbers, the scams that are common in that country, and offline travel guides are already on your phone before you find wifi.
You’re trying to work out if something is expensive
Type the price and see it in rupees straight away, without opening a browser or wondering whether the rate is out of date.
