Flamingo is designed to be used on any common device accessing the internet (desktop, mobile, tablet...). It is also designed so that you may save any key parameters on a device (e.g., ingredients you want to avoid) and access these parameters later on any other device.

It is often possible to a person who is familiar with their devices to develop specific widgets or shortcuts that optimize usage of Flamingo on their favorite device.

Below is a example of a Shortcut that can be freely installed on recent iPhones to facilitate common usage of Flamingo on mobile phones, including scanning a product barcode and quickly checking that the ingredients of any product you find on the web match your own safety or ethics criteria (e.g., "avoid products that contain ingredients that are not recommended when I am pregnant or not good for the planet and products that contain methylisothiazolinone ").

If you develop and wish to share more Shortcuts for iOS or other platforms (Android...), we are always happy to help.

To install the shortcuts,  simply click the provided links, then follow Apple's instructions for Shortcuts.
