I really like the community-driven approach here. The idea of having a large, open database that people can actually contribute to makes it much more useful than a simple product-scanning app. The recent improvements to OCR and the wider category support are especially interesting.

DISCLAIMERS :
Adding custom repo might not be as secure as the official one so I'm not responsable if you encounter any problems with them ! I encourage you to do your own research about it !
Also while open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
Most apps that I've listed are privacy friendly but some might be not be perfectly private and secure. I again encourage you to do your own research about them.
I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !

Beautiful Open Source Apps for iOS (nice & modern UI/UX)
UI = User Interface
UX = User eXperience
Open source apps are known for bad/inintuitive design. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your iPhone !
Apps are listed in alphabetical order !
Also look at : Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android for more open source apps for an Android device.
DISCLAIMERS
Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app.
While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps.
I again encourage you to do your own research about them and read their Privacy Policies.

Free, open-source, no ads, large database.
I really like the community-driven approach here. The idea of having a large, open database that people can actually contribute to makes it much more useful than a simple product-scanning app. The recent improvements to OCR and the wider category support are especially interesting.
A great tool for consumers, probably the closest equivalent to Yuka, but open-source and no longer limited to food and ingredients. Prices can also be added, and non-food categories have recently been better integrated. Sometimes the submission of changes freezes, and you’re not quite sure whether to wait or do something else in the meantime… At that point, the best thing to do is to scan the barcode again and use the website rather than the app.
The purpose of this app is noble... But, ease of using it is simply very bad... The user experience needs serious improvements... Adding a product to the database is also time consuming and confusing, literally, you've to use all of brainpower for it... Uploaded photos gets to very low resolution and blurry... Scaning nutrition chart from round bottles when updating information doesn't work as it should support panorama mode or similar... Also, manually adding nutrients values one by one takes a lot of time and is not user-friendly in my opinion... Simply, can't be used in most cases, as most products are missing from database...
There have been clear improvements over the last two years, particularly in terms of how easy it is to contribute. That said, taking five minutes to fill in a nutrition fact sheet isn’t really something that bothers me. A good tool like this, which is worth its salt, needs all this information. This is a community-driven service, just like OpenStreetMaps or OpenLibrary. You’re free not to contribute if you find it a bother. And according to my latest tests, OCR recognition on curved shapes has also been greatly improved :)
This app does not track anything on itself, but the barcode database is made available for other nutrition tracking apps, e.g. OpenNutriTracker.
Very good, quite complete.
However, the additives are not coloured (green, red, orange, yellow...) according to their degree of harmfulness... As a result, visibility is not obvious...
Open Food Facts is free, open source and easy to contribute to!
