Descriptions

One line

Media Nutrition Label is an iPhone app that reads a social post and prints a label for the persuasion techniques it seems to use.

Short

Media Nutrition Label (MNL) reads a social post and prints a label laid out like a nutrition panel: what the post is saying, how hard it pulls on you, and the persuasion techniques it seems to use. Share a post into it from the app you're already in, or give it a screenshot. Labels are written by AI and can be wrong.

Long

Every cereal box has a nutrition label. Nothing in your feed does. Media Nutrition Label (MNL) is an iPhone app that reads a social post and prints one: what the post is saying in plain words, what it wants you to do, how hard it pulls on you and why, the persuasion techniques it seems to use, one move to defuse the first, and a question to ask yourself. When a post makes a claim worth checking, Check this claim searches the public web and prints what named sources say. Every label joins your media diet, so over a week you can see which techniques keep turning up. Labels are written by an AI model and can be wrong; MNL reads how a post is built to persuade, not whether it is right. The app is free to use; MNL Pro is $8.99 a month and renews until you cancel. It is an independent app, built and run by one person in Connecticut.

A few notes

  • Labels are written by AI and can be wrong. MNL reads how a post is built to persuade, not whether it is right.
  • The sample posts on this site are made up: no real account, brand or person is behind them.
  • The name is Media Nutrition Label. MNL is fine after the first mention.
