Licences & Attribution
Tvara stands on a lot of other people's work. This page credits it.
Food data

| FoodData Central | USDA (United States) | Public domain (CC0) |
| Open Food Facts | Open Food Facts contributors | ODbL 1.0 |
| BLS 4.0 | Max Rubner-Institut (Germany) | CC BY 4.0 |
| Ciqual 2025 | ANSES (France) | Open licence (Etalab) |
| Canadian Nutrient File 2026 | Health Canada | Open Government Licence — Canada |

Open Food Facts attribution. Nutrition facts sourced from Open Food Facts are © Open Food Facts contributors and made available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL) 1.0. Tvara redistributes individual facts, not the database itself. This attribution also appears in the app under Settings → About.
Icons
App and website icons are from Tabler Icons, MIT licence, © Paweł Kuna. On iOS, some system glyphs are Apple SF Symbols, used under Apple's terms and not redistributed.
Typefaces
This website uses Clash Display and Switzer by the Indian Type Foundry, served by Fontshare under the ITF Free Font Licence. The app itself uses the operating system's own typefaces — SF Pro on iOS, Roboto on Android — and bundles no fonts.
Maps
Route maps are rendered with MapLibre GL (BSD-3-Clause), with tiles from MapTiler and map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence.
Software
Tvara is built with React Native and on a large amount of open-source software, almost all of it under the MIT licence, with a handful of Apache-2.0 components. The licence texts below govern that software.
A complete, current list of every package we ship, with its copyright holder and licence, is available on request from hello@tvara.health.
