## What is LettuceSave?

LettuceSave turns the food you already have into meals, and keeps it from going to waste in the back of your kitchen.

Point your camera at your fridge, freezer, or pantry (or snap a grocery receipt) and LettuceSave's AI instantly identifies every item, estimates quantities, and tracks expiration dates for you. No typing. No spreadsheets. Your whole kitchen, in one place.

Then it does the part that matters: it generates recipes and meal plans built around what's about to go bad, so you cook what you have instead of ordering out or throwing food away.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• Whole-kitchen inventory. AI food recognition logs your fridge, freezer, and pantry in seconds
• Receipt scanning. Snap a grocery receipt to log a whole shop at once
• Expiration tracking. See what to use now, before it spoils
• Recipes from your ingredients. Meal ideas using what you already own
• Meal and budget planning. Eat well for less, waste nothing
• Snap Your Plate. Photograph a finished meal and log the money you saved

STOP WASTING FOOD (AND MONEY)
The average household throws out around $1,500 of food every year. LettuceSave helps you claw that back, one rescued ingredient at a time. Better for your wallet and the planet.

Whether you're on a grocery budget, meal prepping for the week, or just tired of finding forgotten leftovers, LettuceSave is your smart kitchen inventory, expiration tracker, and recipe generator in one.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-17

A fresh start for LettuceSave.

Your kitchen, made into a meal plan. Onboarding now builds real recipes from exactly what you have. Add or scan a few items and see dinner come together in about a minute.
Only what you have, made clear. Recipes mark which ingredients are already in your kitchen, which are common pantry staples, and which to add to your shopping list.
Scan a receipt, or upload one. Snap your groceries, or pick a receipt photo from your library, and we sort it all into your kitchen.
Set the expiry that is right. Tap any item's day badge to pick an exact date, so freshness reminders match your food.
Tell us how you eat. Set dietary preferences once and your recipes respect them.
Share the good stuff. Turn any recipe into a clean "SAVE THIS" card and send it to a friend or your story.
Plus speed and polish across scanning and recipes.

Thanks for helping us waste less food, one kitchen at a time.

• A handful of behind-the-scenes fixes to keep things running clean.

Thanks for using LettuceSave!

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-18

Snap Your Plate is here!

Just cooked something? Take a photo of your finished plate and
LettuceSave figures out what you made, logs it as a cooked meal,
and credits the money you saved - automatically. Share your wins
with a tap.

Also in this release:
• Storage tips that actually help - 53 curated, source-backed tips
  (USDA, Cornell, Penn State) surfaced right when you're saving an

### 1.2.1 — 2026-05-03

This build introduces a brand-new first-time experience and a bunch of quality-of-life improvements.

NEW
- Meet Chef Lettuce — your kitchen's new best friend greets you on the home screen with a welcome card when you first open the app.
- First-scan flow: scan your kitchen, review what we found, adjust dates with one tap, and get a dinner recipe suggestion using your expiring items — all before you even think about subscribing.
- Impact projection screen shows exactly how much money and CO₂ your first scan just rescued.
- Daily 5:30 PM dinner reminders that know which item in your kitchen is expiring soonest.
- "Remind Me Tonight" — tap once on the welcome card to get a scan reminder later today.

IMPROVED
- Kitchen List view now has inline + / − buttons to bulk-adjust expiry dates without opening a modal.
- Scanner now asks "How do you want to scan?" on your first scan (receipt / fridge / barcode) so you get the best results.
- Paywall copy rewritten and now shows what *you* scanned, not generic marketing.
- Gentler notification opt-in — if you said no, we'll offer it again once, then stop asking.
