## What is Recipe Reverse Lookup?

You open the fridge, stare at what's in there, and still can't decide what to make. Recipe Reverse Lookup works backwards from the usual recipe app: instead of picking a recipe and shopping for it, you tell the app what you already have, and it shows you what you can actually cook tonight.

START WITH YOUR PANTRY
Build your inventory in seconds. Scan a barcode and the product name fills itself in, snap a photo of a shelf or a grocery receipt and let the app read the items for you, or type them in by hand. Everything is organized by category so you always know what's on hand.

FIND RECIPES YOU CAN MAKE RIGHT NOW
See real matches based on your ingredients. Every recipe shows exactly which items you already have and which ones you're missing, so there are no surprises halfway through cooking. Short on one or two things? Send them straight to your shopping list, or tap Cook This Tonight to commit to a meal and clear the used items from your pantry.

STOP THROWING FOOD AWAY
Add expiration dates to your items and the app tracks what needs using first. Color-coded status shows what's expired, what runs out today, and what's coming due, and optional reminders nudge you before food goes bad instead of after.

KEEP YOUR COOKING ORGANIZED
Save favorites, build your own cookbooks, and revisit everything you've cooked in your history. Plan meals ahead, manage a running shopping list, and track the tools and appliances in your kitchen so recipes match what you can actually cook with.

COOK THE WAY YOU EAT
Set allergens to avoid and a dietary focus (like lower sodium, less added sugar, or gluten-free) and recipe cards highlight what fits. Keep USDA/FDA safe cook temperatures handy. Every nutrition note links to its public source (FDA, USDA, NIH, American Heart Association) on the Sources & references screen.

SHARE WITH YOUR CIRCLE
Add friends by scanning a QR code, see what your circle is cooking, share recipes and shopping lists, and post from your garden. Browse a directory of local growers, farms, and markets near you when you'd rather buy fresh and close to home.

WORKS WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
The app is fully usable offline and signed out, since everything lives on your device first. Sign in only if you want your pantry, recipes, and lists synced across your devices.

SUBSCRIPTION PLANS
The core app is free to use. Optional plans unlock more: Essentials adds curated collections and personal cookbooks, Plus adds allergen and dietary-focus badges plus the AI Nutrition Coach, and Premium adds AI auto meal planning. Subscriptions renew monthly and you can cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

Always seek the advice of a doctor or other qualified health professional, in addition to using this app, before making any medical or dietary decisions.
