## What is What's for Dinner?

Staring into the fridge wondering, "What should I make tonight?"
Tired of buying groceries you already have, then finding forgotten produce wilting in the crisper drawer two weeks later?

Meet "What's for Dinner - AI Fridge" — fridge tracker, expiry reminder, and personal AI chef in one app. Snap a photo of your groceries, keep tabs on freshness, and let AI turn whatever you have on hand into home-cooked meals in minutes. Save money, cut food waste, and enjoy cooking again!

-----------------------------
Key Features
-----------------------------

【1. Instant Photo Recognition】
Snap or upload a photo and AI recognizes multiple items at once — produce, meat, seafood, eggs, pantry staples, even packaged foods — filling in the name, category, estimated shelf life, and storage tips. Duplicates are flagged, and you can add items by hand, singly or in batches, with your own categories.

【2. Expiry Tracking & Alerts】
See everything sorted into Expired, Within 3 Days, 4-7 Days, 8+ Days, and Frozen, with expired items in red. Set stock levels (Full, Half, One-Third, Almost Gone, Used Up), get push reminders 1 or 3 days before expiry at the times you choose, plus a nudge to update items you haven't touched lately.

【3. Clear-the-Fridge AI Recipes】
Check off what you have and your AI chef writes personalized recipes in seconds:
- Meal Style: Everyday, healthy, high protein, vegetarian, or lacto-ovo vegetarian
- Cook Your Way: Stovetop (gas or induction), air fryer, microwave, or oven
- Heat Level: Five settings from mild to extra spicy
- Speedy Mode: 15-minute weeknight dinners
- Portions: Adults, kids, and little ones entered separately
- Allergy & Dislike Filter: List allergens or foods you hate — the app remembers and leaves them out
- Special Requests: Add a note like "make it a stir-fry" and AI follows your brief
- Full Recipes: Ingredient amounts, timed steps, cook time, a calorie estimate, and an AI-generated preview image

【4. Universal Recipe Book】
Paste a link from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or a food blog and the app saves the title, cover photo, and source — or let AI pull the recipe out of the link or pasted text. Add your own notes and file everything under custom categories.

-----------------------------
Expert Food Storage Tips
-----------------------------
- Leafy Greens: Wrap in a paper towel inside a produce bag to keep lettuce and spinach crisp.
- Meat & Seafood: Portion into freezer bags and freeze flat for quick thawing and juicier results.
- Potatoes & Onions: Keep in a cool, dark pantry, stored apart, so they last longer.
- Fresh Herbs: Stand cilantro or parsley in a jar of water, loosely covered, in the fridge.

-----------------------------
Free vs. Premium
-----------------------------
- Free: 10 photo scans and 10 AI recipes per month, plus 30 saved recipes.
- Premium (first month free): 300 scans and 100 AI recipes per month, up to 2,000 saved recipes, and 100% ad-free.
