It's 4 PM and the question lands again: what's for dinner? SavvyPlate answers it with the food you already own. Tell it what's in your fridge, freezer and pantry — snap a photo of a shelf or add items by hand — and tap What's for Dinner. Every recipe is scored for how well your kitchen covers it, so the meals you can genuinely cook tonight come first. THE COOKABILITY DIAL Each recipe gets a 0-100 score you can actually read: a green arc for how much of it you already have, an amber segment for the ingredients that are about to spoil, and lit pips for each core ingredient in your kitchen. No black box — you can see exactly why a recipe rose to the top. COOK WHAT'S ABOUT TO GO OFF Every item gets an honest days-to-spoil estimate based on how it's stored, and the home board spotlights the one thing most urgently worth using — along with the best recipe that uses it. ALMOST THERE, AND THE LIST THAT SUBTRACTS Recipes you're one or two ingredients away from get their own bucket, and adding the missing bits builds a grocery list that already knows what you own, grouped by aisle in shop order. GUIDED COOK MODE Step-by-step cooking with per-step timers and a serving scaler that rescales the quantities for you. WASTE AND SAVINGS LEDGER A running tally of the food and money you've rescued by cooking things before they spoiled, with an eight-week trend. DIETS AND ALLERGENS RESPECTED EVERYWHERE Set your diet, the allergens you avoid and the foods you dislike once — every recipe surface honours them. SAVVYPLATE PRO (optional subscription) - Unlock the Almost-there bucket and one-tap add-missing - Advanced filters, unlimited photo scans and AI Chef's Hints - Your full waste and savings history - $4.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; the subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings SavvyPlate is a cooking and food-waste tool. Storage-life estimates follow published food-storage guidelines and are estimates, not food-safety, nutritional, dietary or budgeting advice — when in doubt, throw it out.
