OH, a potato!

OH, a potato! is a meal planning app designed to reduce household food waste. Instead of starting with recipes and building shopping lists around them, it starts with what is already in the user's fridge and pantry, suggests meals based on those ingredients, optimises leftovers, and learns from cooking and shopping habits over time. The page describes fridge and receipt scanning, real-time spoilage warnings and rescue options, recipe suggestions based on ingredients at risk, seasonality and leftovers, shared planning for a household, and a personal dashboard showing money and CO₂ saved. The page states it is available to try for free on iOS and that it has 30,000+ households using it, having rescued over 580,000 ingredients.
