LeftoverLab

LeftoverLab is a mobile + web AI recipe app that focuses on one unglamorous problem: using what you already cooked before it goes bad. You log leftovers in plain language (e.g., “2 cups cooked rice, half rotisserie chicken, wilted spinach”) or by snapping a photo, and the app generates 3–5 realistic recipes that match your time, tools, and skill level. It prioritizes minimal extra ingredients and shows a “buy nothing / buy 3 items” toggle. Each recipe includes exact steps, reheating guidance, and food-safety time limits (fridge/freezer). It also learns your household’s repeatable “fallback meals” and builds a weekly leftover plan after you cook once. This is not a glossy discovery feed; it’s a utility that reduces waste and decision fatigue. Monetization: freemium with a $4–$7/month plan for multi-household profiles, advanced planning, and grocery integrations.
