Scan your receipt.
Know what to cook.
Scan your grocery receipt after you shop. Saucepan reads it on your phone, remembers what you bought, and shows which of your saved recipes you can cook tonight.
- Tap any row you don’t want, then tap Done.
- Non-food lines, like paper towels, are left out.
Dinner, from what you already have.
Saucepan checks your saved recipes against what you bought and shows what you can cook tonight.
- Use Soon points you to recipes for the spinach you bought five days ago.
- Each result shows what you have and what is missing.
- When Saucepan isn’t sure you still have something, it says “check the drawer” instead of guessing.
Missing one thing? It goes on the list.
Missing items go straight to Groceries. Plan the week and the list merges, sorted by aisle. Check items off and it gets shorter.
- Whoever is at the store sees the same list, when you cook together.
The photo stays on your phone.
Saucepan reads the receipt on your device. If a line is too short to recognize, only the text of that one line may go to our AI service to spell it out. The image, the store and the totals never do.

- Instacart, Amazon Fresh and other grocery orders.
- Spice jars

Questions
Does the receipt photo leave my phone?
No. The text is read on your device. If a line is too short to recognize, such as ORG BBY SPNCH, only the text of that one line may be sent to our AI service to spell it out. The image, the store and the totals are never sent.
What if it gets an item wrong?
Tap a row to remove it before you save. Nothing is added until you tap Done.
Does it work with online orders?
Yes. A screenshot of a grocery order, such as Instacart or Amazon Fresh, reads the same way.
Can it read spice jars or a pantry shelf?
Yes. It reads any printed labels in the photo.
Do I have to scan receipts?
No. You can type or say what you have, and What Can I Make? works from that list too. The scan just saves you the typing.
How often can I ask what I can make?
Free includes 3 a week. Saucepan+ is unlimited.
