build meal plans faster and cheaper.

Save Thyme scans recipes, compares ingredient overlap across your meal plan, and helps you choose combinations that minimize what you need to buy.

most recipes are designed in isolation. your meal plan shouldn't be.

> how_it_works

one meal plan. fewer unique items.

Save Thyme does more than match recipes to a pantry. It compares recipes against each other, helping your meal plan reuse ingredients instead of creating a bloated shopping list.

01 / scan

scan recipe pages

Save ingredients from recipes you find online without manually copying everything into a meal planner.

02 / overlap

find shared ingredients

As you add recipes, Save Thyme identifies ingredients that overlap across the meal plan.

03 / optimize

tighten the grocery list

More overlap means fewer unique ingredients, lower cost, less waste, and a faster shopping trip.

> ingredient_overlap

watch the shopping list shrink.

Using a real generated meal plan, Save Thyme detects ingredient overlap between Chicken Nachos, Peruvian-Style Roast Chicken, and Chicken with Tomatillos + Apples.

The result is not just recipe matching. It is meal-plan optimization: fewer unique items, more reuse, less waste.
