What many people think
The case for knowing
THE FOOD IS ALREADY HOME. THE VALUE IS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.
Forage makes the invisible cost of a crowded, forgotten kitchen easier to see — then gives the household a calm way to do something about it.
Food that never gets its chance
Right now, in a typical kitchen
$1,500–2,900
lost per year by the average family to food that went bad before it was used — USDA to EPA (2025)
2/3
of household food waste happens simply because it wasn't used in time
$3,000–13,000+
saved per year by cooking at home instead of eating out
The expensive default
AMERICANS NOW SPEND MORE EATING OUT THAN ON GROCERIES.
$1.41T dining out vs. $1.10T on food at home in 2025 — first time on record. USDA ERS.
What the choice looks like
It doesn't: $4–$6 per person cooking, vs. $10–$20+ eating out.
Trust you can inspect
PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY POLICY.
Most 'AI-powered' apps mean your data goes to someone else's server. Forage doesn't. The AI that reads your inventory and matches your recipes runs entirely on your own computer — and when your phone or a second computer needs to sync, it happens over a private, encrypted tunnel directly between your own devices, not through a company's cloud. That's not a setting you can turn off or a policy that can change later — it's how the app is built.
AI THAT NEVER LEAVES HOME
Your inventory and the intelligence that reads it stay on your own hardware.
YOUR OWN PRIVATE TUNNEL
Devices sync directly, without turning a company's cloud into the keeper of your kitchen.
The difference is practical
The Forage difference
Without a clear view
Losing track of what you own
$1,500–2,900/yr, gone
With a clear view
Knowing exactly what you own
$3,000–13,000+/yr, saved
