Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Dash of Luz.

Yes! The Free plan includes up to 25 recipes, 75 pantry items, 20 meal plans per month, 5 AI suggestions per month, and 3 AI recipe scans to get you started. It's free forever with no credit card required.

Snap a photo of a recipe, paste a URL, or type it in — our AI extracts the ingredients, steps, and metadata automatically. Free users get 3 scans to try it out, Plus users get 30 per month, and Family plans get 60 per month.

The Family plan supports up to 6 household members, each with their own login. Your household shares a single recipe collection, pantry, shopping list, and meal calendar — plus shared AI usage limits.

Absolutely. You can add a freeform meal entry to any day — just type a meal name like "Grilled cheese" and optionally add notes, serve time, or a reminder. You can mix freeform meals and recipe-linked meals on the same day.

You'll see a friendly message letting you know you've reached your plan limit. Your existing data is never deleted — you just won't be able to add more until the limit resets next month or you upgrade. Recipe limits are persistent, while AI and meal plan limits reset monthly.

Yes. You can downgrade from Family to Plus, or cancel any paid plan at any time. Changes take effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep full access until then, and your data is never deleted.

Your recipes, pantry, and meal plans are stored securely and never shared with third parties. On the Family plan, recipes, pantry, meal plans, and shopping lists are shared with your household members. Personal settings and billing details remain private. AI processing is handled by Anthropic's Claude — your data is not used to train AI models. Billing is processed through Stripe, and we never store your payment card details.

Dash of Luz is a mobile-first web app that works great on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. No app store download needed. Just open it in your browser and start planning meals.
