Built honestly
A tool for the most surveilled population in America that doesn't surveil them.
SNAP recipients are subject to constant verification, work requirements, asset checks, and fraud audits. The last thing they need is a free tool that quietly harvests their data. Stretch doesn't.
Nothing is collected
Stretch runs entirely in your session. Your inputs, your plan, your receipt — none of it is stored, sold, or shared. No accounts. No emails captured. No analytics SDKs.
No paywalls, ever
There is no premium tier, no in-app purchase, no "unlock the full plan" upsell. Anything Stretch can do, it does for free. SNAP recipients deserve better than yet another product fishing for their payment info.
Open source by design
All code is on GitHub under MIT. You can read it, fork it, run it yourself. The privacy story isn't marketing — it's a property of the codebase. Audit it yourself.
Built on real public data
Prices estimated from the USDA Cost of Food Reports. Nutrition targets from USDA Dietary Guidelines. SNAP-eligibility from the official USDA list. No proprietary data licensing required.
Build a plan
If you know someone on SNAP, send them this. It's free.
Stretch isn't hidden behind a paywall, a signup, or an email capture. The whole point is that it should be the easiest thing in the world to hand to someone.
