Sofra in 30 seconds

Log a meal, plan the week, see where your food really goes — the whole loop, start to finish.

Why Sofra

Not another recipe app

Most meal apps give you new recipes to try. Sofra does the opposite — it gives you back the meals your family already makes and forgets. It's a memory tool, not a discovery tool.

Remember

A permanent meal memory

Every meal you log is remembered forever — searchable, sortable, always yours. Whiteboards erase; Sofra doesn't. And it surfaces the dishes hiding in your back catalogue: "It's been 87 days since Lasagna."

Plan

A week from your own dishes

Auto-generate a week from what your family actually cooks — balanced across cuisines, avoiding recent repeats — then pull every ingredient into a shared grocery list in a tap. A little confetti when you accept it.

Understand

Honest home-vs-outside insights

See your home-cooked ratio and exactly where your food budget goes — the pattern most families never notice. Then turn any insight into a branded card and share it in a tap.

Everything else your kitchen remembers

Veg & non-veg at a glance

Every meal is marked veg or non-veg with the familiar dot — detected automatically as you type — so your household's balance shows up on meals, history, and insights.

Kids lunchbox planner

Plan school lunchboxes on their own track. Sofra won't repeat a lunchbox within the week and nudges you when one shows up three times.

Your own dish photos

Snap the dish you cooked and it shows everywhere — Home, calendar, dish library. No photo yet? Every dish gets its own warm illustration.

Tomorrow, every evening

From mid-afternoon, Home shows tomorrow's lunch, dinner and the kids' lunchbox. Anything still open is one tap to fill.

Plans that never repeat

Choose "don't repeat a dish within 7 days" and Sofra respects it — across sides and meals you already planned. Dishes you only ever order out are never suggested.

Restaurant memory

Rate the dishes you order and each place gets your family's own score — so next time you know what to order, and what to skip.

Family admins

Make another parent an admin, or remove someone who no longer shares your kitchen. A family always keeps at least one admin.

One shared household

Everyone in the family adds and sees meals in real time. A single source of truth for the kitchen.

Grocery list, built from your week

One shared household checklist. Pull in the ingredients for this week's — or next week's — planned dishes in a tap, add anything else by hand, and tick items off as you shop.

Recipes on your dishes

Keep the recipe where it belongs — on the dish. Paste a YouTube video, a link, or type your own "how I make it" steps, and open it in a tap right from the meal card.

Share your dish collection

Send another family your dishes with a single code — they pick what to import. Recipes and ingredients come along; your meals, ratings, and spending never do.

Ten-second shortcuts

"What's for dinner?" answered in one tap — cook a recent dish again, let Sofra decide for you, or log leftovers without inventing a fake meal.

Made to share

Every insight is a share-ready card

Every corner of your family's food story is built to travel — your home-cooked ratio, a spending reveal, a forgotten-dish nudge, a streak. Tap once and any of them becomes a beautiful, branded card you can drop in the family group or post anywhere.

A look inside

Warm, fast, and honest

Four taps a week is all it takes. Here's what that looks like — a terracotta-and-sage design built to feel like a home kitchen, in light and dark mode.

Sofra Home: tonight's dinner with a photo, tomorrow's plan and this month at a glance

Tonight's meal, first

Open Sofra and see what's for dinner — with a photo of your own cooking — and who planned it. Every evening, tomorrow's plan is waiting. This month's numbers sit right below, and the Plan button knows which days are still open.

Logging a meal in Sofra

Logging takes ten seconds

Autocomplete from your own history and smart time-of-day defaults mean a meal goes in with a tap or two. Home, takeout, or dine-out — even a full plate with all the sides.

Sofra's auto-planned week

A week planned from your own dishes

Tap once and Sofra drafts the week from what your family actually cooks — no dish repeats within the days you choose, cuisines mixed, kids' lunchboxes on their own track. Swap anything you like, then send the ingredients straight to your grocery list.

Sofra's honest insights

See where your food really goes

Home vs. outside, spend against budget, your most-loved dishes and the ones you've forgotten. The honest patterns most families never notice — and every one turns into a share-ready card.

FAQ

Good to know

How do I stop cooking the same meals every week?

Log what you eat for a week or two and let Sofra plan. It never repeats a dish within the days you choose (7 by default), and its "haven't made in a while" list brings back favourites you'd forgotten.

How does Sofra plan my week?

It builds the week from dishes your family has actually cooked: it skips anything eaten recently, mixes cuisines, keeps weekend dinners for eating out if you like, and never suggests dishes you only ever order from restaurants.

Can I plan my kids' school lunchboxes?

Yes. Kids lunchboxes have their own track on school days. Sofra plans them from your kids' own dishes, avoids repeats within the week, and reminds you when tomorrow's lunchbox isn't planned.

Does Sofra make a grocery list from my meal plan?

Yes. One tap adds the week's ingredients to a single shared grocery list. Add anything else by hand and tick items off together as you shop.

Can I add photos of my own dishes?

Yes, and it's optional. Add a photo when you log a meal or from any dish, and it appears across the app. Dishes without a photo get their own illustration.

Can more than one person manage our family?

Yes. Admins can make other members admins, or remove someone from the family. A family always keeps at least one admin.

Does Sofra work with large text?

Yes. Sofra adapts its layout when you use your phone's larger text settings, so labels and numbers stay readable instead of getting cut off.

Is Sofra a recipe app?

No — it's a memory tool. Sofra remembers the meals your family already makes and plans from those, instead of pushing new recipes at you.

Which platforms?

iPhone and Android — on the App Store and Google Play. Light and fast, with full light and dark mode.

How do I sign in?

Whatever you prefer: Sign in with Google, Sign in with Apple on iPhone, or a plain email and password.

Does my family share an account?

You share one household. Everyone adds and sees meals together, in sync — a single source of truth for the kitchen.

Can I set a profile photo and name?

Yes. Add a profile photo from your camera or gallery, and edit your display name anytime from your profile.

What does it cost?

Sofra is free to use at launch, with no ads and nothing to buy.

Is my data private?

Your meals stay private to your household, encrypted in transit. You can delete your account and all its data anytime from Settings.

Do I need to plan to use it?

No. Just log meals as you go — the planning and insights build themselves from your own history.

Is Sofra only for Indian families?

Not at all. Sofra works for any family and any cuisine, anywhere — it plans from the dishes you cook, whatever they are. The built-in library spans 1,500+ dishes across the world's cuisines, and you can add your own in seconds.

Do I have to log every single meal?

No. Log as much or as little as you like — logging takes about ten seconds, and the more you add the smarter the plans and insights get. Miss a day? Nothing breaks.

How is this different from a spreadsheet or notes app?

A spreadsheet just stores. Sofra understands — it auto-plans your week, flags forgotten dishes, tracks home-vs-outside spending, and turns it all into share-ready insights. No formulas, no upkeep.

Can I use it on my own?

Yes. A household of one works perfectly — you get the same memory, planning, and insights, just for you.

Is there a catch if it's free?

No catch. No ads, and we never sell your data. Sofra is free to use at launch, and your meals stay private to your household.
