What Sofra does

A complete meal-management system for the household — planning, tracking, and insight, all built on your family's real food memory.

New in 1.2.1

A fresh Home & smarter planning

Tonight's meal, first

Home opens on your next meal — by time of day — with a photo of your own cooking and who planned it.

Tomorrow, every evening

From mid-afternoon, tomorrow's lunch, dinner and kids' lunchbox are right on Home. Gaps are one tap to fill.

Your own dish photos

Add a photo when logging or from any dish. Dishes without one get their own illustration, chosen from the dish type.

A smart Plan button

It knows what's left: "Plan rest of week · 3 days still open", or "Plan next week" from Friday — and opens on the right week.

Never the same dish twice

"Don't repeat a dish within 7 days" now counts sides and meals you already planned, and dishes you only order out are never suggested.

New-family setup

A four-step checklist gets a new family going: log today's meal in one tap, pick favourites, invite everyone.

Restaurant ratings

Every dish you rate counts, and each restaurant gets your family's own score from those ratings.

Family admins

Give another parent admin rights, or remove someone from the family — a family always keeps at least one admin.

Large text friendly

Layouts adapt to your phone's larger text settings so nothing important gets cut off.

Classic view

Prefer the original dashboard? Switch to Classic view any time in Settings (available for a limited time).

Core

Logging & memory

10-second logging

Autocomplete from your history, smart time-of-day defaults, and quick-picks make logging faster than a whiteboard.

Multi-dish meals

Log a full plate — a main plus sides — or several dishes ordered at a restaurant, in one entry.

Permanent history

Every meal is kept forever, searchable and exportable. Your kitchen finally has a memory.

Dish library

Everything your family cooks, with favourites, cuisine filters, frequency and "not made in a while".

Intelligence

Planning & insights

Auto-plan the week

Generated from your own dishes — draws across your whole library so it stays varied, avoids recent repeats, mixes cuisines, and respects your dine-out limit.

Home vs. outside

See your home-cooked ratio and how it's trending — the pattern most families never measure.

Spending insights

Outside spend, budgets, and a monthly trend, in your own currency.

Forgotten dishes

Surfaces dishes you haven't made in a while, so your back-catalogue never gets lost.

Cuisine variety

A breakdown of how varied your cooking really is, over any range.

Veg & non-veg

Meals are marked veg or non-veg automatically as you type, with your household split — and the kids' lunchbox split — shown in insights.

Shareable stat cards

Turn any insight into a branded image to share with family or on social.

Family

Household & kids

Shared household

Everyone adds and sees meals in real time — one source of truth for the kitchen.

Invite by code

Bring family members in with a simple invite code.

Kids lunchbox planner

Plan school lunchboxes on their own track, generated from the kids' own dishes — no repeats within the week, and a nudge when tomorrow's isn't planned.

Repeat alerts

"Sandwich three days running" — Sofra nudges you to mix up the lunchbox.

Everyday

Restaurants, reminders & comfort

Restaurant tracker

Visits, spend, and last-visit per place — plus the dishes you ordered, each with your star rating.

Daily reminders & streak

A gentle daily "log today's meals" nudge with a logging streak to build the habit. Tap it for tomorrow's menu; the weekly reminder opens a fresh plan, the monthly one your insights — all on-device, no server.

Light & dark

A warm terracotta-and-sage palette in both modes, following your system or your choice.

Global by design

Any cuisine, any currency, any family — culturally warm without being narrow.

New

Groceries, recipes & sharing

Shared grocery list

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

Ingredients on every dish

Each dish keeps its own staples. A growing global catalogue ships them pre-filled, and they feed straight into your grocery list.

Recipes where you cook

Attach a YouTube video, a link, or your own "how I make it" steps to any dish — and open it in a tap from the meal card.

Ten-second shortcuts

Cook a recent dish again, let Sofra decide tonight's dinner, or log leftovers — each a single tap, and none of it slows down logging.

Share your dishes

Send another family your whole dish collection with a code — they choose what to import. Recipes and ingredients come along; your meals, ratings, and spending never do.

Starter dishes

New households get cooking fast with a curated, editable pick-list drawn from a global catalogue spanning dozens of cuisines.

Benefits, in a sentence

Less "what's for dinner?", less takeout you didn't mean to buy, less repetition your family is tired of — and a permanent, shareable memory of the food that makes your home yours.
