The Problem

Cooking shouldn't be this hard

Home cooking is supposed to be joyful. Instead, most of us are fighting against our own disorganisation every single day.

Recipe Fragmentation

Your recipes are scattered across Instagram saves, browser bookmarks, Pinterest boards, WhatsApp messages, and sticky notes. When you want to cook, you can't find anything.

73% of home cooks say they lose more recipes than they use.

Decision Fatigue

It's 6pm. You're standing at the fridge, staring blankly. You have ingredients, you have recipes saved somewhere — but connecting the two takes longer than just ordering takeaway.

"What's for dinner?" is the most stressful question in the home.

Adaptation Friction

You're halfway through a recipe when you realise you're out of an ingredient, or you're cooking for 6 not 4. Adapting on the fly — scaling, substituting, modifying — is harder than it should be.

60% of cooks regularly improvise, with no way to track changes.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Five core pillars, each solving a real problem home cooks face every day.

  • Warm AI explanations for each suggestion
  • 3 queries/day free · unlimited with Premium
Cook from what you already have
Cooking Companion

Your sous-chef during every session

  • Hands-free cooking mode with wake lock
  • 20 messages per cooking session

Who it's for

Which cook are you?

Sofra is built for real home cooks — not professional chefs. If any of these sounds like you, you're exactly who we built this for.

The Collector

Saves everything, cooks from nothing

You screenshot recipes, bookmark food blogs, and save Instagram Reels — but your saved folders are a graveyard. When it's time to cook, you can't find what you saved last week. Sofra brings your entire collection into one organised, searchable library you'll actually use.

  • Import from any URL in seconds
  • Automatic tagging: cuisine, meal type, dietary flags
  • Search, filter, and sort your whole library
  • Your recipes sync across devices

The Improviser

Adapts recipes, loses the changes

You never follow a recipe exactly. You scale for the number of guests, swap ingredients you don't have, simplify steps for a weeknight. But your improvisations live in your head — next time you make the dish, you've forgotten what you changed. Sofra tracks every modification as a named version you can return to.

  • Apply natural language modifications to any recipe
  • Full version history — never lose an improvement
  • AI substitutions ranked by culinary fit
  • 3 modifications/month free · unlimited Premium

The Pragmatist

Needs dinner on the table, now

You don't have time to scroll through 47 saved recipes checking if you have the ingredients. You need an answer: "what can I cook with what's in my fridge right now?" Sofra matches your pantry against your entire recipe library and gives you ranked results in seconds.

  • "What Can I Cook?" — ranked by pantry match
  • One-tap shopping list for missing ingredients
  • Step-by-step cooking mode with built-in timers
  • Screen stays awake — no more tapping mid-cook
