The story behind the sofra.
Sofra began with one too many weeknights staring at a fridge full of ingredients and a phone full of blog posts.
Recipe apps had become search engines for content marketing. Pantries lived in our heads. The moment a pan was hot, every app on the phone became useless — a rectangle of text you couldn't touch with wet hands.
We chose the name Sofra deliberately. It's a Turkish and Arabic word for the spread of food on a table — the gathering of dishes, ingredients, and people that makes up a meal. One sofra, not fifty scattered browser tabs.
So we built the thing we wanted: one place that imports any recipe, remembers what's in your kitchen, and stands next to you at the hob. No ads. No selling your data. Premium when you're ready.
Sofra is in active development with a planned App Store and Google Play launch in the coming months. The core app is built — recipe import, pantry management, cooking sessions, What Can I Cook?, and AI substitutions are all working. We're in the final polish and testing phase.
The only people we answer to are the cooks who pay for Premium, and we'd like to keep it that way.
