## What is Servd?

Cooking more than one dish for dinner? Servd builds the plan that gets them all done together.

ONE PLAN, MULTIPLE DISHES
Pick your recipes and a target time, and Servd works backward from there: what to prep first (down to the marinade buried in step 3), what to start when, so everything lands on the table hot at the same time instead of one dish going cold while you finish the next. Tell it what's in your kitchen, like a rice cooker, air fryer or second oven, and the plan uses it. Missing a pan or an appliance halfway through? Tap "Missing a tool?" and the rest of the steps adjust. It's a multi-dish cooking timer that works from your actual recipes.

HOLIDAYS AND DINNER PARTIES
Hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas or dinner for eight? Tell Servd when you want to eat and it tells you when the turkey goes in, what to do while it roasts and when each side starts. With one oven, it never asks for two temperatures at once. The Thanksgiving planner sizes the turkey and scales every recipe for your guests.

PLANS THAT FIT YOUR PACE
Recipe times assume you've done it a hundred times. Servd starts you off with a little extra time on hands-on steps like chopping and searing, then learns how long you really take with every meal you finish, so each plan fits you better than the last.

COOK MODE
Follow along step by step and tick off ingredients as you use them, or switch to a timeline of every dish with a line for the time now. Timers, a dark mode just for the kitchen, and a photo from every cook to remember it by.

NUTRITION ON EVERY RECIPE
See calories and protein per serving on every recipe, plus what a serving actually is. Imported recipes keep their own nutrition facts when they have them. Servd Pro shows the full breakdown: carbs, fat, saturated fat, fibre, sugar and sodium.

IMPORT FROM INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & FACEBOOK
Share a recipe straight from the app you found it in. Servd pulls the ingredients and steps out automatically, no retyping, and credits the creator.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE ELSE
Paste a link, snap a photo of a cookbook page, or paste in text. Servd pulls out the ingredients and steps, with a thumbnail from the source. Recipes in other languages come in translated to English. Moving over from Paprika or Google Docs? Bring the whole collection in one go.

FIND THE RIGHT RECIPE FAST
Search by name or ingredient, and filter by meal, course, cook time, diet, nutrition (high protein, high fibre, low fat), protein, veg, starch or your own tags. Group your list by meal or course. Hold a recipe to select several and tag, share, plan, save as a meal or delete them together.

COOK WITH A SOUS CHEF
Got a second pair of hands? Your sous chef scans a QR code to join from their own phone, and Servd splits the plan between you, each phone showing that cook's steps.

MEAL PREP FOR THE WEEK
Pick your recipes, how many portions of each, and when you want to be done. Servd plans the whole prep session, right down to cooling, portioning and labelling, and tells you how long each dish keeps in the fridge or freezer. Meal prep is free.

SAVE YOUR GO-TO MEALS
Save a combination of dishes and servings once and load it back anytime. Plan meals on a calendar, add them to your phone's calendar, or send a recipe or meal to a friend as a link.

SHOPPING LISTS THAT ORGANIZE THEMSELVES
Pick your recipes for the week and Servd consolidates the ingredients into one list, organized by grocery store section, with duplicates merged. Share the list with whoever's doing the shop, and check something off to add it straight to your pantry, or send it to Reminders.

KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR KITCHEN
Scan your pantry with your camera or a barcode, and keep track of where things are and when they expire.

Servd is free to use, with a set of AI uses that refreshes every month. Servd Pro removes the monthly limits and adds two-phone sous chef mode and the full nutrition breakdown.

*2026-09-15*

This app is exactly what I needed! I always see these recipes online that I like but never make but now I can just import and cook from it and it's really cool how I can make big meals and get everything on the table at once and get a shopping list made for the meal

Very excited to try it for Thanksgiving! Well worth the subscription if you host a lot
