It is 6:40pm, the fridge is full, and there is still nothing to eat. Sously starts from what you already own. Tell it what is in your kitchen — or photograph the shelf — and it comes back with dinners you can make tonight, each one showing what you have and what to grab first. RECIPES FROM YOUR REAL INGREDIENTS Ask for something specific, filter by diet or time, or tap Surprise me. Every idea is scored against your actual kitchen. YOUR KITCHEN, PHOTOGRAPHED Snap a shelf, a fridge, or a grocery receipt. Sously reads the items, quantities and expiry dates. No typing. PLAN THE WEEK, SHOP ONCE Fill the week in one tap, then take a grocery list that skips what you already have and sorts itself by aisle. NOTHING GOES OFF Sously flags what to use first and folds it into the next dinner idea. The food you paid for gets eaten. EVERY RECIPE IN ONE PLACE Import from a link, a social post, or a photo of a cookbook page. Auto-tagged, filed into cookbooks, and cross-checked against your kitchen so you know what you can cook right now. MACROS WITHOUT THE MATH Daily rings, 7-day trends, barcode and photo logging — on a bundled USDA database that works offline. COOK TOGETHER One Pro covers two phones. Pantry, plan and shopping list stay in step in real time. FREE TO START Save unlimited recipes, plan your week, build shopping lists and log your meals — no account, no recipe limit, and your data stays on your device unless you sign in.
