Plan the week.
Cook what you have.
Shop only what you need.

Sously tracks what’s in your kitchen, suggests dinners you can make tonight, and turns a week of meals into a shopping list — minus what you already have. One Pro plan even covers both your phones.

Full-featured free tier · your library stays on your device

What Sously does

Less friction between you and dinner.

No clutter, no recipe-blog life stories, no upsell on every screen — just the kitchen, organized.

Sous Chef

A sous-chef that cooks from your shelves

Ask for a recipe from a photo, a pantry, or a one-line idea. Long-press any ingredient for four real substitutions — with ratios and how each one changes the dish.

  • Recipe variations: vegan, one-pot, less spice, fewer carbs
  • Web-grounded so techniques are real, not invented

Smart Pantry

Stop letting groceries die in the fridge

Track your fridge, pantry, and freezer in one place — with use-soon alerts that flag anything within a few days of expiring, so it gets cooked first. Snap a receipt to fill it in, no typing.

  • Items about to expire jump to the top of your pantry
  • Snap your fridge to mark things back in stock

A weekly planner that does the legwork

Drag recipes into breakfast, lunch, and dinner — or let "Fill the Week" plan around your goals. Save the days that repeat as reusable templates.

A shopping list that skips what you have

Every ingredient from your plan, gathered into one list — minus what is already in your pantry. Keep separate lists for separate stores.

Log a meal with a photo

Snap a finished plate and Sously logs it with macros — no typing, no database hunting. Backed by a bundled USDA database that works offline.

One Pro plan, two phones

Share Sously Pro with one person — pantry, meal plan, and shopping list stay live on both phones, updating in real time as you shop.

Bring your whole library — free

Already on Paprika, RecipeKeeper, Mealie, or Crouton? Import everything in one tap — photos and categories included. No copy-paste, no lock-in.

Nutrition you can actually trust

Real calories, macros, and dietary flags on every recipe and ingredient — grounded in USDA data, no guessing and no connection required.

See every feature, with examples

Your kitchen. Your data.

Sously is local-first — your recipes, pantry, and meal plans live on your device, and the free tier works fully without an account. Cloud sync happens only once you sign in. Sous Chef requests are processed through Google's Firebase with App Check, so your prompts can't be replayed off-device.
