Features

Every feature, with a real example.

Sously is a meal-planning kitchen co-pilot for iPhone and Android that builds recipes from what is already in your pantry.

Here is what each part does — and the actual thing you would do with it.

Sous Chef

A sous-chef that cooks from what you own

Sous Chef builds real recipes from your pantry, a photo, or a single line of text — then adapts them on demand. It is web-grounded, so the techniques it suggests are ones cooks actually use.

  • Snap three vegetables on the counter → get a dinner that uses all of them.
  • Long-press "buttermilk" → four substitutions with ratios and how each changes the result.
  • Tap "make it vegan" or "one-pot" → the recipe rewrites itself.

Smart Pantry

Always know what is in your kitchen

Track the fridge, pantry, and freezer in one place, sorted into categories with expiration warnings before anything is wasted — and fill it without typing.

  • Snap a grocery receipt → items, quantities, and shelf life fill in automatically.
  • Snap inside your fridge → Sously marks what is back in stock.
  • Tap any item → calories, macros, and dietary flags from a bundled USDA database.

Meal Planner

A week of meals, planned in minutes

Drag recipes onto any day and meal. When you would rather not, let Sously fill the week around your goals — and the days that repeat become reusable templates.

  • Drag Sunday’s roast into the planner → leftovers slot into Monday lunch.
  • Ask "Fill the Week, high-protein" → seven days planned around your goal.
  • Save "Weekday Breakfasts" as a template → reuse it with one tap.

Shopping List

A list that already knows your pantry

Every ingredient from your plan, gathered into one list — with anything you already own checked off. Built for the aisle, not just the screen.

  • Build the week → the shopping list assembles itself, minus what is in your pantry.
  • At the store, use the searchable picker to add a staple you forgot.
  • Keep separate lists for separate stores or trips.

Nutrition

Nutrition grounded in real data

A USDA-grounded food database of roughly 2,400 ingredients ships inside the app, so calories, macros, and dietary flags are accurate — and work with no connection.

  • Open any recipe → see per-serving calories and macros at a glance.
  • Check an ingredient → vegan, gluten-free, and other flags are already set.
  • Plan a balanced week → the planner shows how the days add up.

Sync & Household

Sync across devices — share with one person

Sign in to sync your library to the cloud, or share a single Pro plan with a partner — recipes, pantry, and plans stay live on both phones.

  • Sign in on a new phone → recipes, pantry, and plans are already there.
  • Invite a partner with a 6-digit code → edits sync between both of you.
  • Your partner checks off the shopping list → it updates on your phone in real time.

Free to start. The whole kitchen, on one page.

The recipe library, pantry, and planner are free with no account. Add Sously Pro for Sous Chef, recipe images, and cloud sync.
