SoloCook

SoloCook. Dinner, for one.

Cooking apps are built for families. SoloCook isn't.

No "serves 4." No meal-prep for twelve. No recipes that leave you eating the same lasagna for a week. Just dinner, for you, using what's already in your fridge.

Open the app. Tap what you've got. Get the recipes you can actually cook tonight.

THE QUIET CASE AGAINST DELIVERY

The average UK solo dweller spends over £200 a month on takeaway. A decent week of home-cooked meals costs £30. The maths isn't close. SoloCook tracks every meal you cook and tells you, in plain pounds, what you've saved. The counter is hard to ignore.

WHAT'S IN THE APP

• A catalogue of 115,000+ recipes across 33 cuisines — Italian, Indian, Japanese, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, British, Greek, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, French, German, Brazilian, Caribbean, Filipino, Ethiopian, Turkish, Polish, Russian, Portuguese, Swedish, Hungarian, American, Southern US, Cajun, Australian, Hawaiian, and a handful more.

• "What's in my fridge?" search. Tap your ingredients, appliances, and cuisines. Get a ranked list of what you can cook right now. Recipes you're one ingredient short on get flagged, so you know exactly what to pick up on the way home.

• Recipes that scale. Cook for one or cook for two with a single tap — quantities, kcal, and time all adjust.

• A streak counter. The more days in a row you cook, the more the app notices. Skip a day, it's gone. The streak has nothing to do with willpower. It's a mirror.

• Money saved, visibly. Every meal you cook stamps about a takeaway's worth into a running counter on Home. Some people chase the number on purpose. It works.

• Five portrait share cards for Stories. A hero numeral for dishes cooked, a weekly recap grid, a receipt-style "£ saved" breakdown, a first-cook celebration, a streak-on-fire flame. Dark palette, serif type, gold accents. Designed to look like editorial, not UGC.

• Bookmarks. Save recipes you want to come back to. No syncing across devices — they live on the device they were saved on.

QUIET BY DEFAULT

SoloCook runs entirely on your phone. No account. No sign-in. No server watching you. No analytics. No "invite your friends." No push notifications nagging you to come back. If you delete the app, everything goes with it.

Data leaves your device only when you press the system share sheet, and only the data you chose to share.

THE TONE

The copy doesn't chirp at you. It doesn't say "You did it!" — it says "Well, I'll trust you actually cooked it." That might grate. If it does, this app is not for you.
