savori is a social cooking app with emphasis on reducing food waste. In your shared household you manage everything around food: recipes, meal plan and ingredients. In the social part of the app you share what you cook and see what others have been cooking.

We’ve all heard we should reduce our food waste but often times our day gets in the way. We overbuy, we forget and ultimately have to throw out food. That’s why I built savori. savori tracks what ingredients you have at home and puts them dead center. It’s like a shopping list but the other way around: it’s an un-shopping list. But it’s more than that! Your household is shared with all members of your household. This way all members of your household are always aware what’s in your fridge - even on the go (while shopping). You share a common meal plan, that everbody contributes to and all your recipes are shared as well (bookmarked ones and custom ones). The social part of the app is where you share what you cook to inspire others and be inspired by others. Whether it’s from an existing recipe or it’s something you improvised, sharing what you made lets you mark ingredients as used up, which keeps your pantry up to date and saves your favorite creations for later! Win-win! Sometimes, we are stuck with an ingredient left over from some other recipe and have no idea what to do with it. For these situations, savori’s smart recipe search has got your back. Not only does it find recipes based on specific ingredients, it also takes all your other ingredients into account. Best case it finds you a recipe you’ve got all ingredients for! savori is live in the English and German speaking app stores. I’m a solo developer/entrepreneur, however, I had some help with the branding, design and communication by the very talented Saskia Schmidt and Christian Perner from Studio TipTop and Katharina Zimmermann from Kommunikatzion. As far as monetization goes, savori is currently completely free and ad free. I would like to keep it ad free if possible, however, I could imagine partnering with food brands and cookbook publishers at some point. As a first step, I would like to introduce voluntary subscriptions, though. I’ve built savori with an MVP mindset, so please understand that not everything is working as it should at some point. But this is where you come in. I would love to hear from you how savori fits into your life (or doesn’t! please be honest!). The main hypotheses I am trying to validate currently are, whether users are willing to keep their pantry up to date, whether they are entering their recipes and fill their meal plan, and finally whether the social part is able to tie all that together to make it sticky. So please let me know what you think!

@otim The voluntary subscription model sounds like a great way to support Savori's growth while keeping the app ad-free. Count me in! I appreciate the dedication to user experience and I'm excited to see what the future holds for Savori.

Wow, savori sounds like a game changer for food waste reduction! 🌽🥦🍅🥕🍎🍞 The shared household feature is especially intriguing - no more mystery ingredients hiding in the back of the fridge! And the smart recipe search is genius - I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck with a random ingredient and no clue what to make with it. 🤔 I love that the app also encourages social sharing of recipes and creations - food always tastes better when it's shared! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🍴 I'm excited to give savori a try and see how it fits into my cooking routine. One question - how does savori handle ingredient substitutions or dietary restrictions? 🤔🍽️

@shivani_shendkar thank you very much for your kind words of support, Shivani! Dietary preference can be set in the profile settings and it will be considered in the recipe search. Allergies are not yet supported though. Possible substitutions are suggested sometimes, let's say if you have white onions and the recipe asks for red onions. However, the data is not very complete here. I hope I can add better support for allergies and substitute ingredients soonish, I have to carefully pick my battles though I'm afraid :D

💡 Bright idea
Kudos to the solo developer/entrepreneur behind Savori for creating such a useful tool. The smart recipe search feature sounds like a game-changer when it comes to making use of those random leftover ingredients. I'm excited to see how Savori evolves!

That's a nice idea. Congrats on the launch @otim!

@hai_ta1 thank you Hai Ta! Excited for your launch as well!
Haven't heard about such an idea before, making cooking fun and easier. I'm just wondering, you mentioned keeping the inventory up to date, should that be done manually by entering the products detail in the app?
Tim Oberhauser
Maker
@nithincp yes and no :) ingredients can be added manually or by using the smart recipe search. during the search, the app asks some y/n questions like "do you still have onions at home?". this will keep your pantry up to date as well. as far as removing ingredients goes, this is where posting your "makes" comes in. after posting you will be asked: "did you use up your onions?" which will clear them from your inventory. I realize that entereing everything may be too tedious for many (including me), so I would encourage to start with the fresh things and add everything else over time. does this make sense to you?

Hello! Contracts on the launch, it's really great idea with positive impact on environment. I am in love with it! Good luck, keep going! One question: do you have any plan of monetization?
Tim Oberhauser

@vio_vio1 thank you so much! It really means a lot! <3 As far as monetization goes, as a first step I would like to add voluntary contributions/subscriptions. I would really love to keep the app free and ad free. However, I could imagine doing partnerships.
