The app for learning to cook

Starting to cook is mostly about confidence. Recipes assume skills you’re still building, the steps blur together while your hands are covered in flour, and one bad result can put you off for a month.

Swoodie makes the first hundred meals easier. Cooking Mode walks you through one step at a time and can read each step aloud, so you never lose your place. Discover finds dishes you can actually make from what’s in your kitchen, and filters keep things to quick, low-effort recipes while you find your feet.

When you’re ready to plan ahead, build your own week by hand for free — add a few recipes you liked, name the plan, and you’ve got a roadmap instead of a nightly panic.

Pain points Swoodie addresses

• Recipes that assume skills and use unexplained jargon
• Losing your place in the steps mid-cook with messy hands
• Not knowing what to cook first
• Wasting food on attempts that don’t work out
• Guessing at portions, servings, and conversions
