Plant-based eaters know the drill: a recipe app surfaces a “vegan” tab with thin pickings, a calorie tracker’s database is full of meat entries, and protein is a constant background worry. Most apps were built meat-first and bolted plant-based on later.
Swoodie flips that. Set your diet once and the recipe library, Chef AI generation, and Discover Mode all respect it. The AI photo scan reads plant-based plates accurately, and the daily dashboard makes protein easy to watch — no spreadsheet, no guessing.
Pain points Swoodie addresses
- Recipe apps with a thin “vegan” tab and the same ten dishes
- Calorie databases dominated by meat entries you have to scroll past
- Protein worry — am I actually getting enough on a plant-based diet?
- AI recipe tools that suggest chicken no matter how you set your filters
- Hidden non-vegan ingredients (gelatin, fish sauce) in “vegetarian” recipes

Diet setting that actually sticks
Set vegan or vegetarian once — the recipe library, Discover Mode, and Chef AI all respect it everywhere.
Blood Sugar Score on every scan
Plant-based plates lean carb-heavier by default, so a scan comes back steady, moderate or spiky — estimated from its carbs and fibre — to compare one bowl against another. An estimate and a tracking signal, never a blood-glucose measurement or medical advice. Free.
Coach Ollie’s daily insight
One plain-language observation drawn from what you actually logged — handy when protein is the number you keep having to watch. Free on every plan; deeper pattern-spotting is Premium.
Kitchen Tools — offline and free
Six offline tools: unit, oven and air-fryer converters, a recipe scaler, cook times and safe cooking temperatures. Batch-cooking a pot of dal for the week is exactly the arithmetic the scaler removes. No AI, no account.
Ready-made diet plans
Load the curated 7-day Vegan plan into your planner and tweak it to taste — a balanced plant-based week without piecing it together yourself.
Chef AI generates plant-based recipes
Describe what you have; Chef AI writes a recipe that never reaches for meat or dairy you’ve excluded.
Protein tracking front and centre
The daily dashboard shows protein as a clear number, so a plant-based diet stays balanced without spreadsheets.
Allergen and ingredient flags
Recipes flag hidden non-vegan ingredients so a “vegetarian” dish doesn’t surprise you.
AI photo scan reads plant-based plates
Snap a tofu stir-fry or lentil curry — Swoodie estimates calories and macros without assuming meat.
Text-to-Nutrition
Type a plant-based meal in plain words — ‘tempeh, brown rice and broccoli’ — and get calories, protein, and macros without hunting a database.
