SiNi: Pantry & Meal Planner

Yigit Berktas

About this app

What can I cook tonight? Tap Choose for me and SiNi brings three suggestions from 58,000 recipes in English (170,000 in Turkish). Find recipes using ingredients you already have, plan your weekly meals and turn missing ingredients into a shopping list.

COOK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Mark the ingredients in your pantry and discover recipes that match. Use what is waiting in your kitchen, see what is missing and plan your shopping.

CHOOSE BY SEASON AND CHECK ESTIMATED COSTS
Explore seasonal recipe suggestions. Browse recorded ingredient prices and see estimated costs where available. Prices are based on Istanbul, Türkiye, rather than your local shops.

FIND OPTIONS THAT SUIT YOU
Search recipes by name and filter by time, meat preference, gluten-free, lactose-free, low-glycemic and high-protein options. Save recipes you liked, cooked or do not want to see again.

PLAN MEALS AND SHOPPING
Add recipes to your weekly plan and missing ingredients to your shopping list. Matching ingredients are combined automatically. Add other products, browse by shopping category and mark purchases as you go.

SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY
Keep a shared family shopping list and weekly meal plan. Family members can react to planned recipes and follow changes.

SEND RECIPES AND LISTS
Share recipe ingredients and preparation steps through WhatsApp or your phone’s other sharing apps. Send unpurchased shopping items or your weekly plan as text. Recipients can read the message without installing SiNi.

KEEP YOUR OWN NOTES
Add private recipe notes so you remember what to change next time.

PREPARE AHEAD
See advance-preparation guidance on recipes identified as needing preparation or a long wait. Set a daily dinner reminder to help you plan before the evening rush.

COOK STEP BY STEP
Follow the steps one by one in cooking mode. Start a timer on timed steps; when it ends, SiNi rings, even with the phone locked.

TRY BEFORE CREATING AN ACCOUNT
Try basic suggestions as a guest. Create an account to sync your preferences and lists across devices and use family sharing.

The interface is available in English and Turkish. Some recipe instructions and ingredient text remain in Turkish.

Costs are estimates based on price data compiled for Istanbul, Türkiye. Actual costs vary by location, brand, shop and quantity. Nutrition filters provide preliminary guidance; always check the ingredients and product labels for your dietary needs.

Recipe attribution and open-source licence information are available in the app.
