Coming soon
Waft

Dinner, one calm step at a time.

Waft is a calm cooking companion. Zuri reads each step aloud, waits for your word, and keeps the timer.

Coming soon to iPhone and Android.

Your first recipe is free.

The cooking screen at step 1 of 9: the step in large type over the dish’s photograph, with back, repeat and next buttons, and Zuri beneath them to tap and speak.

Your phone is across the counter.

Your hands are in the dough. That’s how cooking should be.

A phone propped at the back of a kitchen counter at night, beyond a pan and a bowl of jeera aloo, showing Waft’s cooking screen: step 1 of 9 in large type, with back, repeat and next buttons.

Your companion at the stove

Meet Zuri.

Zuri cooks every recipe with you in Waft. It keeps your place and never rushes you.

Zuri mid-sentence, the wooden spoon raised as if explaining a step.

It reads each step aloud.

One step at a time, in a calm voice and type you can read from the stove. Then it waits, for as long as the onions need.

Zuri leaning in to listen, both paws on the wooden spoon.

It listens for its name.

Turn on hands-free, and it waits for its name while you cook. Your hands stay in the pan.

Zuri thinking, a paw at its chin and its eyes turned up.

Ask what you’d ask a friend.

“Can I use butter instead?” A short answer about this step, then back to the pan.

Zuri dozing with its eyes closed, hugging the wooden spoon.

It rests while the timer runs.

Go and lay the table. It keeps the count.

Find tonight’s dish.

A recipe library that keeps growing. Choose a diet, and what doesn’t fit steps aside.

Allergen filters hide recipes with what you and your household avoid.

Home in the evening: a greeting, the search box, and the recipe of the day, Chettinad pepper chicken.
Explore with the vegetarian filter on: a grid of dinners, each with its photograph and time.

Everything ready before the pan.

Set the servings, tick off what you have, see what you can swap.

Shakshuka before cooking: its photograph, the time in all, hands on and to yourself, its story and a servings stepper.

Say it, or tap it.

With hands-free on, say “Zuri, next”. Or tap Zuri and say “next”. Every word has a button too, for the days the fan wins.

Hands-free listens only while a recipe is on the cooking screen, never in the background.

  1. “Zuri, next”Add the garlic, cumin and paprika, and stir for half a minute.
  2. “Zuri, next”Pour in the tomatoes, season with salt, and break them up with the spoon.
  3. “Zuri, next”Let the sauce reduce.
See every phrase

With hands-free on, say “Zuri” first. Or tap Zuri to speak, or tap the button.

SayOr tap
“next”, “done”, “ready”Next
“say that again”, “repeat”Repeat
“go back”, “previous step”Back
“how long left”The timer, on the screen
The cooking screen at step 3 of 9, with back, repeat and next buttons beneath the step, and Zuri below them, listening.

The timer keeps time.

Lock the phone, answer the door. It chimes in the kitchen and finds you on the lock screen.

One timer, and it nudges you if you miss it.

The cooking screen with a timer ring counting down above the step, Zuri dozing beneath it, and a skip timer button.
The cook card expanded on the Android lock screen: Shakshuka, step 3 of 9, when the timer ends, a progress bar, and back, it’s done and add a minute buttons.

Dinner’s ready.

A note of what you made, and one idea for another day. Then it lets you go.

Shakshuka, done: a note to let it sit, what it adds per serving, and a choice of I ate this or just cooked.

Your recipes

Every recipe you love, in one calm place.

Bring in the ones you already cook, and keep them together in cookbooks.

Cookbooks

Cookbooks of your own.

Gather the recipes you come back to: weeknights, slow Sundays, the ones from home. Waft’s, the community’s and your own, side by side.

  • Share one with a link that opens it in Waft
  • Make one public, for anyone in Waft to find. Your imports stay private
  • Keep a copy of a cookbook someone sends you

Beyond tonight

The whole week, as calm as tonight.

Planning, shopping and a note of what you ate, done the same unhurried way.

The meal planner: a week strip with every day planned, tonight’s shakshuka cooked, and tomorrow’s dinner planned.

Meal planner

A week, planned in a minute.

Say which meals you want, and Waft proposes a week around your diet, your allergies, the time you have and what you haven’t cooked lately. Swap a dish, keep a favourite, then put the week on the calendar.

  • Breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack
  • Worked out on your phone, from what you eat
  • The whole week, added to the grocery list
The grocery list in shop order under fruit and veg, each line naming its dish, with the carrot ticked off.

Grocery list

One list, in the order you walk the shop.

Add what you don’t have from any recipe in one tap, write in anything else, and send it to whoever’s shopping.

  • Grouped by the sections of the shop
  • Each line names the dish it’s for
  • Hold a line to see what you could get instead
The meal journal for today: 340 kcal over one confirmed entry, an estimated split of protein, carbohydrate and fat, and the day’s shape.

Meal journal

What you ate, not what you cooked.

You confirm what you ate, and the journal keeps it, with what it adds per serving.

  • Nutrition for every recipe in the library
  • Estimated from the ingredients, and labelled so
  • The day’s shape at a glance
Household: two people, their portions and allergies, and the allergies shared by everyone.

Household

For everyone at the table.

Add the people you cook for, with their portions and their allergies.

  • A portion size for each person
  • Allergen filters hide recipes with what you and your household avoid
  • Community recipes

    A free community collection, reviewed before it appears.
