It's 5pm. You have no plan. Solved.
The 5pm panic is real. You open the fridge, stare for a while, close it, open it again. Nothing's changed. Dinner SOS skips all of that. One tap and Shelfie looks at what you actually have — prioritizing what's about to expire — and hands you one recipe you can make right now. Not a list of 47 options. One answer. Dinner decided in 10 seconds.
5pm panic?
Solved.
Tap 'Dinner SOS' when you're staring at the fridge with no ideas. Get one perfect recipe using what you actually have.

How does Dinner SOS pick which recipe to suggest?
It prioritizes three things: ingredients expiring soonest, your cooking time available (it considers time of day), and your past preferences. If your avocados expire tomorrow, you're getting guacamole — not a suggestion to use the canned beans that last another year.
What if I don't like the suggestion?
Tap 'skip' for another option. Shelfie will suggest something else from your current ingredients. But the whole point is reducing decision fatigue — one good answer beats scrolling through recipes for 20 minutes.
Can Dinner SOS account for dietary restrictions?
Yes. Set your dietary profile once (vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, allergies) and Dinner SOS only suggests recipes that fit. It also respects household preferences — if one family member is vegetarian, it won't suggest chicken stir-fry.
Does it work if I only have a few random ingredients?
That's when it works best. "Half an onion, some pasta, and eggs" becomes Carbonara. Dinner SOS is designed for the half-empty fridge, not the fully-stocked one.
How is this different from searching recipes by ingredient?
Recipe search gives you 200 results and half require ingredients you don't have. Dinner SOS gives you one recipe you can definitely make tonight, with zero missing items. It's a decision, not a list.
