A peek, not a launch.   Solari is a meal-planning app coming later this year. Building in the open.
A calmer week

Eat together more.
Stress less.

Solari turns 47 saved Instagram recipes, your family’s actual taste, and the schedule of a real week into a meal plan that’s already 70% right the moment you ask for one. You spend 90 seconds tweaking. The grocery list builds itself.

What we believe

Dinner is not a project.
It’s a small, weekly act of care.

i.

A plan that’s already 70% right.

Solari does the cold start. The hardest, most brain-melting part of the week, staring at a blank planner, is gone before you open the app. You arrive to a draft, not a void.

ii.

Permission to swap things.

Drag any night, swap to a saved recipe, route Sunday’s roast into Wednesday’s lunch. You always win the disagreement. Defaults are starting points, never contracts.

iii.

A grocery list that’s done before you finish.

As you tweak, the list builds itself, organized by aisle, sharable in a tap. You finish reviewing and the week is, quietly, already handled.

The 90-second setup

A 90-second ritual,
once a week.

Ask anytime. Sunday afternoon, Friday lunch, the moment the week comes into focus. Solari drafts the week. You review what fits, swap what doesn’t, and it’s set.

  • i.

    Open the app. The week is already drafted.

    Whenever you’re ready. Sunday afternoon, Friday lunch, a quiet Tuesday. One gentle nudge if you forget.

  • ii.

    You arrive to a draft, not a blank slate.

    Built from your saved recipes, your family’s ratings, and your kid's mushroom moratorium.

  • iii.

    Tweak any night. Or don’t.

    Drag, swap, route a leftover, mark a takeout night. The plan bends to your week, not the other way around.

  • iv.

    The grocery list is already done.

    Aisle-sorted. Quickly remove things you know you already have. Send the rest in text, notes, or your delivery service of choice.

What Solari is, and is not

Five things we’ll always be.
And several we’ll never become.

i.

Calm.

Quiet by default. Minimal notifications. No streaks, no shame copy, no Tuesday morning “don’t forget!”

ii.

Just enough.

We do one thing: Meal Planning. Done with care. Not a chore tracker. Not a calendar. Not a family OS.

iii.

Quietly confident.

The product is the marketing. We don’t shout “AI-powered.” We just deliver a week that worked.

iv.

Earned trust.

We propose, you decide. Every suggestion is accept, reject, or modify. You always win the disagreement.

v.

Quiet connection.

Small acts of intention. Something as simple as a Saturday dessert or the sentimental meatloaf is all it takes to create a special moment and connection. 

From actual moms testing the beta

The kind of recommendation
that arrives over brunch.

“It’s just one less thing to have to worry about. Putting a plan together for a week in two minutes is somehow exciting.”

“This has actually made me cook again.”

A note on the name

Solari has two roots.
One Latin. One Italian.

Latin · solari (verb)

To console.

To soothe, to comfort. The same root as the English word solace. A small relief. The exact feeling of dinner being handled before you sat down to think about it.

Italian · Solari (surname)

Of the sun.

A sunny disposition. From sole. The sun-warmed kitchen, the family at the table, the small Saturday cake on the counter. It's why we plan.

Two ancient words landed on the same shape. Solari is what we’re trying to do, and the moment we’re trying to make. Both, in one name.
Be early

Get on the invite list.

I’m building Solari quietly, with a small group of testers. Drop your email and you’ll be among the first to try it when it’s ready.

Hmm, something went wrong. Try again, or email jeremy@solari.family.
No newsletter. No spam. One email when Solari is ready for you to try.

You’re on the list, thank you.

I’ll send you a note when Solari is ready for you to try. I look forward to taking dinner off your plate!

If anything ever feels off, reply to that email. A real person (me) reads them.

Jeremy
Who’s building this

I’m Jeremy. I’ve lived this problem.

Twenty years in tech. Two kids. Two chaotic parent work schedules and travel. The daily spiral about what's for dinner is a cycle I’ve been stuck in for years, and the apps that promise to fix it tend to add more work than they remove.

So I’m building the one I wished existed. A thing that does its job and gets out of the way. The whole pitch is in the slogan: take dinner off your plate.

If that resonates, get on the invite list. If you have thoughts, I’d love to hear them.
