KlausKlaus

A kitchen app named after a dog

Half your fridge goes bad in the drawer.

Klaus turns what you already have into tonight's meal — and watches every expiry date so nothing goes bad quietly. Scan your fridge with a photo, your voice, or a quick list.

~$1,500is what the average U.S. household trashes in food every year, per USDA estimates. Most of it just expires, forgotten.

Three promises

What Klaus actually does.

A meal from a photo

Point at your fridge. Klaus reads what's there — quantities included — and answers with recipes that fit what you own, your diet, and your gear.

Nothing expires quietly

Everything you scan lands on a timeline sorted by what goes bad first. One heads-up the day before — with a recipe to rescue it, not just a warning.

See the money you save

Every rescue is counted. A monthly report shows what stayed out of the trash and what it was worth — the habit pays for itself.

How it works

Scan. Watch. Cook.

STEP 1 · SCAN

Tell Klaus what's in the kitchen

A photo of the fridge, a voice note, or a typed list — everything becomes ingredients with estimated expiry, reviewed by you in one pass.

STEP 2 · WATCH

Your kitchen as a timeline

Not a list — a queue. Whatever expires first sits on top, in plain words, and Klaus nudges you before it's too late.
