Kühlschrankfridge
A full fridge and nothing to eat
A shelf of random things, no idea how they fit together. Half of it expires before you remember it's there.
StatusExpiring
For anyone cooking far from home
Moved abroad. Opened the fridge. Now what?
You moved to a country where you don't speak the language. The labels are a mystery, the recipes from home need things you can't find, and half an onion is staring back at you. We're building a way to cook what you love and eat well, wherever you've landed.

Small kitchen problems that end in another takeaway.
Moving to a new city or country changes a lot. Cooking is one of the first things to go, and one of the hardest to get back.

Aisles of products in a language you don't read. You leave with the same five things every week because they're safe.

Eating well is guesswork
You care about what goes into your body. Counting calories and balancing meals by hand feels like a second job.

Why we're building this
It started in a German supermarket.
IndiaGermany
When I moved from India to Germany, I didn't speak the language. Every grocery run was a guessing game, things kept going off at the back of my fridge, and "what should I cook tonight?" became the hardest question of the day.
Then I talked to friends who'd moved to Spain, Japan, France and the Netherlands. Same story, every time. Germany was just where I noticed it. So I'm building the thing I wish I'd had on day one, for anyone cooking far from home.
