Why Frittu exists
It started with the same problem everyone has on a Wednesday night.
I'd open the fridge, stare at half a broccoli, some leftover chicken, eggs, and a few things I couldn't identify anymore. I'd open a recipe app, browse for 20 minutes, find nothing that matched what I had, and order UberEats.
Every. Single. Week.
The problem wasn't motivation. It was friction.
Recipe apps are built around recipes — beautiful photos, curated collections, trending meals. But they start with the food, not with what you have. That's backwards for most weeknight cooking.
Frittu starts with your fridge. Point your phone, confirm what's there, get recipes that actually use what you have. It sounds simple because it should be simple.
“Not a recipe library. A cook-what-you-have companion.”
Why allergen safety matters here
AI vision isn't perfect. It can misidentify an ingredient, especially in a messy fridge or a sealed package. For most people, that's annoying. For someone with a nut allergy, it could be dangerous.
That's why Frittu has a mandatory confirmation step before every single recipe generation. You always see what AI detected, fix any mistakes, and confirm. Your allergen profile is included in every prompt — not just at setup, but every scan, every time.
Built by one person
Frittu is built in Australia. No VC funding, no growth team, no dark patterns trying to extract more time from you than the app is worth.
The goal is simple: a genuinely useful app that earns a place on your phone because it saves you time and helps you eat better. That's the whole thing.
