An international food waste reduction app that has been helping fight the climate crisis and bring down household food bills for the past two years is now helping families reduce their food waste and save money during the COVID-19 crisis. Based in Sofia, Bulgaria, the CozZo app incorporates shopping lists, refrigerator and pantry inventories, and recipes to help users track the items they have at home and reduce food waste by buying only what they need.
CozZo was born out of a personal pain point. For years, the app’s founder, software developer Ivo Dimitrov, tried to organize his own family kitchen in a systematic way. Dimitrov went from introducing fridge boards to sticky notes to voice call coordination to shopping list messages to family members to finally trying out available mobile apps. But nothing really worked, so he undertook in-depth research on kitchen management.
The first version of CozZo was released in May 2017 on the UK app store. Version 3.0 was released in November and now is available for iOS devices in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
