Software for how
we eat.
Tools for meal planning, grocery data, and the everyday business of feeding people. Built deliberately — quality over speed, architecture before surface.

Two products under one roof. One for households thinking about dinner. One for the developers who supply them with data.
Consumer app
Meal planning that
thinks ahead for you.
For households that don't want to think about "what's for dinner" ever again. Plan the week's meals once and Happklaar suggests what to cook — sized to how many people are eating, when you'd like to cook ahead, and where the leftovers will live (fridge or freezer).
Data engine & API
A canonical model
for grocery products.
Forager scrapes and unifies grocery listings from major Dutch supermarkets — AH, Plus, Lidl, Aldi — plus Tesco UK and Walmart US. Each product is enriched against OpenFoodFacts, USDA FoodData Central, and the GS1 / EAN registry.
The result: a clean, time-aware Ingredient → Product → Offer graph with full price history.
Happs is a one-person food-tech studio in the Netherlands. The work is software for the everyday business of eating — planning meals, sourcing ingredients, understanding what's actually on the shelf this week.
The way we build is the point. Quality before speed. Architecture before surface. Products are sized to be held in one head and designed to outlast their first version. There are no quarterly roadmaps to perform; there is a problem worth solving and the patience to solve it properly.
Where it's useful, the underlying data and infrastructure are offered to others — a clean API for grocery data, a typed contract for canonical products, an open seam for whatever comes next.
