Your home's
new bestie.
The proactive home companion for Apple-centric smart homes — on iPad, by message, and by voice.
Why Klaus exists
Smart homes got connected.
They still don't feel smart.
Too many apps. Too many isolated automations. Too little household context. Klaus is the layer that ties it all together — proactively.
From the founder
Hi — I'm building Klaus because my own smart home still feels dumb. Apps that don't talk to each other. Routines that fire at the wrong time. No sense of who's home or what's happening. I'm starting with a small cohort of households so we can shape this together. If you're tired of juggling 5 apps, I'd love to hear from you.

What Klaus does today
Morning briefing
Weather, rain alerts, calendar, and household state — surfaced in one moment, not five apps.
Presence-aware home
Anyone home? Quiet hours. Away mode. Goodnight. Klaus knows the household state.
Scenes that actually fit
Dinner mode, movie mode, wake-up — tuned to your devices and your routines, not generic templates.
Available everywhere
iPad dashboard, Messages, voice. No app to dig through — Klaus is just there.
Local deals, language practice, and family help arrive after launch.
How Klaus works
Three steps to a smarter home.
Klaus connects to your home
Lights, speakers, locks, sensors — Klaus integrates with your existing smart devices and learns your setup.
Klaus stays available everywhere
On your home iPad, in messages, and by voice. No app to dig through — just ask.
Klaus helps proactively
It surfaces reminders, deals, updates, and routines at the right time — not just when you remember to ask.
Your morning, in one moment
Morning, Alex ☀️ Here's your day:
One question. Everything you need to start your day.
Talk to Klaus like a friend
Klaus is designed to be used naturally — by message, by voice, or from the home dashboard.
Things you can say to Klaus
The bigger bet
The next interface
