Sound familiar?
A home is a lot to remember
- "When did we last get the boiler serviced?"It's due every year. Miss it and the warranty can lapse.
- "Which filter does the cooker hood take?"The part number is on a label you can't reach.
- "Where's the stopcock?"Usually asked with water on the floor.
- "Have we tested the smoke alarms this year?"Monthly is recommended. It's easy to lose track.
Homesake remembers all of it. You just do the job.

Why Homesake
Better than a calendar or a spreadsheet
Calendar reminders don't know what a boiler needs. Spreadsheets don't remind you of anything. Homesake was made for exactly this.

Questions
Good to know
When can I get it?
Homesake is coming to the iPhone App Store soon. Join the early access list below and we'll send you one email the day it's out.
How much does it cost?
Homesake is free to download and use. No ads, no subscription.
Do I need to make an account?
No. Open the app, type your name if you'd like a friendly greeting, and either tick what you have or skip straight in.
Is it only for homeowners?
Not at all. Renters can use it for the jobs that are theirs, like filters, alarms and appliances, and keep a dated record of what's been done.
Can my partner or housemates use it?
Homesake works on one shared phone today: add everyone in Settings, assign jobs, and it records who did each one. Syncing between phones isn't available yet.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Homesake is launching on iPhone first.
What happens to my data?
It stays on your phone. We never see it. Your iPhone backup includes it, and you can save your own backup file from Settings at any time.
