A home maintenance app that keeps every job in view

  • "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.

Today

Swipe when it's done

  • A gentle reminder on the day, at the time you choose
  • Undo, if you swiped by mistake
  • An on-time streak that rewards keeping up

Item details

The right part, every time

Save the make, model and part number once, with a photo of the label. Next time you need a filter, a bulb or an engineer, the details are already in your pocket.

  • Fitted date and age, warranty end date
  • A link to the manual, one tap away
  • Find replacement searches the exact part

Home info

Know where the stopcock is

Note where the stopcock, fuse box and meters are, with a photo. When there's a leak or a power cut, anyone in the house can find them in seconds.

  • Stopcock, fuse box, gas, electric and water meters
  • Photos so there's no guessing
  • Handy for guests, sitters and future owners
Home info: water stopcock under the kitchen sink, fuse box in the cupboard under the stairs, gas and electric meter locations.

  • Costs and notes on any past job
  • Total spent per item
  • A logbook that adds value when you sell

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.
