About Kepthouse — Built by Mark Andrews

Why I built Kepthouse

I moved house and within six months I had missed a boiler service, let a warranty expire on a brand new washing machine, and could not find the number for the plumber who fixed the kitchen tap. I had receipts in a kitchen drawer, reminders scattered across three calendar apps, and tradesperson contacts saved as "Dave 2" in my phone.

I looked for an app that could track all of it in one place — tasks, warranties, subscriptions, vehicle dates, contacts — and could not find one that did it properly. Most were either too simple (just a task list) or too complicated (enterprise property management). So I built one.

Built with beta testers

Kepthouse was shaped by real homeowners from day one. I opened a closed beta on Google Play and recruited testers through personal contacts, Reddit, and a paid testing service. Over three weeks, testers submitted feature requests, reported bugs, and told me what actually mattered to them.

A tester asked for Google Calendar import — so I built a full import wizard with smart type detection. Another said "saving a tradesperson's number is one thing, but knowing whether they were any good is the bit that always falls through the cracks" — so I built per-visit star ratings. Someone else wanted to track their cat's vet visits and vaccination dates — so I added pet management. Every major feature in Kepthouse came from someone who actually needed it.

I shipped 15 updates during the beta period, each driven by real feedback. Kepthouse is not a theoretical product — it is built for the way people actually manage their homes.

What Kepthouse tracks

Maintenance tasks, warranties, subscriptions, appliances, vehicles, pets, properties, projects, and service contacts. A calendar view shows everything colour-coded on one screen. OCR receipt scanning auto-fills warranty details from a photo. Google Drive backup keeps your data safe. And tradesperson ratings help you remember who was good — and who was not.
