Stop Juggling Five Apps to Manage One Home

The problem everyone ignores

Think about how you currently manage your home. Not the fun stuff — the boring, essential admin that keeps the roof over your head in good shape.

If you're like most people, it looks something like this:

• Maintenance tasks live in your phone's reminders app, or maybe a calendar event you set once and forgot about.
• Warranties are buried in email inboxes, junk drawers, or that one photo you took of a receipt two years ago.
• Subscriptions are tracked in a spreadsheet — if they're tracked at all. Most people only discover a renewal when the charge hits their bank account.
• Appliance details like model numbers, serial numbers, and purchase dates? Gone. Lost in the void of "I'll remember that."
• Tradesperson contacts are scattered across text messages, Google searches, and that one friend who "knows a guy."

Sound familiar?

None of this is anyone's fault. There just hasn't been a good single place to keep it all. So you improvise. You spread your home admin across five different apps, three different drawers, and your own memory — which, let's be honest, has better things to worry about.

What it actually costs you

The thing about home admin is that it doesn't hurt until it does. And when it does, it really hurts:

• A missed warranty claim on a £400 dishwasher because you didn't know it expired last month.
• An emergency boiler repair in December because the annual service slipped your mind.
• A subscription renewal you didn't want, charged at a higher rate because you missed the cancellation window.
• Scrambling for a plumber at 10pm because the one you used before — the good one — is a number you can't find.

Each of these is a solvable problem. Not with five apps. With one.

Why we built Kepthouse

Kepthouse exists because we got tired of the same cycle. Set a reminder. Forget to check it. Lose a receipt. Miss a deadline. Repeat.

The idea is simple: one app for everything about your home. Tasks, warranties, subscriptions, appliances, and service contacts — all in one place, with reminders that actually work because they're tied to the things they're reminding you about.

• Maintenance tasks with recurring schedules, priorities, and configurable reminders. Set it once, and Kepthouse nudges you before things are due — not after.
• Warranties with expiry tracking, status badges, and receipt scanning. You'll know months in advance when a warranty is about to lapse.
• Subscriptions with monthly and yearly cost totals, billing cycle tracking, and renewal reminders. No more surprise charges.
• Appliances with brand, model, serial number, location, and linked warranties. Everything you need when something breaks or needs servicing.
• Service contacts with ratings, service types, and the ability to link them to the jobs they do. Next time you need that plumber, you'll find them in seconds.

And because everything is connected through linked items, you can jump from a warranty to the appliance it covers, or from a task to the contact who does the work. No more switching between apps and trying to piece things together.

Your data, your device

We built Kepthouse with a strong opinion on privacy: your home data stays on your device. No accounts required. No analytics. No tracking. No ads.

If you want a backup, you can use Google Drive — but it's entirely optional, and the backup goes to your Drive account in a private, app-specific folder that even we can't access.

In a world where every app wants your data, Kepthouse doesn't even look at it.

Built with the community, not just for it

We're not building Kepthouse in a vacuum. The app is shaped by real feedback from real homeowners who deal with this stuff every day.

The community over at r/kepthouse is where feature requests are discussed, priorities are debated, and the roadmap takes shape. Popular requests get built. Every suggestion is read.

Is there something you wish Kepthouse did that it doesn't yet? We want to hear about it. The whole point is to build the app that actually solves the problem — not the one we think solves the problem. If we're missing something, tell us and we'll work on integrating it.

Some of the features already in the pipeline — like vehicle and asset tracking — came directly from community suggestions. That's how this works.

Try it

Kepthouse is free, with 15 items included and every feature unlocked. No sign-up, no credit card, no catch. Just download it and start adding the things you keep meaning to organise.

Your future self — the one who doesn't panic when the boiler breaks in January — will thank you.
