The private home operating log

Your house's health record.

Every filter size, paint color, appliance, install date, and service visit — in one private log on your device. Plus a warm seasonal coach that knows what your house needs this month, and tells you honestly when a job is DIY and when it's a pro's.

No cloud. Your home's record stays in your home.

A homeowner logging a home task on their phone at the kitchen table

The junk drawer, retired.

“When did we last service the furnace?” “What's the hallway paint?” “Is that noise a call-a-pro noise?” — scattered across email, drawers, and memory. HouseHum keeps it in one calm place.

The record

Log each system and room once — HVAC, water heater, roof, appliances, paint colors — with install dates and the specs you always need at the store (16x25x1, anyone?).

The rhythm

A month-by-month checklist tuned to your climate, your heating, and your home's age. Five gentle items a month — never a guilt list.

The log

Every service visit, repair, and DIY fix with notes and costs. Your hum score rises as the record fills — it only ever counts up.

The record, portable

Download your whole record as JSON anytime, free. Home Record adds the printable insurance-and-resale pack — the document your adjuster or future buyer wishes every owner kept.

  3. 3

    Log your first system

    A furnace, a water heater, or just the hallway paint code. The record begins, and the hum starts.

A coach that shows its sources

The HouseHum coach answers from a graded evidence base — EPA, DOE, ENERGY STAR, NFPA, CPSC, InterNACHI, and manufacturer-typical guidance labeled as exactly that. Every answer names its source and grade. And it knows its boundaries: gas, electrical panels, structural work, and roofs get one answer — call a licensed pro.

Evidence-informed, not professional advice. HouseHum never replaces a licensed contractor, inspector, or engineer.

Private by design

Your home's record lives in your browser's storage on your device — not on our servers. No account. Export it as JSON or a printable home record anytime; delete it anytime. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a question you choose to send to the optional AI coach.

Kept private on this device

Why I built this

I could never remember the furnace filter size. Or when we last had anything serviced. Every trip to the hardware store started with me standing in the aisle, texting my wife, guessing at "16-by-something." The paint code for the hallway lived on a scrap of paper that's long gone.

So I built the thing I wanted: one calm, private place that just remembers the house for me — and nudges me, gently, five small things a month, tuned to our old home and our winters. No account, no cloud, nothing sold. It lives on my phone, and now it can live on yours.

Honest pricing

Fair questions

Where does my home's data live?

In your browser's storage, on your device. There's no account and no cloud database. Export everything as JSON or delete it any time. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a question you choose to send to the optional AI coach — along with the home details that make the answer useful, used only to answer you.

What's actually free?

The record for up to 8 systems and rooms, the climate-tuned monthly checklist, the service log, the on-device evidence coach, the hum score, and JSON export. Free means free — no account, no card, no ads, no data sale.

Is this professional advice?

No. HouseHum offers evidence-informed home upkeep guidance drawn from named public sources — EPA, DOE, NFPA, CPSC and more — with every card graded for strength. Gas, electrical panels, structural work, and roofs always get the same answer: call a licensed pro.

What if I clear my browser or switch devices?

Because your record lives on your device, clearing this site's data erases it — that's the privacy trade, stated plainly. Download a JSON copy from Settings whenever you want a backup. Cross-device sync isn't in this beta.

Can I cancel a paid plan? Refunds?

Home Record ($29/yr) is billed through Stripe and cancel-anytime; access runs through the period you've paid for — see the Terms. AI House Coach is planned, but it is not on sale yet while live coach entitlement is finished.

Hear your house hum.
