Actual Homebook screens. Fictional household. A product we’re actively building.

The everyday details

A home manual that grows with you.

The right cleaner. The spare key. The way you like things done. Make it easier for the people who care for your home to get it right.

Teach your home once.

Add an instruction about a room, an object, or a routine. Review it, confirm it, and keep it close to what it belongs to.

Let your people ask.

Family, cleaners, guests. Choose who can see each instruction, so each person gets the information you’ve shared with them.

Fill the gaps together.

When a detail is missing, a question comes back to you. Your answer is there for the next person, and the next time.

Before you move in

A few useful details.

Who can see my household information?

New notes start private. You choose what to share and with whom. Homebook checks household membership and permissions before returning information or carrying out actions. You can revoke a helper’s access.

Does an AI provider receive my information?

When you enable connected AI services, those providers receive the information needed to answer questions and carry out the features you use. Self-hosting lets you choose your connections; the hosted pilot’s provider setup will be explained before onboarding.

Do helpers need to install anything?

Helpers use their invitation in a browser. They do not need the CLI or model keys. For self-hosted installations on a private Tailscale network, their device also needs access to that network.

Is Homebook open source?

Not yet. Homebook is currently proprietary software. Released CLI and server artifacts are available for self-hosting; no open-source license is granted at this stage.

How do I get hosted access?

Start by contacting us about the pilot. We agree the setup and costs before you join. If you have an agreed Stripe checkout link, review its price and billing interval before paying. We confirm payment and arrange your household setup personally. Payment alone does not create an account. For billing or cancellation help, contact support@usehomebook.com.
