The operations manual for your household.
HomeHQ keeps everything about running a home in one place: the people you pay, the house itself, the family, and your home network. It reminds you before things are due and prints the binders you'd otherwise never get around to making. Your data stays on your computer, not in someone else's cloud.
- One-time price
- Full source code
- Your data stays home
One place for everything at home
Built for families running a busy household, especially if you employ a nanny or housekeeper, own a home with systems to maintain, and want one organized, private record of it all.
People
The people you pay: nannies, sitters and housekeepers.
- Schedules, timesheets and pay runs with overtime
- Overtime rules for all 50 states plus DC. You review and approve your state's rules before they're used.
- Hourly, salary and per-visit pay
- Paid time off and sick time balances, paid holidays
- Reimbursements with receipts, including mileage
- Year-end pay totals
- A printable employment agreement filled in from the job details
- Optional sign-in for the nanny or sitter: they log their own hours and see their schedule, pay stubs and the babysitter sheet, and nothing else
* HomeHQ tracks pay. It doesn't administer payroll, calculate taxes, or give tax or legal advice.
Home
The house itself and everything in it.
- Inventory of every appliance and system, with photos, receipts, manuals, serial numbers and warranties
- Recurring maintenance that schedules itself, plus a seasonal plan (spring, summer, fall, winter) built from what you own
- Repair and service history with contractor costs
- Vehicles: registration, inspection, and service by mileage or date
- Renovation projects with quotes, budgets, permits and before-and-after photos
- Home and auto insurance, plus utility and service accounts
- Home facts: shutoff locations, filter sizes, paint colors, door codes (encrypted)
- A printable house manual
Family
Health, school, trips and everything in between.
- Health: visits, medications, allergies, vaccines, insurance cards
- Height and weight charts
- Pets
- Activities and school days off
- Chores and allowance
- Meal plans, recipes and a grocery list
- Trips with packing lists and a passport-expiry check
- Gift ideas and birthdays
- Milestones with photos
- Passports and IDs with expiry reminders; numbers are stored encrypted
- A printable babysitter sheet
IT
Your home network, documented.
- Networks and Wi-Fi
- Address ranges set aside for kinds of devices, with the next free address in each
- Every device's IP and MAC address
- Warnings for address conflicts
- Logins with encrypted passwords
- Port forwards
- A printable network sheet
Already keep it in a spreadsheet?
Hand your coding agent the spreadsheet or document you already keep, like a maintenance log or the nanny's timesheet, and ask it to fill HomeHQ in for you.
Across everything
The parts that tie all four areas together.
One dashboard
A single dashboard and a "This week" view across all four areas.
Search everything
Search across every record, from a warranty to a vaccine date.
Reminders
HomeHQ reminds you before things are due, by phone push or email.
Calendar feed
Subscribe from Apple Calendar, Outlook or Google.
Works on your phone
Add it to your home screen, snap photos and add things quickly.
Binders, printed
The house manual, babysitter sheet, network sheet and employment agreement you would otherwise never get around to making.
Ask your house a question.
Optional AI questions with Ask
Ask things like “What have we spent on HVAC in the last three years?” Ask needs your own Anthropic API key, and it never sees passwords, codes or ID numbers.
Works with MyFi
If you also use MyFi, HomeHQ can match payments to the nanny with your actual bank transactions.
Customize HomeHQ with your own coding agent
You get every line of code, so you're never stuck with how it ships. Point a coding agent like Claude Code or Codex at the folder and describe what you want in plain English. No coding experience needed.
Private by design
A household record holds a lot of sensitive details. HomeHQ keeps them with you.
Self-hosted
Runs on your own computer, with your data in one file you control.
Nightly backups
Encrypted backups run every night.
Encrypted where it counts
ID, account and policy numbers and passwords are encrypted inside the database.
Nothing leaves
Nothing is sent anywhere unless you turn on email reminders or Ask.
