For homeowners

A house comes with enough things to remember.

Domicusto keeps them with the house: what it has and how old it is, what is due and when it was last done, who fixed what and what it cost, and the receipt or the manual behind each. Start with one thing worth remembering; the rest can wait until you have it to hand.

Domicusto is in beta. Features and behavior may change. Free during early access, and your records are yours to download at any time.

Your records are not sold, the site carries no advertising trackers, and only the people you share them with see them. How your information is handled

Domicusto's Overview for a demo house, arranged by its owner, with the list of places down the left: the box for saying what happened, with Work it out carrying the AI mark; what is coming up; totals for all-in cost, spending, the loan balance and work done; and recent history.

Sound familiar?

When you'll be glad you kept it.

Nobody keeps a house's details for fun. They keep them for the day somebody asks.

“The furnace is making a new noise, and the repair person asks how old it is.”

Every system, with its age.

Systems keeps the big things and the equipment under each: when it went in, who installed it, its service log, and how its age compares with a typical life for that kind of thing, allowing for its condition and upkeep. Photograph the label and AI fills in the make, model and serial for you to check.

“Nobody can remember when the gutters were last cleaned.”

What's due, and when it was last done.

The upkeep schedule is built from this house: what it has and what you said it is for. Log a job when it's done, with who did it and what it cost, and it comes round again. Put a name on the weekly chores, and subscribe from your own calendar if you want them there too.

“The insurer wants the receipt for the water heater you replaced three years ago.”

The paper, filed with what it's for.

A receipt, a warranty or a manual is kept with the job or the equipment it belongs to, and Search finds it again by what is on the record. AI can read a receipt into an expense and a manual into care tasks, for you to check before anything is saved.

“You're selling, and the buyer's agent asks what's been done to the house.”

The history, ready to hand on.

History keeps the work, the installs, the findings and the papers in date order. A Passport is a printable summary for a buyer, an insurer or a contractor: you choose what is in it and whether costs show, and its dates and figures say where they came from. When the house sells, you can hand the whole record to the next owner's account and keep your own copy.

What it looks like

The house, one system at a time.

Two of the screens you will use most, on the demo house.

Systems

Each system and the equipment under it, with its age against a typical life for that kind of thing, allowing for its condition and upkeep. Typical lives come from published life-expectancy tables and are a starting point: change any of them to match the manufacturer, the installer or your inspector.

Walk through the systems takes you one at a time and says which photo to take, and why.

The Systems page for a demo house, under Property in the list of places down the left: tiles for twelve systems with three assets inside them, six of six ages known, nothing past its typical life and nothing due within two years; the note that typical lives come from published life-expectancy tables; and the roof, architectural shingles installed in 2016, with about fifteen years left, beside the card for the structure and foundation.

Upkeep

The schedule says what's next and when each job was last done. Bins out has a name on it, and the water heater's flush says which page of its manual it came from.

Add to my calendar gives the schedule an address your own calendar can subscribe to, with the warranties and the papers that run out. List for a quote turns the tasks you tick into one job to send to whoever you choose.

The Upkeep page for a demo house, a place of its own in the list down the left: the maintenance schedule with Add a task, Add to my calendar, List for a quote, Who maintains what and Add common chores; a line saying two tasks come up in the next fourteen days; and five tasks, from Bins out, Ellie's weekly chore, to flushing the water heater each year, from section 7, page 14 of its manual, each with when it was last done, when it is next due, Log it and Edit.

What AI can help with

Hand it the paper. You decide what's kept.

Give it a photo, a manual or a sentence, and AI proposes records for you to check. Nothing it proposes becomes part of the record until you have checked it and saved it.

A photo of an equipment label

You give it: A photo of the plate on the furnace, the water heater or the air conditioner, from that equipment on Systems.
It proposes: The make, model and serial, put into that equipment's empty fields. It never writes over what you typed, and it never works an age out of the serial number.
You check: Each one against the plate, then Save.

A manual you upload

You give it: The PDF for the dishwasher, the water heater or the furnace.
It proposes: Care tasks, each with the interval or condition the manual states and the page it came from.
You check: When it finds several, take the full schedule, a simpler one or just the tasks you pick, then save.

A sentence about what happened

You give it: “The kitchen faucet was replaced today by Miller Plumbing, $240,” typed in the box on Overview.
It proposes: An expense, and where it belongs: under a job, in Upkeep or on the equipment, with the vendor if they are new. When it reads as work with no job yet, saving starts one.
You check: The amount, the date and where it is filed, then Save.

A photo of a room

You give it: One wide photo of each room as you walk the house.
It proposes: A list of what it can see, in the box for that room. It does not guess a price, a make or a model.
You check: Correct the list before you move to the next room.

And Ask answers questions from this house's own record and shows the entries it used.

The review: a care task, ticked, Drain and flush the water heater tank, every 12 months, for the gas water heater, where the manual says so: section 7, page 14, with how to do it; Cancel, and Save 1 record.

A review window like the one a manual's reading opens, with a care task made up for the demo. The window is the real app.

A reading sends what you gave it to the AI provider, with a summary of the property's records so it can link to them. Ask, which answers questions from the record, sends the question with a copy of the property's records, not its photos or files. Nothing from the record goes until you press a button that carries the AI mark.

Reading is included; Settings, AI shows how many reads you have used this month, and the limit when there is one. If you reach it, or the included reading is paused, your own API key from the provider still works. A key comes from the provider's developer site: a ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini subscription is a different thing and does not include one.

Everything can be typed in by hand instead. Learn has more on the readers.

Everything in it

All of it, by the job it does.

What is in it for the house you live in, grouped by what you are trying to do.

Know the house

Systems and the equipment under each, with ages against a typical life, allowing for condition and upkeep.
Walk through the systems: which photo to take, and why, one system at a time.
Rooms and buildings, measured by hand, each on its own page under Property.
The public record for the address, where the provider has one, for you to check.
Contents, room by room, with photos and replacement values for an insurance rider.

Keep up with it

An upkeep schedule built from the house, with one-off jobs and chores with a name on them.
Log it with the date, the cost and who did it, and it comes round again.
Your own calendar can subscribe to the schedule, the warranties and the papers that run out.
List for a quote: tick the tasks and send one job to whoever you choose.

Repairs and projects

Work items with photos, the contractor, the estimate and what it actually cost.
Findings from an inspection, each one a job when you are ready.
Bids side by side; accept one and it sets the job's estimate.
A link for a contractor to send notes and photos back, with no account.

Paper and money

Receipts read into expenses, filed under the job or the equipment.
Documents with their dates, and the ones about to run out in Coming up.
A forwarding address for the property, once you make one; nothing in it is read until you press Read it.
The loan and its statements, and what you have spent, as you entered them.

When something goes wrong

Something is happening: the shutoffs you recorded, a log as it unfolds, and the costs.
An emergency packet that prints, and opens again without a signal.
A claims package from what you had recorded before.

The long view

Outlook: what is wearing out and what is likely to fall due over the next ten years, each line saying what it rests on. Where you have not entered a figure it uses a typical cost for that kind of thing and says so on the screen; none of it is a bill, a quote or advice.
History: the work, the installs, the findings and the papers, in date order.
Ask: questions answered from the record, with the entries it used.

Sharing and handing on

Household members in their own accounts, a property manager, or read only.
View-only links with the sections you choose, ended when you say.
A Passport for a buyer, an insurer, a lender or a contractor.
The whole record handed to the next owner when you sell.
The whole record and its files, downloaded any time as one archive.

One record, one account

Rent it out, sell it, or buy the next one.

The record of the house is the same whatever the place is to you, and one account holds your home beside a rental or a house you are deciding on. Rent it out and the rental's tools appear beside the record, with Tenants or Stays right after Overview. Move back in and they step aside, kept out of sight; nothing you kept is lost, and there is one kind of account.

In the app, a home is Domicusto Homeowner; rent it out and it becomes Domicusto Rental or Domicusto STR, the same record with the rental's tools beside it.

Good to know

Before you make yourself at home.

What it doesn't do

It does not tell you what to do with your money, or how anything is taxed.
It does not find, book or recommend contractors, and it passes your details to no one selling anything.
It does not connect to your thermostat, your bank or a store account.
It does not save anything AI proposes until you have checked it.
It does not guess a make, a model or a price from a photo of a room.

What people ask

Do I have to enter the whole house first?

No. Start with one repair, one receipt or one system. Setup asks what the place is to you and a few things about it; everything else can wait until you have it to hand.

Where do the ages and typical costs come from?

From what you enter. Where you have not entered a figure, Outlook uses a typical one for that kind of thing and says so on the screen. Typical lives come from published life-expectancy tables, and you can set your own.

Can somebody else in the house use it?

Yes. Invite them by email and they see this property, and only this property, in their own account. A property manager or a read-only member is a choice too, and you can end any of them in Settings.

Do I have to use AI?

No. Everything can be typed in by hand. Nothing from the record goes to an AI provider until you press a button that carries its mark.

What happens to the record if I sell?

You can hand the whole record to the next owner's account, with or without the money, and keep your own copy. Or download the whole record and its files, any time, and take it with you.

Is it free?

Domicusto is free during early access. AI use may have limits or need a separate setup, which your account details will say.

Start with one thing worth remembering.

A repair, a receipt or the age of the furnace.
