About
Eave is an independent home upkeep app, built by one person who was tired of forgetting what his house needed.
Why it exists
A house is the biggest thing most of us will ever own, and it arrives with no instructions. There's no single place that knows the furnace filter size, when the water heater was installed, which plumber you actually liked, or what needs doing before winter. So it all lives in your head — a mental backlog that grows until something you deferred becomes something expensive.
For me it started the year we bought our house. We'd done the inspection, waived our contingencies, and moved in knowing there was work ahead. I knocked out the big move-in projects fast — and then my mind went blank. I couldn't hold onto the hundred smaller things the inspection had flagged, or the ones I'd noticed myself walking the house. They lived in a notes app, in a couple of contractor quotes buried in my inbox, and in the little jolt of I've got to get to that every time I passed them on my way out the door.
When I finally sat down to tackle something, I couldn't tell whether it was over my head or completely doable with a bit of guidance. So I'd disappear into Reddit threads and YouTube videos, and eventually started asking AI for help. But the AI had no memory of my house — no idea what I'd already fixed, what it was made of, or what I'd asked six months earlier. I didn't love pouring the details of my home into some general-purpose chatbot, and I knew it would all get lost in there anyway by the time I needed it again.
I searched the App Store and the web, and everything wanted endless manual data entry. I didn't need another smart-home system to control the lights — I needed something that simply remembered: as capable as Jarvis, as home-oriented as Rosie from the Jetsons. Wasn't that what AI was supposed to be for — taking the boring, tedious stuff off our plates so we have time for the fun parts? The inspiration for Eave finally clicked one night, elbow-deep in a garbage-disposal wiring project that dragged past 2 a.m. — the kind of job I could've knocked out in an hour with the right guidance instead of a dozen open browser tabs. So I set out to build it: purpose-built home upkeep intelligence that knows my furnace filter size and hands me the reorder link before it's overdue, helps me plan the bigger projects I could take on myself with the right information and tools, and makes it easier to hire the right person for the ones I can't — all in one place, and never overwhelming.
What Eave believes
The records of your home — rooms, appliances, contractors, repairs — are yours to keep, free, forever. That's the foundation, not the upsell.
Eave shows you what it finds and waits for you to confirm. Your data is never sold or shared, and you can export or delete all of it anytime.
Remembering isn't enough. Eave turns your records into a plan — what needs doing this week, and why it matters now.
Things surface when they're due; you decide what happens. Calm by design, not another app shouting for attention.
Who's behind Eave
I'm the founder — and, today, the whole team. Eave is independent and self-funded, built one careful release at a time rather than by committee. Being solo keeps it honest: every feature has to earn its place, and the product answers to the people who use it, not to a growth chart.
I come by this honestly. I grew up in a construction family, watching my grandparents endlessly fix up their own house and the rental properties they owned, and I spent my teenage years working on job sites. From there I went into software — more than fifteen years in SaaS, and today I work at a construction-AI company. Eave sits right at that intersection: the trades I grew up around and the software I've built ever since.
It's also the app I need. I'm a hands-on, power-user type who doesn't want to be told what to do so much as handed the right, specific help to do it. Eave is what I want to open on a Saturday morning to see exactly what's worth doing next — to keep my house in good shape, protect its value, and stay ahead of the slow decline that catches up with every home.
If you have a question, an idea, or something that isn't working, it reaches me directly at support@eavehome.app. Real humans — well, human — read every message.

Where it's headed
Eave is free for one home today, with an optional Intelligence plan for the AI upkeep plan and seasonal prep. Coming next: richer capture (a narrated video walkthrough that builds your inventory for you), seasonal recapture that flags what's changed, native iOS and Android apps, and multi-property support for people who look after more than one home.
The direction won't change, though: your home's memory stays yours, and Eave keeps doing the remembering so you don't have to.
Start with the one thing that's been nagging you. Eave is free for one home and runs in any browser — your first capture takes about five seconds.
