Getting started with Eave

Eave is your home's memory. It keeps everything about your house in one calm place — projects, maintenance, appliances, contractors, and warranties — so you don't have to hold it all in your head. This guide walks you through your first setup and your first ten minutes.

What Eave does

Eave remembers the things a home needs so you don't have to. It tracks your projects and to-dos, keeps a registry of your appliances and their warranties, schedules seasonal upkeep, and gives your home a single Upkeep Score (0–100) that reflects how well you're keeping up. Nothing nags you — items simply appear when they're due, and you decide what to do next.

Set up your home and address

When you first sign in, Eave asks for your home's address. Adding it lets Eave pull in public property data for your location — flood, fire, and seismic risk, local climate and freeze dates, and permit and assessor info — refreshed each season so your plan reflects where you actually live.

You can update your address or home details anytime from the profile menu (bottom-left) under Update My Home or Property Settings. Every account covers one property on the free plan. Support for multiple properties is Eave Multi-Property, a separate plan covering 2–5 properties at $7.99/property/mo ($69/property/yr). For 6+ properties, Eave Portfolio is on the way — join the waitlist.

The three ways to capture

Anything you want Eave to remember, you can add three ways. Each one produces a draft you review and edit before saving.

1. Speak it — Tap the mic and describe a project out loud. Speech-to-text happens right in your browser. (If you don't see a mic button, your browser doesn't support voice — try Chrome, Edge, or Safari.)
2. Snap a photo — Take or upload a photo and Eave reads it into a project draft. Great for a leaky faucet, a cracked tile, or a spec-plate label on an appliance.
3. Describe it — Type a plain-language note like "repaint the back deck this spring." Press ⌘↵ (or Ctrl+↵) to parse it.

Review the draft, adjust anything, then Save to Projects. Eave quietly enriches it in the background.

Your first 10 minutes

• Add your address so property data can load.
• Capture one project using any of the three methods above.
• Add one or two appliances under Systems & Appliances — picking a known name (like Water Heater or Furnace) auto-fills maintenance reminders. Use Enrich with AI to fetch lifespan, warranty length, filter specs, and an active-recall check.
• Connect Gmail (under Sources) so Eave can find appliance receipts and warranty emails. Every result is previewed before it's saved.
• Check your Upkeep Score on the Home tab to see where your home stands.

That's enough to make Eave useful. It grows more helpful as you add more.
