You shouldn't be the only one who remembers.

Most home apps do one thing. That was never about you. It was about what they could sell.

Calendar app List app Meal app Pantry app Notes app Pet app HomeAtlas

A calendar app. A list app. A meal app. Another for what's in the cupboards. Each one solves a single problem for a single person in the house, because a single problem is the easy thing to sell.

It was never a limit on what a household could handle. So we ignored it, and built for the whole house instead, which is how you get back the hours you were spending holding it together.

One subscription instead of six or more, and it grows as the household does.

HomeAtlas holds it for you

You won't use all of it on day one, and you're not meant to. Start with the corner that's bothering you most; the rest is waiting for the day it matters. It all runs off one household record, so each part already knows what the others do.

The list leaves your head, and it leaves the house

Whoever is at the shop opens the list and sees what the house actually needs, put there by whoever noticed it first. Choose an item and it opens at your usual store, ready to add.

Over 120 stores are built in, across supermarkets, hardware, garden, pet and chemist. You pick your regular one and it stays picked. Back home, one tap puts it all away.

Straight answers to what people ask first

You already have a system: a shared calendar, a group chat, a notes app and a drawer. That's four places, and none of them knows what's in the other three. Here's how HomeAtlas is different, and the questions we get asked most.

• We use a shared calendar and a group chat.

  They're good at dates and messages, but someone still has to remember everything and type it in. HomeAtlas fills a lot of it in for you.

  • A calendar stores what you typed. HomeAtlas reads the school letter and fills the dates in for you.
  • It knows the dishwasher's warranty runs out in March, because it read the sticker on the back.
  • It knows there are three meals in the freezer, because it saw the shelf.
  • It knows you already own that drill bit, so you don't buy a second one.
  • It knows when the vehicle registration is due, and which manual you need when something stops working.
  • One place. Nobody has to check four and hope.
• I've tried apps like this. I stopped after a fortnight.

  Most apps want an afternoon of setup before they give you anything back. HomeAtlas doesn't.

  • No setup wall. Photograph the fridge and get dinner ideas within minutes.
  • The camera is the keyboard. There is nothing to type in.
  • It's useful on day one, not after a weekend of data entry.
  • If you never open the settings, it still works.
  • Seven days free. If it hasn't earned its place by then, it hasn't, and you'll know.
• Another subscription, on top of all the others.

  It's built to replace a few of them, not add to the pile.

  • One price for the whole household, not per person.
  • The meal planner, the pantry tracker, the pet reminders, the document vault and the room designer are one bill here, not five.
  • Your partner, the kids and anyone helping all join free.
  • If it turns out to be an addition rather than a replacement, don't buy it.
• I'd have to get everyone else to use it.

  You don't. It's useful with just you in it.

  • The point isn't coordinating everybody. It's that the house stops living in your head.
  • If the others join, they join free and see it already filled in. There's nothing to explain.
  • If they never join, you've still put the load down.
• I don't want photographs of my house on someone's server.

  You're in control of it, and changes take effect straight away.

  • You choose exactly what each person in the household can see.
  • Children's accounts are locked down by default.
  • Export everything, or delete the lot, from a button in your account. No email, no waiting on us.
• What if I only want one part of it?

  Then use one part of it. Plenty of people will only ever open the kitchen.

  • Nothing nags you about the parts you're not using.
  • The smallest plan is priced for exactly that person.
  • The rest is still there the day it matters, already set up.
• What happens after the seven days?

  Your plan starts automatically: $2.99 a week for Home on weekly billing, or $9.99 a month if you picked monthly billing, charged to the payment method you started with. We'll email you before that happens, with the amount, the date, and a one-click way to cancel. Cancel during the trial and you're never charged.

• Do I have to set it all up before it's useful?

  No. Pick one thing (dinner tonight is the usual one) and the rest can wait until you want it.

• Someone invited me. Do I need to pay?

  No. Open their invite link and create your account. You're covered by their subscription. No card, no charge, no trial clock.

• What about my family's information?

  Kid accounts are locked down. You choose exactly what each person can see. You can export or delete everything at any time.

• How accurate is the photo scanning, really?

  Good enough to save you the typing, not good enough to trust blind, which is why nothing it finds is saved until you've looked at it. It reads a shelf into a list, sorts that into new, already-yours and can't-see-it-any-more, and waits. Anything it misreads you fix in a tap; anything it misses you add the normal way.

• Does it order the shopping for me?

  It doesn't buy anything. It takes you to the shop with the list. For most shops that means each item opens as its own search and you work through them, because they won't accept a whole list from another app. The part that saves the real time is the other direction: one tap when you get home and everything you bought files itself into the right cupboard.

• Is my usual shop supported?

  Probably: over 120 are built in across supermarkets, hardware, garden, pet and chemist, and you pick your regular one as the default. If yours isn't there, the list still works as a list.
