Roost: Home Maintenance

Your home runs on a hundred small things you keep meaning to do. The smoke alarm that's quietly aging out. The HVAC filter that should have been swapped a month ago. The leftovers at the back of the fridge. The appliance manual you can never find when something breaks. Roost keeps all of it in one calm, private place — and reminds you before things slip. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Pay once, and it's yours. KEEP YOUR HOME ON SCHEDULE Roost comes with a library of common home-care tasks — smoke and CO alarms, water filters, HVAC, gutters, seasonal jobs and more — each with a sensible default schedule. Add your own tasks, attach them to specific appliances, and check them off as you go. Roost does the recurring math, so the next due date just appears. Guidance is grounded in trusted public standards, including NFPA 72 (smoke alarm replacement), the EPA's indoor air quality recommendations (filter changes), and the USDA FoodKeeper database (food shelf life). Every recommendation shows its source, so you know why it's there. USE UP YOUR PANTRY Add groceries by scanning a barcode or typing them in, set an expiry, and Roost nudges you three days before anything is about to go off. Tap "Use It Up" and Roost suggests recipes built from what you already have — generated privately, right on your device, with nothing sent to a server. On supported devices it uses on-device intelligence; on others it falls back to a built-in matcher, so the feature works for everyone. KEEP THE PAPERWORK Photograph your appliances, capture model numbers with the camera, and store PDF manuals and warranties. When something breaks at 9pm, the details are right there. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Roost is local-first. Your data lives on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud account — never to our servers. There is no analytics, no account to create, no email to hand over. Our App Privacy label is simply "Data Not Collected," because we don't. PAY ONCE Roost is free for a full home's basics — unlimited maintenance tasks and unlimited pantry items, with iCloud sync included. Roost Pro is a single $14.99 purchase (no subscription, ever) that unlocks unlimited appliances, documents and photos, model-number scanning, CSV export with charts, every widget, and recipe history. Buy it once and share it with your family through Family Sharing at no extra cost. WHO IT'S FOR Homeowners and renters who would rather own their data than rent it — who are tired of subscriptions for things that should just work, and who want their home's details to stay theirs. Roost. Your home, kept private.
