I'm building the tool I want for my own house.
I'm Brian, a solo developer and a homeowner. I started Houses 2 Homes because keeping track of my home (what was fixed, what it cost, what’s coming up) quietly turned into a second job. This is the app I made for myself first.
Hi, I'm Brian
The person on the other side of this app.
Brian
Founder & Developer
I wanted to create an app that makes keeping up with my house feel less like a job.
I’m the developer, the designer, the support inbox, and the person keeping the lights on.
I’m also a homeowner with a home to look after, and that’s the reason I created this app. What started as my own notebook for paint colors, filter sizes, contractor names and project receipts turned into the tool you’re looking at, because I got tired of losing things in email threads and phone photos.
I’m doing this because I genuinely want a simpler way to own a home, both for what it costs me and for what it asks of me. If that’s useful to you too, I’m glad you’re here.
What I'm trying to make easier
Three sides of the same problem: the records, the money, the calendar.
Centralize everything
Maintenance records, appliance manuals, paint colors, project photos, contractor contacts. One place, organized by room and by property, instead of a search through old email.
See what your home actually costs
Track what every repair, replacement and improvement runs. Break it down by room, by year, or by category, without keeping a spreadsheet.
Stay ahead of maintenance
Gentle reminders before something breaks instead of after. Filter changes, dryer vents, gutters. Routine things, on a schedule you can see.
What this is, and what it isn't
Quick honesty about scope, before you spend time signing up.
- A personal tool for the home (or few homes) you actually own
- A room-by-room record of what’s in your house and how it was built
- A maintenance schedule with reminders, kept quietly in the background
- A simple ledger for what each project cost you
- A real-estate listings or home-value site
- A social network for homeowners
- An AI assistant that talks to your contractors for you
What I'm committing to
Three things I'll try to keep true, even as the app grows.
Quiet by default
No streaks, no badges, no nudge-to-engage email. The app shows up only when something actually needs your attention.
Your data is yours
Export a full home report and download your photos from any property on Standard or Pro.
Everything here earns its place
Each feature has to prove itself on my own house before it ships. AI helps where it genuinely saves time, and I have left it out everywhere else.
Where our data comes from
The public sources behind the guides, tools and suggestions.
- NASA POWER
Long-term climate (snowfall, sunshine, frost and rainfall) for tailoring guides, the maintenance calendar, and setup and yard suggestions.
The data was obtained from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center's Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) project funded through the NASA Earth Science Division.
The data was obtained from the POWER Project's Climatology API v2.10.1 (2001–2025 climatology), accessed from October 2026. - U.S. National Weather Service
Current weather on your dashboard and yard pages.
- USDA Plant Hardiness Zones (via phzmapi.org)
Your hardiness zone from a ZIP code, which sets typical frost dates.
- RentCast
Public property records that prefill a new home during setup.
