About

Homekeep

Features
Read full description

Homekeep is the shared household organizer for families, couples and roommates. Shopping lists, recurring chores, notes and a family calendar all live in one app. Everyone at home sees the same lists, and every change syncs in real time. No more group chats about the housework. No more "did you already buy milk?" GET STARTED IN THREE STEPS 1. Create your household. 2. Invite the people you live with by link or invite code. 3. Add your first chore or shopping item. Everyone sees it right away. ONE HOME SCREEN FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Open the app and see today at a glance. What is overdue, what is due, who is doing it, and what still needs buying. A swipeable week strip shows the days ahead, so nothing arrives as a surprise. A SHOPPING LIST THAT SYNCS AS YOU SHOP Add items to the shared shopping list as you think of them. The list updates instantly on every phone in the household. Your groceries are sorted by category, including produce, dairy, meat and fish, and bakery, with quantities and units. No duplicates, and nothing forgotten at the store. RECURRING CHORES, SHARED FAIRLY Set up household chores that repeat by themselves. Take out the trash every Tuesday. Change the bed sheets every two weeks. Assign each chore to someone, rotate chores automatically between household members, and group them by room. See what is done and what is overdue at a glance. NOTES AND CHECKLISTS Write anything down. The wifi password, a packing list, a reminder to book the dentist. Every note holds a title, a body and a checklist, so a note can be a shared reference one day and a list you tick off the next. Add a due date and a reminder when a note needs doing. Pin the notes that matter and archive the rest. A FAMILY CALENDAR FOR YOUR WHOLE HOME Chores, notes and events share one family calendar. Switch between month, week and day views to see the whole household week at a glance. Already keep a calendar somewhere else? Import it from an .ics file and bring it along. HOMEKEEP ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets put the household on your home screen. See today's tasks and notes, what is overdue, today's events, the next few days, your week or the whole month, the shopping list and your pinned notes, without opening the app. Pick the household, the person and what to show, and tap any widget to jump straight to it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chap at none against Homekeep's shown. Homekeep's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
