Peace of mind

“There’s so much to stay on top of when you buy a house and this gives me peace of mind knowing important maintenance won’t be forgotten!”

Great app

“App provides a wealth of information about your home and appliances. It recognized all of the typical items but even picked up on my E-bike and weedwacker. Very useful.”

How it works

Set it up once. Kempt keeps the schedule.

Give Kempt your address and answer two questions. Kempt builds a first-year plan for your house, like the one at the top of this page.

  1. The Today screen: clean the gutters and downspouts on Tuesday, September 15, saves about $300, with Mark it done and Saturday instead buttons.
    01

    Do one job at a time.

    Each job has a date and about what it saves. Mark it done or move it to Saturday. Kempt reminds you three days ahead and again the morning it's due.

  2. The House screen: a dishwasher, furnace, refrigerator, and water heater on file, each with its make and model.
    02

    Snap the label on the furnace.

    Take a photo of the nameplate and Kempt fills in the make and model. The water heater, the fridge, and the dishwasher work the same way.

  3. A Sunday Brief for the sample house at 412 Elm: this week, coming up, the weather, and dollars saved.
    03

    Read the Sunday Brief.

    Sunday evening, a short note on what got done and what's due next. When a freeze or a storm is on the way, the Brief says so.

    See a sample Brief →
  4. The Savings screen: $660 saved this year across 5 jobs, with each finished job and its dollar figure.
    04

    Watch the savings add up.

    Each finished job gets a dollar figure: about what the repair or the extra energy would have cost, minus what you spent. The Savings tab keeps the total.
