Four minutes, and Kempt's got the house.
You give Kempt the house. Kempt gives you a Sunday Brief, the right reminders at the right moments, and exactly what to do when the weather turns.
Learns the house.
Give Kempt the address. From there it figures out the build year, the climate, the storm history, and the typical things that go wrong on a house like yours.
Then walk it through the basics: the boiler brand, the filter sizes, the gutters, the windows that stick. Three or four photos. Skip what you don't know. Kempt will ask later.
About four minutes. Then Kempt takes it from there.
"Your water heater is nine years in. A yearly drain buys you three or four more."
Keeps the calendar.
Air filters, gutters, the water heater, the dryer vent, smoke alarms, GFCI tests, the seasonal stuff. Kempt tracks all of it in your house's calendar.
The day a task is due, you get one push notification. The part number is in there, the size, where to find the thing in the house. Nothing more on the lock screen than you need.
"Air filter due Saturday. The 16×25×1 above the return vent."
Sees things coming.
A cold snap, a heat wave, a storm rolling in. Kempt keeps an eye on the forecast and the season so you don't have to.
When something's headed your way, Kempt gives you a heads up the day before, with the prep that actually matters for your house. No scrolling, no menus. Just what's worth doing before bed.
"Cold snap Thursday night. Worth pulling the hoses off the outdoor spigots before bed."
Writes the Sunday Brief.
Every Sunday morning, a plain rundown lands in the app, and in your inbox if you'd like: what got handled, what needs attention this week, and what's coming next season.
Under 300 words, always. The weather worth knowing, the tasks worth doing, and the dollars you kept. Read it over coffee. You'll be done before the second sip.
"Heat advisory through Wednesday evening. Nothing outside needs you this week, so stay in the cool."
Keeps the ledger.
Money Kept is a running tally of what staying ahead has saved you. Every filter swap, every early catch, every repair that never got the chance to happen, in dollars, on one screen.
Each figure comes from what the repair typically costs when it's left too long. Watching the number climb is most of the fun.
"Filter discipline this week kept $120 from early burnout."
Remembers, out loud.
Every detail Kempt saves about your home lives in the Memory Log, one screen you can read, edit, or clear whenever you like. No mystery about what's on file.
Export the whole record anytime, as a file you can re-import later or a clean PDF for the drawer. If you ever leave, it leaves with you.
"Every appliance, task, and note. One file. Take it with you anytime."
Questions that come up.
If yours isn't here, write us. We read everything.
Does Kempt work for an apartment or condo?
Yes. The list is shorter (no roof, no boiler, often no yard) but the small things still matter. The dryer vent, especially in stack buildings. The under-sink supply lines. The smoke alarm batteries. The seasonal filter swap. Kempt scopes to what you actually own.
Do I need to be handy?
No. About half of what Kempt surfaces is "do this in ten minutes" stuff. Change the filter, clear the aerator, test the GFCI. The other half is "call this person before the season changes." Either way you'll know what it is, what it costs, and whether it's urgent.
How often will I hear from Kempt?
One Sunday Brief a week, in the app. One push the day a task is due. A heads up when the weather's about to matter, a freeze or a storm, usually three or four times a year. Quiet otherwise. Settings let you turn any of it down.
Where does my data live?
On your phone, mostly. The minimum needed on the server to send your Brief and remember your house: the address, equipment notes, and any photos you've sent. Never sold, never shared with insurers or contractors. Full details on the trust page.
Is Kempt artificial intelligence?
It's a notebook with opinions and a good memory. There's modern software underneath, sure. But the part you'll notice is the writing, the timing, and the specifics. Those come from people who've changed a lot of filters.
