How does HomeTend work?
From problem to plan in seconds. No forms. No typing. Just point your camera and let AI handle the rest.
- Snap the problem. A dripping pipe, a cracked tile, a mystery stain — just take a photo. That's all you need to do.
- AI drafts the task. Title, category, tags, and description — all suggested automatically. Review, tweak if needed, and save.
- It manages itself. Set recurrence and HomeTend reschedules automatically. Get reminded before it's due. Never forget maintenance again.
The features that make HomeTend worth installing
Why people download HomeTend:
- Photo-first task creation. Point your camera at the problem. AI reads the photo and suggests the title, category, tags, and description. From 'something's dripping' to a filed task in under ten seconds.
- Recurring maintenance that reschedules itself. Set it once: HVAC filters every 3 months, gutters every fall, septic every 2 years. Complete a job and the next occurrence appears automatically.
- Needs-booking radar. Recurring jobs surface as 'needs booking' before they're due, based on your lead time. You book the electrician in time instead of remembering the week after.
- Every pro, one tap away. Your plumber, electrician, and pool guy live in your property's contact book, attached to the tasks they work on. One tap opens a WhatsApp chat.
From a one-time setup to a weekly habit
Why people keep using it:
- Receipt intelligence. Photograph a receipt and AI extracts the vendor, date, total, and currency — then files it against the right task. Your paper shoebox, digitized.
- Lifetime spend per job. 'What have I paid pool services over the last three years?' is finally a question with an answer. Every recurring series tracks its complete cost history.
- Household sharing. Invite your partner, kids, or housemate by link. Everyone sees the same tasks, calendar, and vendors — free, on every plan.
- The whole home at a glance. Dashboard, calendar, and status views: what's unscheduled, what's booked, what's done, and what's quietly going stale.
Unlike anything else on the market
Why people recommend it:
- AI vendor matching. Snap a new receipt and HomeTend recognizes the vendor and links it to your existing contact. It remembers who did the work even when you don't.
- A maintenance record worth money. A documented, receipt-backed service history is a genuine asset at resale, for insurance claims, and at tax time. You're building your home's paper trail.
- Multi-property ready. Primary home, the beach place, a parent's house. Each property gets its own tasks, contacts, and history under one login.
- WhatsApp-native, not form-native. No portals, no 'request a quote' forms, no pro-network lock-in. You keep your own tradespeople — we just make reaching them instant.

What HomeTend intentionally doesn't do: contractor marketplaces, home inventory for insurance, renovation project budgets, social features or reviews, and ads. These aren't gaps — they're the bloat our target user is fleeing.

Built around three principles
- Your data is yours. Export your full maintenance history whenever you want. We build for the day you sell the house, not the day we lock you in.
- Simple beats comprehensive. HomeTend does one job — keeping your home maintained and its costs documented — and stays out of your way.
- Honest subscription, easy exit. One plan, a price you can see, renewal reminders before we charge, and cancellation in two taps.
