Not a mockup
A real app, lived in every day
Here's the actual home screen — straight from the house House Brownie was built in.
Someone in every home is the one who remembers the milk — what you have, what you're out of, where to buy it, where it lives. House Brownie is that memory, shared across your whole household, so nobody has to hold it all in their head.
Invite-only while it's early — a calm home for the people you live with, not a growth machine.
Running a home together means a hundred tiny things nobody ever wrote down: who used the last of the coffee, whether you already have batteries, which store sells that one brand, and where the spare bulbs even are. Today all of it lives in scattered texts, half-remembered lists, and the one person who “just knows.” House Brownie turns the whole tangle into one calm, shared source of truth the entire household can see and update in real time.
Everything it does comes back to these.
See your whole home at a glance — every product tagged Full, Med, Low, or Out, updated by whoever touched it last. No spreadsheets, no double-buying.
Your shopping list writes itself. Anything Low or Out — plus the things you always keep stocked — flows onto one shared list automatically.
Every item knows which stores carry it, so your list groups by shop. Walk in and House Brownie shows just what to grab here.
Give things a home — a room, a shelf, a bin — and never dig again. Search or ask out loud and it tells you exactly where they live.
Two people, two phones, one source of truth — no more crossed wires.
House Brownie already knows. Set each item's preferred store once, and the shopping list groups itself by shop — so whoever you send just opens it and sees exactly where to buy each thing. Walk into any store and it lights up just what to grab there, shows what's also nearby, and tells you where to go next for whatever's still out. That's not a list — it's a route.
Settle it in a tap. Everyone sees the real status and exactly where it lives — which room, which shelf, which bin — before anyone declares an emergency or drives to the store. In a busy house, the app becomes the one memory nobody has to be.
Here's the actual home screen — straight from the house House Brownie was built in.
Not another checklist app — more like software that's on your side.
Flag the things you always rebuy and they quietly resurface at the right store the moment they dip below full.
Track one item in several rooms and get a “move some from Storage” nudge instead of needlessly buying more.
Slice your whole home by status, room, store, category, or “our usuals” to review or find anything in a tap.
Set “use within 5 days of buying” once and get gentle nudges every time you rebuy — zero expiry dates to type.
One tap marks any item freshly restocked — resetting its status and its freshness clock in the same move.
Quiet an auto-suggested item for this trip or a week, so the list stays helpful and never nags.
Track durables you own but never restock — the saw, the grain mill, Casey's socks — findable by room or by asking.
Everyone sees the same inventory update in real time across every device — nobody acts on stale info.
Any change — a single tap or a whole voice note — reverts immediately, so you can move fast without fear.
Built to be glanced at and tapped once — quick to load and light on data, so a weak shop signal isn't a dealbreaker.
A charming milk-bowl on your home screen (and a “leave milk out” voice command) gives your helper its warmth.
A calm, bilingual, location-aware helper for a real shared home.
Not just a quick add — create new items, set quantities, mark things out, add tasks, start a watch, all by talking. “We're low on olive oil, add batteries, I bought 14 eggs” and it sorts it out. Voice is usage-based — free with your own OpenAI key, or we run it for cost + 15%.
Bilingual by design: say “milk” or “leite” and it matches the same thing — perfect for mixed-language households and life abroad.
Location-aware lists mean you never stand in the wrong aisle. House Brownie groups your needs by store and lights up what to grab the moment you walk in — using free, private, day-to-day GPS.
No nagging, no push notifications, ever. It waits quietly in one gentle queue that simply becomes your shopping list when you're ready — a helper, not a pest.
Generate and print your own codes — or pair an existing barcode — stick them on shelves and bins, and a scan pops a one-tap menu to set quantity or status. Codes are just pointers, so they survive repackaging and rebuys.
Connect Claude — or any MCP client — to run your home in plain conversation: bulk-add items, name rooms, pair labels, tidy the list. Scoped, logged and opt-in — and included from launch, not sold back to you.
Private to you, shared with the people you live with.
Every household gets its own cozy corner of the web — with your own inventory, your own rooms, your own stores. Invite your partner, your roommates, your family; everyone signs in and shares one live source of truth. One home, one list, one brain the whole household can trust — sealed to you, and always in sync.
Every household gets its own name.housebrownie.com space behind a simple membership — no shared logins, no crossed wires.
Send a link and partners, family, or flatmates join in a tap and instantly share everything — with nothing leaking between homes.
Straightforward sign-in, no ads, no selling your data. Optional, privacy-friendly analytics only if you say yes. Your inventory, rooms, and stores are yours alone — one household never sees another.
One plan for your whole household — no per-seat core fees, no lock-in. Voice is an optional add-on.
Coming soon — invite-only while it's early. Already have a household? Log in.
Everything your household needs to run itself — your own name.housebrownie.com, live sync across everyone's phones, and MCP built in so you can connect your own AI. (Voice is a separate add-on — below.)
Usage-based — you only pay for the voice you actually use. Pick whichever suits you.
Plug in your own OpenAI key and use voice with no extra fees from us — you pay OpenAI directly for exactly what you use (usually just cents a month). This is the cheapest way, and the one we recommend.
No key, no setup — we run the AI and you pay for what you use, plus a small 15% surcharge, from a prepaid balance you top up in $20 chunks. Turn it on for none, some, or all of your household; the balance is shared, and it simply pauses when it runs low so there are never surprise bills.
🤖 MCP is included — and it's already live. Connect your household to an assistant you already use, like Claude, and let it do the tedious setup and run-keeping in plain conversation — bulk-add pantry items, name your rooms, pair QR labels, tidy the list, draft routines. Because it hands an outside AI real write-access to your home, it's built connection-scoped and least-privilege from day one: per-household tokens, per-capability grants, full activity logging, and one-tap revoke — and it stays strictly opt-in.
MCP is already live — here's what's coming after it.
A headline focus: richer bin binding, faster bulk label printing, and smarter multi-code scanning — the fastest possible path from a shelf label to an updated stock level. QR is already in the app; this makes it the fastest way to run your whole house.
Learn your household's real pace to predict run-out dates and put items on the list before you even notice they're low.
Snap a photo of your receipt and bulk-update everything you just bought in one go — no tapping item by item.
Find things by what they're for — “something for cleaning,” “a drink” — not just by their exact name.
An optional, batched weekly nudge — never a push notification — so nothing important quietly slips through.
Couples and roommates who split the shopping and the mental load want one shared list both people actually trust. This is exactly the home House Brownie was built in and for.
Parents and housemates juggling kids, chores, and a real grocery run need everyone able to add, check off, and see the same live state — without one person becoming the household's memory.
People living abroad or between languages need an app that handles both tongues, maps to their local stores, and keeps track of where everything ended up after the move.
I built House Brownie because my household actually uses it. I'm not going to pretend it's magical, or the next big unicorn — it's just a genuinely useful little app for running a home. If it works for you, it works for you.
A few people saw it and asked for one for their own households, so I decided to open it up. That's the whole story. I'm just someone who needed an app built — and maybe you did too. Now you can have it.
House Brownie is opening to new households slowly and on purpose — a quiet, shared memory for the people you live with, not a growth machine. More homes soon.
