"UK households deserve a home operating system built around the way British property actually works. EPCs, the Renters' Rights Act, gas safety, council tax, smart devices, every certificate and reminder that keeps a home running. Stead pulls it all into one central place that knows about your specific property."

"The boring bits of running a UK home deserve a considered tool. Not another notification factory, not a generic app that doesn't know what an EPC is. Just something that quietly remembers what your house needs to know about itself."
