Home Memory: Plan and keep track of your home with AI

The problem

Cable routes forgotten after drywall. The exact paint you used two years ago? Can't read it off the wall. Serial numbers and service dates, scattered across invoices, photos, and notes.

It's not only what's already there. You plan repairs, renovations, and DIY fixes with your AI. It helps you think things through. Weeks later, the useful reasoning is buried in an old chat, separate from the home it was about.

And even when you tried, not everything worth remembering felt worth the effort. That's why most home documentation dies. You only find out when it's too late.

The solution

Home Memory keeps your home organized the way it actually is: areas, rooms, the devices and items inside them, and even the cables and pipes between them. No forms, no navigation. Just talk. The AI reads and writes your home data for you, and often figures out what you didn't say. Like a colleague who thinks ahead. The more your AI knows about your home, the better it can help you decide.

From everyday upkeep to new projects

Keep track of what's already there

Paint, appliances, service dates, serial numbers, cables, tools, cars, and garden equipment.

Plan what comes next

Repairs, renovations, new rooms, or a new home. Talk it through with your AI, and keep the useful details as you go.

Examples

Talk to your home

› "Show me all cables running from the breaker panel to the kitchen"

› "What is this? Add it to the utility room." [photo]

› "When was the heat pump last serviced?"

› "My dishwasher's upper rack broke. Worth repairing given its age?"

› "What exact paint did we use in the hallway? Where can I get it again?"

› "Extract the installed devices from this invoice." [PDF]

Not just recall. Your AI can help you think, compare, and decide.

Claude Desktop with Home Memory: adding appliances from natural language

One sentence. Two appliances documented, utility room created, all in the right place.

Getting started

How it works

1

Install Home Memory

Run it on your machine. Windows is self-contained; macOS and Linux build from source.

2

Connect your AI app

Use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, or another MCP-compatible app. MCP is an open standard that lets it work with your local Home Memory data.

3

Let your AI help

Ask what's where, plan repairs or renovations, and let it update the details as things change.

Scope

Use it where it helps

Electrical HVAC Plumbing Vehicles Tools Appliances Furniture Security IT & Network Solar & PV Garden Building Materials Electronics Collections Sports & Leisure and more

It even covers the cables, pipes, and ducts between things, and where they run.

Start with whatever matters most right now. There's no need to document everything. The value grows with every entry.

About

When I built my house, I wrote software to plan and document the whole thing: outlets, conduits, circuits, pipe runs. Over time it grew: HVAC, vehicles, tools, even trees in the garden. Having that data came in handy more often than I expected. But adding data was always the bottleneck.

When MCP came along, I connected that database to an AI assistant, and the bottleneck disappeared. I could finally ask about my own home, and the AI could use the details I had already captured. That's Home Memory.

Your home knowledge isn't trapped in chat history. It lives in a structured, local database file.
