Layer 05: Memory

What does the household know?

The model numbers, papers, phone numbers and know-how your home runs on, kept in one place and searchable in plain words.

Things

Every appliance, with its paperwork attached.

Appliances, vehicles, home systems, electronics and furniture, each with its model, serial number, purchase date and price, where it was bought and when the warranty ends. Link each one to its documents, the contact who services it and its maintenance schedule.

  • Model, serial, purchase date and price
  • Warranty end date, with a reminder 30 days before
  • Linked to documents, contacts and maintenance

Home inventory and mileage

What you own, room by room.

Give each thing a room and the inventory report groups everything by room with totals, which receipts you have and a spreadsheet download. It prints cleanly and helps if you ever need to make an insurance claim. For the car, log the odometer and see jobs due by mileage.

  • Grouped by room, with totals and receipts
  • Print it, or download it as a spreadsheet file
  • Car jobs due by mileage as well as by date

The inventory report and car mileage are on Household and Household+.

Documents vault

Papers kept private, not just filed.

PDFs and photos are stored privately. There is never a public link, and every download checks that you are a member with access. Sensitive categories default to Adults only, and expiry dates remind you 30 days before.

Photos and albums

Your family’s photos, together.

Shared photos and albums with captions, tags, reactions and comments, a slideshow, and On this day memories on Home.

Drawn illustrations of a made-up household, from the same sample data as the app's demo. No real photos and no real people.

Turn on JavaScript to browse the sample albums.

  • Private, with never a public link
  • Resized to save space, unless the owner turns on Keep original photos
  • Location removed from the resized copies
  • Album links for family outside the home that expire and can be turned off
  • Short videos on Household and Household+
  • For sharing moments, not a full photo backup

About location: the resized copies Kinnomy makes have location data removed. Originals kept with Keep original photos, videos, and HEIC photos the server cannot convert are stored exactly as uploaded, including any location the phone saved.

Contacts

The people your home relies on.

The doctor, the dentist, the plumber, the electrician, the school, the vet and your emergency contacts, each with a category. Tap to call or email.

Notes and the house manual

The things one person knows, written down once.

Quick notes for anything, with pinned notes on the Home board. For the longer how-tos, the house manual is the household wiki: the wifi, how to reset the breaker, trash day, bedtimes and how to feed the cat.

On paid plans, a guest pass shares just the pages a sitter needs, with the contacts and emergency details you choose, until a date you set.

Activity timeline

Who changed what, and when.

An activity timeline records what changed in the household and who changed it. No more “who moved the dentist?”

Which plans include it

Free includes contacts, notes, the house manual, and photos with 500 MB of storage. Household adds things, the inventory report, documents, memory search, guest passes, album links and short videos, with 5 GB of storage. Household+ raises storage to 25 GB. Compare plans.
