Stop being the one who remembers everything
HouseMouse is a helper you and your partner both text on WhatsApp. It keeps track of dinner, groceries, bills and repairs, and reminds whoever’s turn it is.
Takes about 5 minutes · Nothing to download · Free during the invite-only beta
Dinner, settled by lunch
It’s 5:40. You’re both standing at the fridge, each sure the other one had a plan.
Every morning HouseMouse texts you both: who’s cooking tonight? Whoever answers first has it, and you both know by lunch.
- A one-word reply like “me” is enough.
- What you actually cook is still up to you.
One grocery list for two
One of you is at the store. The note that says oat milk is at home, on the fridge.
Text “we’re out of oat milk” and it lands on one list you both see. Tell it what you always keep in the house, and it remembers those too.
- You still do the shopping. It just holds the list.
- No store accounts or logins needed.
Upkeep, before it’s due
The furnace sounds louder than it used to. Neither of you remembers when the filter was last changed.
Pick the jobs that matter, like the furnace filter or the smoke alarms. When one comes due, it reminds whoever’s turn it is. Give it an appliance’s model and warranty, and they’re on hand the day it breaks.
- Booking the repair is still up to you.
- Told it something by mistake? You can undo it.
Bills, and who paid what
The internet bill went out last week. One of you paid it. By Friday, neither of you is sure who.
Tell it what you paid. It keeps a running tab of who’s paid what, split the way you agreed, so you can settle up any time. It never touches your money.
- It never pays bills or moves money.
- No bank logins, ever.
Chores, by owner or by turns
It’s garbage night. The bins are still by the back door, and you each thought it was the other one’s turn.
Give each chore an owner, or let the two of you take turns. HouseMouse reminds whoever’s up, so the list stops living in one person’s head.
- In a shared chat, it never says who did what.
- You decide who does what, and can change it any time.
Paperwork, read and filed
The dishwasher is flashing an error code. The warranty is in a drawer. Or an inbox. Somewhere.
Send it a receipt, a manual or an inspection report. It picks out what matters, like model numbers and what needs fixing, and keeps it for you both.
- It only sees what you send it, never your inbox.
- If it doesn’t know something, it says so.
It asks before it acts
You’re both away on Thursday, the day the furnace filter is due.
Before HouseMouse changes anything, it texts you what it wants to do. Nothing happens until one of you says yes.
- Answer in WhatsApp or on the web page.
- If neither of you answers, nothing changes.
- Your note: who’s cooking tonight??
- Your partner’s note:
breadeggsOAT MILK - Your note: furnace filter — when?
- Your partner’s note: internet $65 — who paid?
- Your note: bins: your turn?
- Your partner’s note: dishwasher warranty… somewhere

Deciding together?
Private, and fair to both of you
Built to be private
The AI behind HouseMouse runs privately. The company that runs it doesn’t keep what you send, and none of it is used to train AI. It never asks for your email or bank logins, and it knows your postal code, not your street address.
Fair to both of you
You both see the same information, and you can both correct it. In a shared chat it never says which of you did what, except to settle who owes whom.

Questions people ask
What is HouseMouse?
HouseMouse is a private AI helper for couples who share a home, whether you own or rent. You both text it on WhatsApp. It remembers the bills, repairs, appliances, chores and groceries, reminds you when something is due, and suggests changes that one of you says yes to.
Is HouseMouse a real person?
No. It’s an AI assistant: a computer program that reads your texts and writes back on its own. When it isn’t sure about something, it says so instead of guessing.
What do I say to it?
Whatever you’d text your partner about the house. “We’re out of milk.” “I paid the internet, $65.” “When did we last change the furnace filter?” There are no commands to learn. Plain words work.
Do we need to install an app?
No. HouseMouse lives in WhatsApp, and each of you has your own chat with it. A group chat for the two of you and HouseMouse is coming later. A simple web page shows everything at once when you want it.
Does it do anything without asking?
No. Anything HouseMouse wants to change waits for a yes from one of you. The one exception is something you tell it yourself, like “the dishwasher was serviced today”. That’s saved straight away, and you can undo it.
Is our information private?
Yes. The AI behind HouseMouse runs privately: the company that runs it doesn’t keep what you send, and none of it is used to train AI. It never asks for your email, bank logins or passwords, and it knows your postal code, not your street address. Your WhatsApp messages do pass through WhatsApp, which Meta runs, on their way to HouseMouse.
Can it pay our bills?
No. It tracks your bills and reminds you before they’re due. For costs you share, it keeps a tab of who paid what, so you always know where you stand. It never moves money.
What does it cost?
HouseMouse is free during the invite-only beta. We haven’t decided on paid plans yet. Whatever we decide, you can delete your account from the web page at any time.
What if only one of us signs up?
It works for just you from day one, and you can invite your partner whenever you’re ready. It does the most once you’re both texting it.
My partner sent me this. What does joining involve?
Your partner sets up your home and sends you an invite link. You confirm your phone number with a code, and your partner confirms it’s you. After that you both see the same things: shared costs, what HouseMouse remembers, and its messages. HouseMouse texts you on WhatsApp, and the web page shows everything if you’d rather not chat.
How is it different from other AI assistants?
Most AI assistants work for one person. HouseMouse is one helper shared by two people, keeping one set of notes you can both see and fix. And it never acts on its own: it asks first.
Let HouseMouse remember the house stuff, so neither of you has to.
Free during the invite-only beta. It takes about five minutes, and there’s nothing to download.
