OurHut: Household Know-How

Somebody in your house knows which day the trash goes out, who the internet provider is, where the breaker box is, and which bills are on autopay and which ones need a human. Usually it's one person. Everyone else finds out what they don't know at exactly the wrong moment — a shutoff, a missed payment, a parent who needs help and a family that doesn't know where to start. Ask yourself one question: if you were out of reach for a week, would anyone else in your household know how anything actually works? For most families, the honest answer is no. Not because nobody cares — because it was never written down anywhere but one person's head. OurHut puts all of it in one place, shared with the people who'd need it. WHAT IT DOES • Home services — internet, electric, gas, water, trash day, mobile, security, HOA. Who the provider is, how it's paid, and who to call when something's wrong. • The house itself — mortgage servicer, homeowners insurance, property tax, home warranty, and the trades you actually use: HVAC, plumber, electrician, lawn, pest control. • The autopay map — which bills pay themselves and from where, and which ones still need a human to act. The single hardest thing for a family to reconstruct when the usual person isn't available — and pure reference data, nothing sensitive stored. • House knowledge — where the water shutoff is, where the breaker box is, the furnace filter size, the smoke detector battery schedule. Not the house itself — just what you'd need to know in a hurry. • Who's responsible — assign a task to a family member so "someone should handle it" becomes "Dad's on it" or "your sister's got the HOA." • Household Readiness — an honest score of how much your family could actually cope if the person who usually handles things wasn't around. • Emergency & Important Info — who to call, where the spare key is, what to do first if something goes wrong. BUILT FOR HOW FAMILIES ACTUALLY SHARE A HOUSEHOLD Set it up for yourself, or set it up with a parent who wants to stay independent but let family see what's going on — without anyone taking over. Invite the people who need visibility; give each of them the access that fits: full access for someone sharing the load, view-only for someone who just wants to know. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO OurHut never asks for account numbers, passwords, or alarm codes — it remembers who the provider is and how to reach them, not your credentials. Nothing sensitive to protect means nothing sensitive to lose. PLANS Free to start: track a few essentials before you decide it's worth more. Household and Family plans are one-time purchases, not subscriptions — nothing auto-renews. Built for every household carrying this alone.
