What if your home could tell you
when something was about to expire?
Keen Owner is the home management app that tracks receipts, warranties, maintenance schedules, and rental expenses — so you're always ready when something breaks or tax season arrives.
Available on Web, iOS, and Android. Free to start.
For homeowners
Stop losing money on expired warranties and missed maintenance. Every feature is built around a real job homeowners need done.
Find any receipt in seconds
Snap a photo with your phone — Keen Owner reads the store name, date, and amount automatically. When something breaks, search by item, store, or date range instead of digging through drawers.
- ✓ OCR receipt scanning
- ✓ Search by store, item, or date
- ✓ Link receipts to warranty records
Never miss a warranty claim
Add an item with its warranty end date and Keen Owner alerts you 30 days before it expires — with your receipt photo already attached. No more denied claims because you lost the paperwork.
- ✓ 30-day advance expiration alerts
- ✓ Proof of purchase attached
- ✓ Track manufacturer + extended warranties
Stay ahead of maintenance
Set recurring reminders for HVAC filters, gutter cleaning, seasonal inspections — anything that needs attention on a schedule. Syncs with Google Calendar so reminders go where you already look.
- ✓ Recurring maintenance schedules
- ✓ Google Calendar sync
- ✓ Seasonal task templates
Map your home with floorplans
Upload a floorplan and pin items to their exact location. When the plumber asks where the shutoff valve is, or insurance needs to know what was in the living room, you have the answer instantly.
- ✓ Upload any floorplan image
- ✓ Pin items to exact locations
- ✓ Click a pin to view item details
Insurance-ready home inventory
Generate a complete itemized report of everything you own — with photos, purchase prices, and dates. If you ever need to file a claim, you have documented proof ready in minutes.
- ✓ One-click insurance report export
- ✓ Photos included in report
- ✓ Value and purchase date per item
Share with household members
Add family members or a property manager so everyone has access to the same records. No more “I don't know where the warranty is — ask your partner.”
- ✓ Up to 5 members on Home plan
- ✓ Shared access to all records
- ✓ Role-based permissions

Simpler than HomeZada. Smarter than a spreadsheet.
Most alternatives are either too complicated, too expensive, or just a folder with no alerts.
