Why Husvo

The binder, the spreadsheet and Husvo

Most people keep track of the house with a binder on the shelf, a spreadsheet, a few notes on their phone and the rest in their head. Here's how they compare, including where Husvo doesn't win.

Side by side

Seven things a house needs from whoever keeps track. Each box says yes, partly or no, and why.

What the house needsThe binderThe spreadsheetNotes on your phoneMemoryHusvo
Finds the receipt in 10 seconds Search for dishwasher, and the entry comes up with the receipt attached. The binder is quick too, if it went in under the right tab. PartlyIf it's under the right tab PartlyThe row, but not the receipt PartlyIf you remember the word NoRarely YesSearch, and the receipt is on the entry
Reminds you about maintenance Every task has an interval. Husvo emails the household before it's late, and you can subscribe to the calendar on your phone. NoSits still on the shelf NoNot by itself PartlyOne reminder per thing, by hand PartlySometimes YesEmail in advance, and in the calendar
Shared with the household Invite the others in the house. Free covers 4 people, and everyone sees the same journal and the same list. PartlyWhoever knows where it is YesIf the file is in the cloud PartlyIf you share the note NoOnly yours YesUp to 4 on Free
Goes with the house when you sell The binder is hard to beat here: you can leave it on the kitchen worktop. With Plus you hand the journal, the papers and the appliances over to the buyer. The journal as a PDF is on Free. YesLeave it on the worktop PartlyIf you send the file NoStuck in your phone NoMoves out with you YesHand the house over, or send a PDF
Works on your phone in the cellar Husvo is built for the phone and can go on your home screen. Without signal it shows a read-only copy of the tasks and warranties. Adding anything new needs a connection. NoOn the bookshelf PartlyCramped on a small screen YesYes YesAlways with you PartlyOffline: the read-only copy
Backup The server takes a copy every night and checks that it can be read back. You can export everything as a zip whenever you like, with or without Plus. NoNo copy PartlyIf the file is in the cloud PartlyIf your phone is backed up NoNo YesEvery night, and a zip when you like
Cost Free covers most things. Plus costs SEK 29 a month or SEK 249 a year per house. Plus isn't on sale yet. Leave your email and we'll tell you when it is. Until then, every house has everything in Plus. A binder and a few tabs SEK 0 SEK 0 SEK 0 SEK 0, Plus SEK 29 a month

What Husvo doesn't do

Better you know now than after ten years of receipts.

  • Swedish only, for now

    The app is in Swedish, and the maintenance list is written for Swedish houses, seasons and rules. These pages are in English so you can see what it is.

  • Not a survey

    Husvo remembers what was done and when. A surveyor looks at the house. You can read a survey report in, but that doesn't make it a new survey.

  • No bookkeeping

    Husvo adds up what the house has cost and which jobs raised its value. Tax returns and accounts are yours to do, ideally with the receipts from the journal.

  • No app in the App Store yet

    Husvo runs in the browser and can go on your home screen. There is no app to download yet, for iPhone or Android.

  • Payment isn't open yet

    Plus isn't on sale yet. Leave your email and we'll tell you when it is. Until then, every house has everything in Plus.

Switch without starting over

No need to copy out the binder. Think ten minutes, not a weekend.

  1. From the spreadsheet

    Import the journal

    CSV or XLSX, up to 2,000 rows. Husvo guesses the columns, and you see every row before anything is saved.

  2. From the binder

    Photograph the receipts

    Husvo reads the date, the amount and what it was for, and you save the entry. Each receipt is one AI request, and Free has 10 a month.

  3. From memory

    Pick the tasks

    The maintenance list is already there: 215 tasks in the catalogue, and Husvo suggests the ones that fit your house.
