Home Project HelperYour renovation, finally in one place.
Estimates, budget, schedule, contractors, and design decisions — in a folder you own. You open it in Claude (Cowork) and just talk to it; it keeps the files straight. The screens below are what Claude draws for you — you never fill in a form.
Free for 1 project, full features. No app to install, no data on our servers — your files, yours forever.
It’s not a website you log into. It’s a folder your Claude runs.
There’s no app, no dashboard to sign into, no data on our servers. You get a folder, open it in Claude’s Cowork, and run your whole renovation by chatting — the same Claude you already use.
Get the folder
Start free or buy Pro, then download the folder to your computer. It’s plain files — yours forever.
Open it in Cowork
In the Claude app, start a Cowork task and point it at the folder. Claude reads its instructions and becomes your project manager. (Claude Code or Codex work too.)
Just talk to it
Drop in an estimate and say update. Ask what’s my balance? It edits the files and regenerates the views — no forms, ever.
Three moves. No forms, ever.
You already talk to Claude. Home Project Helper turns that conversation into a renovation project manager that keeps the files straight.
Drag in what they send
An emailed PDF, a photo of a paper quote, a screenshot of a texted price. Drop it in the inbox — whatever the format.
Say “update”
Claude reads it, itemizes the lines, and shows you exactly what it found — nothing commits until you confirm.
See your budget agree
The master total recomputes from source and re-checks itself — to the cent, every single time.
One glance answers “where are we?”
Rooms down the side, trades across the top, dollars in the cells. What’s planned where, what it costs, and what’s still undecided — without a legend.

Your files, yours forever
Human-readable CSVs and the original documents, in a folder you own. Works offline. Survives any vendor — including us.
No subscription-app lock-in
Not a cloud tool holding your renovation hostage. One flat price, one folder, no seats, no monthly toll.
Design choices ARE budget lines
A fabric on the mood board and a line on the estimate are the same object. Pick a finish; it’s already in the budget.
Nothing is saved without your OK
Every new number shows up as a before-and-after for you to approve, and the master total is recomputed from your own files after each change. You decide what gets recorded.
One honest price.
Start free. When you add your second project, unlock the rest for less than a single hour of a contractor’s time.
