Home tour notes made simple.

HomeThoughts helps you capture what matters while you tour: notes, photos, and voice memos, organized into reports so you can find the right home with clarity, on your own or with a partner. It organizes your thinking and helps you reach a decision you can trust.

"Wait, which one had the weird kitchen? The one on Maple? Or was that the one with the good porch?"

After five tours, every house blurs into the last one. The photos pile up, the notes scatter across three different apps, and the details you swore you'd remember are already fading. HomeThoughts gives your search one home: what you saw, what you said, and how it felt, organized while it's still fresh.

From walkthrough to clarity, in three moves

1. Capture what matters

At the tour or on a neighborhood walk, grab photos, talk out a voice memo, or tap down a quick thought. Voice memos are transcribed right on your iPhone, so nothing slows you down and your audio never leaves your phone.

2. Get your reports

HomeThoughts turns your captures into a Home Summary Report and Neighborhood Notes: what stood out, what you noticed, what's worth a second look. In your words, not a score.

3. See where you stand

The Compare tab keeps a living comparison called Where You Stand: each home, side by side, against what you said matters. It lays out the evidence, so the decision comes into focus.

We organize your thinking. Your decision gets easier.

Every other tool wants to hand you an answer: an estimate, a match score, a "best fit." HomeThoughts refuses to pick your home. It listens to what you actually noticed, hands your own words back to you in order, and trusts you with the decision. Because it's your home to live in, not ours to choose.

Private by default, like a shared notebook should be

  • Your captures are visible to you, and your partner if you link accounts. Nobody else.
  • Voice transcription happens 100% on your iPhone.
  • Nothing you capture goes to the cloud AI until you opt in, and you can change your mind anytime in Settings.
  • Sign in with Apple. No passwords, no ad trackers, no data sales.
  • Share a report only when you choose to, and revoke it anytime.
  • Delete your account and every byte of your data, in-app, anytime.

Questions, answered

Does HomeThoughts find homes for you?
No, and that’s on purpose. You’ll find homes on Zillow, Redfin, or with your agent. HomeThoughts is for what happens next: remembering what you saw, sorting out what you thought, and deciding with confidence. Keep Zillow. Bring HomeThoughts to the tour.
Will it tell you which house to buy?
Never. HomeThoughts organizes what you noticed and felt and shows you where each home stands on what you said matters, so you can reach your own decision with confidence.
Is HomeThoughts free?
It’s free to download, capturing is always free, and your first home report is free with real AI synthesis included. Full Access, a one-time $19.99 purchase, unlocks reports beyond your first, the Where You Stand comparison, the agent PDF, and market trends. Searching with a partner? One purchase covers you both. No subscription, ever.
Are your captures private?
Yes. Your captures are private by default and visible only to you, and your partner if you link accounts. Voice memos are transcribed on your iPhone, and nothing you capture goes to the cloud AI unless you opt in, a choice you can change anytime in Settings. You sign in with Apple, nothing is shared unless you create a share link yourself, and you can delete everything, in the app, anytime.
Is there an Android version?
Not today. HomeThoughts is an iPhone app, built natively for iOS 17 and later.

Your next tour deserves better notes

Capture notes, photos, and voice memos while you tour. Remember what matters. Find the one that feels like home.
