Common questions about Roost

What is Roost?

Roost is a UK-built household app for couples and families. It stores your insurance details, renewal dates, emergency contacts, shared lists, and home maintenance routines in one place. Free to start, available on iOS and web. Roost at getroost.io is unrelated to getroost.com, which is a US smart-home insurance product.

What does the home admin vault store?

The vault stores important home details by category: home insurance, vehicles, subscriptions, documents, and health. Each item holds the key details for that category — policy number, renewal date, provider, and an emergency number — so you can find them when you need them without searching through old emails.

Can I share the household app with a partner or housemate?

Yes. Roost is designed for household sharing. Both people in the household see the same vault, the same lists, and the same renewal reminders. There is no owner or admin — both people have equal access. Sharing is free on all plans.

How do the renewal reminders work?

When you add a renewal date to a vault item — car insurance, MOT, broadband contract — Roost surfaces a reminder on your home screen before the date arrives. Reminders are built into the vault rather than a separate calendar, so the details and the reminder stay together.

Is Roost free?

Yes. The free plan covers most households and includes the vault, lists, routines, and household sharing with up to ten items per section. Pro is £3.99 per month or £24.99 per year and removes item limits across all sections.

What platforms does Roost support?

Roost is available as an iPhone app (iOS) and as a web app at app.getroost.io. Android, Mac, and Windows versions are planned. The web app works on any browser, including Android phones, while native Android support is in development.
