Built for how Britain actually runs a house.
Every American household app gets Britain wrong. No MOT, no council tax, no idea what a TV licence is, everything in dollars. Roost is built here, for here.
Start freeThe receipts.
These are templates in the product, not fields you have to invent for yourself.
| In Roost | How it is held |
|---|---|
| MOT | Tracked with its due date on the vehicle, reminded before it lapses. |
| V5C logbook | A document template of its own, so you know where it is. |
| Road tax | On the vehicle, alongside insurance and service history. |
| Gas Safe registration | A field on the boiler, because that is the number that matters. |
| Council tax | A utility template with its band, provider and payment dates. |
| TV licence | Its own template, with the renewal date. |
| EPC certificate | A document template, with its expiry. |
| GHIC card | The replacement for the EHIC, held with its expiry date. |
| Railcard | A membership template, so you renew it before a trip. |
| Blue Light Card | A membership template for the people who qualify for it. |
| Premium Bonds | Under Finance and Future, with your holder number. |
| Help to Buy equity loan | Its own template, because the admin around it is real. |
| Right to Buy | A home template for people going through it. |
| National Insurance number | A document template, findable when a form asks. |
| Decree absolute | Held properly, for when it is needed. |
The emergency numbers that matter here.
0800 111 999 for gas. The stopcock under the kitchen sink. The isolator, the fuse board, the pressure gauge that should read 1 to 1.5 bar.
Roost's “If X happens” block on every vault item is written around British houses and British providers, because at 11pm on a Sunday that is the difference between acting and searching.
The small things, too.
Your currency, your call
Pick the currency you actually spend in and every cost follows it: monthly amounts, renewals and your running total.
British supermarket aisles
Ask Roost to group a shopping list and it uses the section names you would actually see.
British spelling, British tone
“Sorted” rather than “Awesome!”. Organised with an s.
If you are not in the UK.
Roost works anywhere and nothing in it is restricted by country. The templates are simply written for British life first, so you will find some of them irrelevant. Ignore those, or create your own items instead: the vault, tasks, lists, notes, routines and household sharing all work the same wherever you live.
Common questions
Is Roost a UK app?
Yes. Roost is built in the UK for British households. The vault templates cover MOT, V5C, road tax, Gas Safe registration, council tax, TV licence, EPC certificates, GHIC, Railcards, Premium Bonds, Help to Buy and Right to Buy. Spelling is British and shopping lists group by British supermarket aisle names. Costs follow whichever currency you set, so the app suits a household anywhere.
Does Roost work outside the UK?
Yes. Roost works anywhere and nothing in it is restricted by country. The templates are simply written for British life first, so a household elsewhere will find some of them irrelevant and can ignore them or create their own items instead. You can set your own currency, so costs are shown the way you expect. Everything else, the vault, tasks, lists, notes, routines and sharing, works the same wherever you are.
Does Roost track MOT and council tax?
Yes, both as templates in their own right. Add your MOT date to the vehicle and Roost reminds you at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before it is due. Council tax is a utility template holding your band, provider and payment dates.
Does Roost track Gas Safe registration?
Yes. Gas Safe registration is a field on the boiler and appliance templates, alongside the warranty and service dates, because that is the number an engineer asks for.
Is Roost free to use in the UK?
Yes. The free plan covers all five sections with 10 items each, forever, with no card required, and household sharing is included. Pro is £5.99 a month or £49.99 a year and removes the item limits.
What platforms does Roost run on?
The iPhone app and the web app at app.getroost.io, both on the same account and syncing in real time. The web app works in any browser, including on Android. Native Android, Mac and Windows are planned.
