The whole app
From first launch to the sheet you send.
Every part of it, in the order you meet it.
Who comes to your door
Milk, the paper, water, tiffin, laundry — and Other for eggs, gas, anything. Start with one, free always. More slates come with Pro, whenever you want them.
How that adds up
The rate, once
Type what a packet costs and the wizard shows the month it adds up to, before you commit to anything.
Do you pay the vendor a fixed monthly fee?
A fixed monthly fee
Some vendors charge for the delivery itself. It is a question before it is a field, so a household that pays nothing extra never types a zero.
A tap a day
The usual quantity is one tap, and today’s button already knows what usual is. A logged day carries what came, right there on the calendar.
Thu, Aug 6 — Milk
Packets per milk type
Two kinds, one calendar
Toned and full cream come from the same man on the same morning, so they live on the same slate and are priced separately.
Days off — Milk
No delivery on these days. They won’t count toward your bill.
Away for a week
Mark the range once. Nothing is counted while you are gone, and the total knows why.
2 days not recorded
8, 9 have nothing logged for Milk, so the total leaves them out. The statement will say so.
Days you forgot
It asks what happened rather than guessing, and it never quietly drops the day. The statement says plainly which days were never recorded.
Last 6 months
Six months, as bars
This month against the five behind it, so a month running high is something you notice while it is still running rather than when the bill arrives.
Where it went
Where it went
Every service as a share of the month, so “where does the money go” is a screen rather than an argument.

Paid ₹2575 · cash, transfer
What you handed over
Record what you have already paid. Due is only right once the paying is in the book too.
Past months stay open
Every month you have kept is still there, still settleable, still sendable.
Based on 77 days logged
I paid · ₹740A month, opened
Tap one and it unfolds: every service, what you handed over, and how many days it was counted from. A settled month still opens, and still sends a sheet.
One clean sheet each
Their days, their rate, any fee, what you have already paid and what is left. It leaves as a picture, so they read it without installing anything — and now two people have a record instead of one.
Questions
The ones worth answering before you install anything.
What it costs is on pricing, every screen on features, and the rest at support.
Do I need an account?
No. The ledger lives on your phone and works with no signal at all. An account only exists so you can back the ledger up and get it onto a second phone, and that is free.
Does my vendor need the app?
No. At the end of the month you hand them a picture — their days, their total, and any days nothing was recorded. They read it like any other photo.
What does it cost?
Your first service is free and stays free. Pro adds the rest of the door: ₹39 a month, ₹399 a year, or ₹1599 once.
Is the free tier a trial?
No. One service is free forever, not for thirty days. What Pro buys is the second, third and fourth person at your door.
What happens to my data?
It stays on your phone. Nothing is sold, and there are no ads. If you turn on backup it is copied to our server so you can restore it — that is the only copy that leaves the device.
Why it exists
How my mom uses this app. 🏡 And you can too.
Hi, I’m Priya 👋
I built HomeSlate.
At the end of every month, my mother and the milkman arrived at two different numbers. Neither of them was wrong.
He kept his count in a notebook. She kept hers in her head. There was no third record — so every month, somebody had to take somebody’s word for it.
The budget apps did not help. Every one of them wanted a category built before it would let her write down what had already come to the door.
And milk would not sit still: two packets of toned one day, one of full cream the next, never the same price twice. What she asked for was small — one app for the running of a house.
Everything I found was built for the milkman. So I built it for her side of the door — and if your house runs on the same small deliveries, it is yours too.

My mother
Still logging, every morning.
Every morning
The gate opens, the packets come in, and she taps once on the way back to the kitchen. That is the whole of most days.
Some time mid-month
She looks at the six bars and knows whether this month is running like the last five — before anybody asks her for money.
On the first
The milkman gets the milk month. The laundry gets the laundry month. Nobody gets the household sheet, and nobody has to take her word for it.
