A complete, living record of your home

Finally, your home in one place.

Joysts turns your inspection report, county records, permits, and home documents into a complete digital record — plus Joysts, which actually understands your home. Pull a permit. Plan a project. Ask anything. Never lose a document again.

Who it's for

Made for the moment you become an owner, and every year after.

You just bought a home.

Your inspection report is sitting in your email. You have 30 days to do something with it. Joysts turns it into the first chapter of your home's permanent record and gives you Joysts, which helps you understand what's in it, what to fix first, and what to ask about.

You've owned for years.

You've accumulated a decade of home knowledge: in your head, in folders, in emails, in text threads, in receipts. Joysts pulls it all into one place, fills in the public records you didn't know existed, and gives you Joysts, which can answer questions about your house.

How it works

Here's how it works.

Step 01

Start with what you have.

Upload your inspection report. Add your closing documents. Drop in your appliance manuals, your last remodel's plans, your old permits. Joysts reads everything, extracting every system, date, model number, cost, and repair into a clean, structured record — in minutes, not hours.

Step 02

Public records, pulled in automatically.

Your parcel map. Lot lines. Recorded permits. Zoning. Tax history. We pull in publicly available data about your property and merge it into your home record, so when you need it, it's already there.

Step 03

Ask anything about your home.

When was the HVAC installed? Do I need a permit to add a deck? What did we pay the roofer in 2023? Is my well due for testing? Joysts answers questions about your actual home, grounded in your actual documents. Not generic advice from the internet.

When was the HVAC installed, and is it due for service?
Your HVAC system (Carrier 59TP6) was installed in March 2009. The last recorded service was October 2022, so based on the manufacturer interval it's due for a tune-up.

Step 04

Keep building the record.

Every project, every repair, every system upgrade gets added. Photos, costs, contractors, warranties, permits. Your home gets smarter every year. And when you sell, you hand the next owner the most complete record of any house on the market.

The problem

Your home generates documents. You lose track of them.

Most of it lives in email, file cabinets, glove compartments, and memory. When you need it — for a permit, a sale, an insurance claim, or a refinance — you're starting from scratch.

Use cases

Built for the moments that actually matter.

Pulling a permit.

Adding a deck, finishing a basement, or building an ADU? Joysts surfaces your existing recorded permits, shows your parcel boundaries and zoning, and walks you through what your city or county will likely require, so you walk in prepared, not guessing.

Planning a remodel.

Before you call contractors, Joysts helps you scope. What systems are affected. What permits you'll need. What your previous projects cost. What questions to ask. You start the conversation as an informed homeowner, not a target.

Maintaining what you own.

Get reminders for what your home needs, based on the systems you actually have. HVAC service. Septic pumping. Roof checks. Water heater flush. Joysts knows when each system was installed and when it's due for what.

Selling or refinancing.

When it's time to sell or refinance, Joysts generates a complete home report: every system, every project, every permit, every document. Buyers and lenders trust documented homes. So do appraisers.

The Joysts difference

Joysts understands your home, not just any home.

Generic AI gives generic advice. Joysts works from your home's actual documents: your inspection, your permits, your records, your project history. It cites what it knows, shows you where it came from, and tells you when it isn't sure. You stay in control.

Why this matters now

The most expensive thing you'll ever own. The least organized.

The average American home is over 40 years old. The average owner has no record of when major systems were installed, what's been repaired, what permits exist, or what's coming next.

Meanwhile, the cost of being uninformed is going up. Insurance carriers reward documented homes. Buyers pay more for documented homes. Cities require more documentation for projects. The homeowners who treat their home as a managed asset — not a stack of papers — are the ones who come out ahead.
