A small team in London
We're building the thing we wanted and couldn't find: somewhere the boring, important details of a household can live, that isn't one person's memory.
Why it exists
One person always ends up holding it
Not because anyone decided they should. It lands on whoever noticed first, and then it stays there: the renewal dates, the vet's number, which week the bins change, what the school has on file. None of it is difficult. All of it has to be somewhere, and for most households that somewhere is a person.
We wanted a place to put it that the whole household could reach, that didn't need maintaining, and that spoke up before something mattered rather than after. That turned out not to exist, so we built it.
What we've decided against
The decisions that are hard to reverse
Some choices are difficult to undo once a product has made them, so we made them early and wrote them down.
No advertising, ever
Which is why Oosby will be something you pay for. How that works →
Nothing that shouts
No streaks, no badges, no notification that exists to bring you back. An app you have to mute has already failed.
The sensitive parts stay shut
Encrypted so that only your household can open them, which means we can't, and neither can anyone who asks us nicely. The mechanism →
We're early, and it shows in places
Oosby is in beta. Some of it is genuinely good and some of it is a first attempt, and the households using it now are the reason we can tell which is which. If something is wrong, or missing, or annoying, we would rather hear it than not.
