Roost

QR storage labels, home maintenance reminders, and a searchable binder for your whole house.

Frequently asked questions

How do the QR labels work?

Give a box a number in Roost, then print its QR label (any AirPrint printer — choose Small, Medium, or Large on the label screen). Stick it on the box. Scanning it with Roost's built-in scanner opens that box instantly. Everything happens on your device; the codes work with no internet connection.

Where is my data stored?

On your device. If iCloud Sync is on (Settings inside Roost), your data also syncs through your own private iCloud to your other devices. It never touches our servers — we don't have any.

Can my spouse or family use it?

Roost is a one-time purchase with Family Sharing enabled, so everyone in your App Store family group can download it with one purchase. Each person keeps their own data in their own iCloud.

How do I remove the example data?

Roost ships with sample boxes, reminders, and house info so you can explore. Remove any or all of it in Settings → Example data. Anything you added yourself always stays.

I only want to use part of the app.

Settings → Pages lets you hide Reminders, Boxes, or House. Hidden pages keep their data and can be turned back on anytime.

Why aren't my due-date alerts showing?

Turn on "Due-date alerts" in Settings inside Roost, and make sure notifications are allowed for Roost in iOS Settings → Notifications. Alerts arrive the morning a task is due.
