Habyn brings your home's records, condition, maintenance history and upcoming expenses together, so you know what to do, when to do it and what it may cost.

Every figure shows where it came from, and says when it is an estimate.
Your biggest investment shouldn't come with so many unknowns.
You may know what you paid for your home. But do you know when the roof was replaced, which warranties still apply, or what major expenses could be coming? That information is scattered across inspections, builder documents, receipts, emails and memory. Habyn helps bring it together before decisions become urgent.

One property record
Documents stay documents. Facts become facts you can act on.
Know what to do. Know when. Plan for the cost.
A record is only worth keeping if it answers real questions. These are the three it is built to answer.
Understand your home
Systems, appliances, documents and repair history, organised around the property instead of scattered across drawers, inboxes and memory.
ExploreSee what needs attention
Known issues, warranties and maintenance windows, with the source of each detail and any uncertainty shown clearly rather than hidden.
ExplorePlan ahead
Your next significant expense, with indicative timing and ranges where the data supports them. No invented precision.
ExploreA living record that gets more useful over time.
- 01
Start a record
Add the home and the basics you already know. It takes minutes, and you can fill in the rest as you go.
- 02
Connect its story
Add inspections, builder documents, receipts, appliances and repairs. Each one makes the record, and what it can tell you, sharper.
- 03
Make better decisions
Use the record on the days it matters: a repair, a renewal, an insurance claim, a renovation or a sale.
What the record shows you once it is yours.
Three views on the same home: the condition it is in, the work that is coming, and what that work is likely to ask of you.
The cards below illustrate how each view is presented. Habyn is in beta and the values shown are sample data.
Home Health, system by system
Every system and appliance with its age, its condition and its service history, so "when did we last replace that?" has an answer instead of a shrug.
Maintenance you can see coming
Service intervals, warranty windows and typical service life, turned into a schedule. The next job becomes one you planned rather than one that picked its own moment.
Upcoming expenses, before they land
What the home is likely to ask for next, with indicative timing and ranges where the data supports them, so a big replacement meets a reserve instead of a credit card.
From the first offer to the years after the keys.
Renting it out is a stage in your home's life, not a different product. The record carries through.
Buying a home
Start the record before the place is yours: what the inspection found, what was disclosed, and what you are taking on.
Building a home
Keep the plans, permits, specifications and warranty paperwork from a new build together from the first day.
Owning your home
The everyday record: systems and their condition, documents, repairs as they happen, and the expenses you can see coming.
Renting it out
Add rental management when a home becomes a rental. The property's history continues in the same record, and the tenant's personal information stays separate from it.
Passing it on
Hand the property's history to the next owner without handing over your private records. This controlled handover is still in development.
Owning and renting out are available today. Buying and handover are still being built.
The people who work on your home can write into its record.
A home's history is written by many hands. Habyn is designed so their work lands in the homeowner's record instead of ending in a PDF, with the source of each detail kept visible. You stay in control of the record and of who can see it.
Home inspectors
Findings, flagged systems and the condition of the house at a point in time, carried into the record rather than left in a report nobody opens again.
For home inspectorsBuilders and PDI
Plans, permits, specifications, warranty paperwork and pre-delivery inspection items from a new build, kept together from the first day.
Contractors and trades
Work orders, invoices and what was actually done, attached to the system it was done to, so the next person is not guessing.
Home inspectors can use Habyn today: a report your client claims lands in their record. Builder and contractor contributions are in development, and we label what is built on the pages where it appears.
If you rent it out, Habyn is ready for that too.
Renting out is a stage in a home's life, so the rental side runs on the same record rather than in a separate product. The property's history continues, and the tenant's personal information stays separate from it.
Your home record is free, for every home you own. Paid plans cover the rental-management functionality once you activate it.
See the rental capabilities in detailRent and payments
Rent tracking, receipts and what is outstanding, against the right unit.
Applications and screening
Applications today. Consent-based screening with identity, income and credit checks is in development, and will stay separate from the property's record.
Leases and provincial forms
Leases, notices and tenancy forms, with your province's rules applied for you.
Tax and reporting
Rental income and expenses organised for a CRA T776, rather than reconstructed each April.
Trust
Your home has a history. Your private information has boundaries.
The record can carry a building's history forward. What belongs to you personally does not travel with it.
What travels with the home
Systems and their ages, maintenance and repair history, warranty terms, inspection findings, documents about the building.
What stays with you
Credit reports, screening decisions, identity and income documents, your own purchase analysis, mortgage and banking records.
You decide what is shared
Access is scoped to the work a person is doing. A professional contributing to the record does not get your financial information.
Nothing transfers by itself
A controlled handover would concern property history only. That capability is still in development, and nothing here depends on it.
How the record is protected
Encryption in transit and at rest, access scoped per resource, and a security page that states what is built rather than what is planned.
A connected ecosystem around the home
Habyn is building the connective layer between homeowners and the services they need - from insurance to contractors.
One record, kept for as long as you own the home.
A home's history is written by many hands over many years. Inspectors, builders, contractors, insurers and owners each hold a piece of it, and almost none of it ends up in one place.
Habyn is meant to be that place. The record starts with what you already know, grows as work is done and decisions are made, and stays with the home through every stage of owning it.
One home. One evolving record.
Guides and market intelligence
Condo vs Freehold: The Real Cost and Control Difference
Condo fees look like the obvious downside of a condo and the obvious win for a freehold. The truth is more balanced: one is forced savings plus management, the other is control plus lumpy, do-it-yourself costs. Here is how to compare them honestly.
Subletting and Lease Assignment in Ontario: The Rules
Subletting and assignment get confused constantly, and the difference decides your rights. The myth that a landlord can simply say no is also wrong. Here is how both actually work in Ontario, including the 7-day rule that lets a tenant leave early.
Which Home Renovations Need a Building Permit in Ontario
The most expensive renovation mistake is skipping a permit you needed. In Ontario the thresholds are more standardized than people think, but you get the permit from your municipality, and electrical work is a separate track entirely. Here is what needs one, what does not, and why it matters.
Turning Your Home Into a Rental: Tax, Insurance, and Change of Use
Keeping your old home as a rental instead of selling can be a smart move, but it is not just handing over the keys. A change of use can trigger a tax event with no sale, your insurance and mortgage need attention, and you become a landlord. Here is what to handle first.
