The questions people ask after reading a launch article, answered straight.
Not at launch. Hint shipped first on iOS, which is the usual play for a brand-new consumer app, and Android may follow later.
Dib runs on iOS, Android, and any web browser, and everything syncs across all three. That matters more than it sounds for a home app, because a house rarely contains just one kind of phone. If you're on iPhone and your partner is on a Pixel, you can both add to the same home from day one.
Hint is free to download and use. According to public reporting around the launch, it plans to make money through referral fees from home services providers, insurers, and similar partners.
That's a completely normal business model, but it's worth understanding before you rely on an app's recommendations. When referrals pay the bills, the app earns the most when you get referred somewhere.
Dib is a free plan plus an optional Pro subscription. That's the whole model. Nobody pays us to appear in your app, so a recommendation is just a recommendation.
It's the emerging name for software that knows things about your specific house rather than just storing notes about it. The bar is whether the app can answer real questions: what filter fits this HVAC, when does this warranty expire, has anything here been recalled, when was the furnace last serviced.
Dib approaches that by building a record of your actual home. You snap photos, Dib reads the labels and receipts, indexes the manuals, watches recall databases, and then answers questions in plain English from your own data.
Hint is aimed squarely at the new homeowner who just got the keys and realizes they know almost nothing about the building they now own. That's a real problem and a good place to aim.
Dib solves the same problem, with one difference: Home Quest walks you through documenting the things that matter most first, including where the water shutoff is, what's in the breaker panel, and which appliances are still under warranty. You get a prepared home instead of a to-do list, and you can start on whatever device is already in your hand.
Sure. They're free to try, and plenty of people run more than one app while they figure out which one sticks. Nothing stops you from keeping Hint for lawn and property guidance while Dib handles your inventory, manuals, recalls, and vehicles.
If you do consolidate later, Dib exports a full copy of your records anytime, so you're never stuck. We built that import and export path for people migrating off other home apps, and it works just as well in the other direction.
iOS and Android apps in the stores today. Web on your laptop. Everything synced, instantly.

Everything you need to know about choosing between Hint and Dib.
Hint is a new home intelligence app cofounded by Martha Stewart, Yih-Han Ma, and Kyle Rush that launched in summer 2026. It pulls publicly available data about your house and is aimed at new homeowners. Dib is the AI-powered home management app that's already available on iOS, Android, and the web with a free plan.
Hint launched on iOS. Dib runs on iOS, Android, and the web, with everything synced across devices.
According to public reporting, Hint is free and plans to monetize through referral fees from home services providers, insurers, and more. Dib has a free plan and an optional Pro subscription, so our recommendations aren't tied to referral commissions. When you're our customer, we work for you.
Three reasons. Dib runs on whatever phone or laptop you already own, not just iOS. Dib already ships Smart Add photo intake, automatic manuals, recall alerts, and vehicles, while Hint is just getting started. And Dib is paid for by homeowners, not by referral fees from the companies trying to sell to you.
Yes. Inventory, manuals, warranties, receipts, recalls, vehicles, family sharing, and reminders are all on the free plan. Pro adds AI features like chat with your home and Smart Add. Pro is optional.
Recall monitoring across CPSC and NHTSA. Vehicles with VIN decode, mileage, and service history. Smart Add photo intake that reads labels and barcodes. Conversational manuals. Emergency prep with shutoff locations. And it all runs on Android and the web, not just iOS.
Hint launched in summer 2026. It was cofounded by Martha Stewart along with Yih-Han Ma, who led home services at Red Ventures, and Kyle Rush, formerly of Casper. It was incubated at Montauk Capital and has raised $10 million from investors including Slow Ventures, Tusk Venture Partners, and Brian Kelly.
Dib. It covers the same core job of understanding and maintaining your home, and it's already available on iOS, Android, and the web with a free plan. Dib adds Smart Add photo intake, conversational manuals, CPSC and NHTSA recall monitoring, vehicles, emergency prep, and full data export.
Yes. Both have free tiers, and nothing stops you from trying both while you decide. Dib lets you export a complete copy of your home records anytime, so you're never locked in either way.
Yes. Dib is on the Apple App Store and Google Play today, and it also runs in any web browser. Everything syncs across all three, so your household isn't forced onto one kind of phone.
Yes, that's one of the main things Dib is built for. Home Quest walks you through documenting what matters first, like where the water and gas shutoffs are, what's in the breaker panel, and which appliances are still under warranty, so you learn your house instead of just filing paperwork about it.
