The operating system for modern living.
Houex is a free, calm toolkit for your home. Sketch your rooms, run the calculators that turn measurements into real plans, schedule the maintenance that protects what you own, and read guides that answer real questions instead of selling something.
Principle
Tools first
Calculators, planners, and schedulers — not magazine content.
Principle
Local-first
Your inputs live in your browser. No accounts. No data harvesting.
Principle
Real math, no AI
Practical answers from clear math, not from a chatbot.
What we build
Calculators that produce real numbers. Planners that respect your room's actual dimensions. Maintenance schedules that work seasonally. Guides that answer real decisions instead of optimizing for search.
What we don't do
Email walls. Auto-playing video tutorials. AI-generated copy. Stock photo galleries with no source credit. Generic top-10 listicles that don't commit to an answer.
How it's built
Next.js 16 App Router, Tailwind v4 design tokens, MDX content engine with Velite schema enforcement, Pagefind static search, self-hosted on a single VPS. The whole site is one repository, deploys on every push to main, and renders ~530 static pages.
Start with a real tool.
The Room Planner is the fastest way to feel what Houex is for — sketch a room, save the URL, and hand the dimensions to the Paint and Flooring tools without retyping anything.
