Why Pitch In exists
In a lot of homes, one person carries the whole house in their head: the bills and when they’re due, whose turn it is to take out the trash, what’s left for groceries this month, what everyone needs for the weekend away. It works until that person is tired, or away, or simply wants to stop being the only one who remembers.
The tools that exist each hold one piece. Money apps are built for the one person who does the books, and everyone else finds out what happened when somebody tells them. Chore charts don’t know what’s due this week. The family calendar doesn’t know either. So it all still lives in one person’s head, and the group text.
Pitch In puts all of it in one place the whole household can see and help with. Chores have names on them. The calendar knows what’s coming. Everyone who lives there gets their own sign-in, and the grown-ups decide what each person sees: a partner sees everything, a teenager sees their chores and the one account you chose to share, not the mortgage.
What we promise
- Your household is private. Each one is walled off by the database itself, and we can’t see inside yours. How that works.
- No ads, no selling your data. The only way Pitch In makes money is a plan you choose to pay for.
- What you type stays free. Paying adds your bank doing the typing; it never takes away what’s already yours.
- It keeps getting better, in the open. Everything that changes is written down.
Who makes it
Pitch In is made independently by David Elliott, in Michigan. He built it for the household he helps run, and uses it there every day, which is why it changes every week: each change is written down. When you write to hello@pitchin.house, he’s the one who writes back.
