Moving into a new place? We got you.

Nido turns the overwhelm of moving into a calm, AI-generated plan: a complete, room-by-room shopping checklist with real prices — prioritized, budget-tracked, and including the stuff people forget until 11pm on move-in night.

The Problem

The 11pm plunger panic

Moving into a first apartment or new home is genuinely stressful: you don't actually know everything you need, you forget essentials until the worst possible moment, you blow past your budget without realizing it, and coordinating who-buys-what with roommates is chaos.

Generic printable checklists don't know your place, your taste, or your budget. Nido replaces them with a personalized, budget-aware plan generated in seconds — and it remembers the plunger.

How It Works

From new keys to a complete plan

Three steps, sixty seconds, no spreadsheet.

01

Tell us about your place

A 60-second quiz — apartment or house, bedrooms and baths, your budget.

02

Get your AI checklist

AI generates every item you need, by room, with real prices and priorities — including the stuff people forget.

03

Shop, track & collaborate

Track spend against budget, paste product links, invite roommates, and catalog what you already own.

The Model

Two pillars, one shared home

A pill toggle switches between what you need to buy and what you already own — and the two stay perfectly in sync.

Shopping

The AI essentials checklist — what you need to buy for the new place, by room, with prices, budgets, and paste-a-link entry.

Move Tracker

Catalog and pack what you already own — photograph items with Claude Vision, pack them into QR-coded bins, and never re-buy something you have.

Pillar 1 · Shopping

A plan that knows your place and your budget

Shopping · Room by room

The whole home, room by room

Every room gets its own checklist, budget, and progress bar — bedrooms, baths, kitchen, living room, office — with a bird's-eye view of completion and spend across the entire place.

  • Per-room budgets & progress
  • Completion % at a glance
  • Add or rename rooms anytime

Shopping · Budget intelligence

AI picks that respect your budget

Nido tracks spend against your stated budget in real time and, when you're heading over, surfaces cheaper alternatives that still match your style — “Nido found $340 in savings across your items.”

  • Real-time spend vs. budget
  • Style-matched cheaper swaps
  • Learns your brands & aesthetic

Shopping · Inside a room

Items, prices, priorities — and paste-a-link

Inside a room, every item carries a real price and priority, and the commonly-forgotten essentials are already there. Paste any product URL and Nido auto-fills the name, image, price, and retailer into the right room.

  • Realistic prices & priorities
  • Forgotten essentials included
  • Paste-a-link auto-fill
Pillar 2 · Move Tracker

Know what you own, and where it's packed

Catalog what you already own

The Move Tracker is the second pillar: photograph and catalog the things you already have, so you never re-buy them. Owned items auto-mark as “have” on the shopping checklist and adjust the budget.

  • Pack progress across every room
  • Owned items drop off the buy list
  • One shared home & room model

Move Tracker · Bins & QR

Every box knows what's inside it

Pack items into bins; each bin gets a QR code and a 5-digit serial. Scan the QR or type the serial to see exactly what's inside — sealed or still packing — and find anything on move-in day.

  • Per-bin QR code + serial
  • Sealed vs. packing states
  • Search across every box

Open a box without opening the box

Each bin's detail view lists its contents, room, and container type, with a serial for quick lookup — so the question “which box is the coffee maker in?” has an instant answer.

  • Full contents per bin
  • Quick serial lookup
  • Room & container tracked
The Centerpiece

One data model. Two pillars, always reconciled.

Shopping and Moving share one home/room model and stay in sync through a bidirectional event engine — the real state-management problem at the heart of Nido.

Need to buy
Shopping checklist + budget
Already own
Move Tracker + bins
Claude Vision
One photo can hold several items — a bed + mattress, a desk + monitor + lamp — each identified separately, then auto-marked “have.”
Bidirectional sync
Scan an owned item → it flips to “have” and adjusts the budget; delete it → reverts to “need.” Rooms added in either mode appear in both.
23 edge cases
Duplicates, multi-item photos, offline use, and bin re-opening — each change confirmed with a subtle toast and undo.
Share & Built Mobile-First

A group move, coordinated — on the phone in your hand

Invite roommates or a partner, assign items, split costs, and track who's buying what — turning a messy group move into one coordinated plan.

And it's built mobile-first, working cleanly down to 375px, because the whole thing happens while you're standing in an empty apartment with your phone.

The Look

A warm “nest,” the opposite of moving stress

“Nido” means nest. The whole brand is calm and reassuring — terracotta and sage on warm cream, with a single animated chat-thread landing page that tells the product story conversationally.

Have a consumer app idea that needs real AI under the hood?

Nido is our own venture — AI generation, Claude Vision, and a real bidirectional sync engine, built end to end. That's the depth we build for clients. Let's map yours.
