Privacy and technical details
Browser access
Runs in your browser at app.ownerkits.com and can be installed like an app. No account or password.
Offline use
Works offline after the first load and license activation. Internet is needed to activate, to update, and for an occasional license re-check.
Your data
Your business data is stored on your device. OwnerKits never receives it in readable form: device sync, which is on by default and can be turned off, is end-to-end encrypted with a key that only your devices have. The license check sends only your license key, a random device ID and a device label.
Backup
Create .bizkit backup files any time (optional password encryption) and restore them on any computer. Built-in Google Drive backup is coming soon.
Excel
Export your whole business to one Excel workbook, edit it, and import it back with a preview, validation and conflict review.
Devices
One cleaning business on up to 5 devices. End-to-end encrypted sync (on by default) keeps your devices up to date, and we can't read the synced data; without it, each device keeps its own copy.

FAQ

Cleaning business questions

Buying, downloads, refunds and how the app keeps your data: see all questions

How do I work out my hourly rate for house cleaning?

Use the Pricing Calculator workbook in the kit. It helps you work out your hourly rate and your standard prices for the jobs you offer. Then use those prices when you send your first quote in the app.

Does it work for house cleaning and commercial cleaning?

Yes. The kit is built for a residential or commercial cleaning business. It fits solo cleaners and small cleaning teams, whether you are just starting or already running.

Is there a room-by-room house cleaning checklist?

Yes. You get 23 room-by-room and job checklists, plus 20 step-by-step SOPs. Print them, or use the checklists inside the app, so every job is done the same way.

Does it include a walkthrough form for new cleaning clients?

Yes. The 10 customer forms include intake, walkthrough and feedback forms. They are ready to print or send, and each one has an editable Word version.

Does it include marketing ideas for a cleaning business?

Yes. The marketing toolkit has a 30-day plan, 100 ideas and a local ad kit. You also get 270 social media posts and ideas to adapt.

Can I put my cleaning business name on the templates?

Yes. Replace anything in [BRACKETS] in the Word files with your own details. You can edit and rebrand the templates for your own business, but not resell or share them.
