Our story

Built for the renter
the industry forgot.

This started with a Sunday night, a messy flat, and a very long manual.

"Your home should work harder than you do. That's what we're here to help with."
— The Simple AI Living manifesto
01
Simplicity

If you need a YouTube tutorial to set it up, we don't recommend it.

02
Calm

No pop-ups on first visit. No autoplay video. The site is the brand.

03
Privacy

Your home is your most private space. We treat it that way.

04
Human-first

Technology earns its place by improving human experience, not by being impressive.

05
Sustainability

We include payback calculations in every review and deprioritise fast-fashion gadgetry.

Our Promise

"We only write about something after 14 days of daily use. If it's not worth your money, we say so. If it didn't survive the novelty wearing off, it doesn't make the list."

The SAL Score — our 5-dimension review standard

Every product we review is scored on five dimensions — not just 'is it good?' but 'is it good for the specific situation our readers are in?' A device can be excellent in general and wrong for a renter. The SAL Score makes that clear.
