Our take: Hint suits homeowners who want an iPhone app that builds a picture of their house from an address, organizes its documents, and flags what needs attention each season.
Main limitation: It is available on the App Store only, with Google Play marked coming soon, and no pricing or privacy policy page could be fetched.

What is Hint (Home Intelligence), and how does it work?
Hint is a homeownership app co-founded by Martha Stewart. After you enter an address, it assembles details such as the home's age, climate, soil and flood risk, and builds a seasonal maintenance plan.
Users can share inspection reports, insurance policies and bills, which the app reads and keeps in one library. It also offers guidance on problems, projects and quotes, per the official site.
