The problem
Your home’s history is scattered across a hundred places.
The water heater’s install date is on a faded sticker in the garage. The dishwasher manual is in a drawer, or a landfill. The paint color is a guess. When something breaks, or a buyer asks, you piece it together from memory and old email.
01
The junk drawer
Manuals and warranty cards you will never find in time.
02
Your inbox
Receipts buried under a year of other email.
03
Your memory
The one place a service date should never live.
HomeAlmanac gives all of it a single, calm home.
What it does
One place for the work, the records, and the reminders.
HomeAlmanac handles the two halves of owning a home: the upkeep you need to stay ahead of, and the paperwork you need to keep. Here is how it helps.
Maintenance on a schedule that thinks
Seasonal and recurring tasks build themselves around your home. Furnace filter every three months, gutters in the fall, detector batteries each spring. You get a nudge before a task is due, not a pile of chores after.
A home health score
One number tells you how caught up you are. Tap it to see what is overdue, what is coming, and what to do first.
Every document, instantly searchable
Manuals, warranties, receipts, and inspection reports live in one vault. Full-text search finds the line you need, even inside a scanned PDF.
Scan a nameplate, skip the typing
Point your camera at an appliance label. HomeAlmanac reads the model and serial number and files them for you.
Warranties that warn you in time
Track what is covered and until when. Get a heads-up before a warranty lapses, while a claim still counts.
Recall alerts for your actual appliances
HomeAlmanac checks your equipment against published safety recalls, right on your device, and tells you if one of yours is affected.
No clutter, no dashboards full of charts you will never read. Just the state of your home and the next thing worth doing.
Every manual, warranty, and receipt, searchable to the word.
Your appliances, with models, warranties, and recall checks.
A clear schedule of what is due, and when.
How it works
Set it up in minutes. Lean on it for years.

Get the right reminder at the right time, watch your health score climb, and find any detail in one search when you need it.
Why local-first
Your home’s records belong to you, not to us.
Most home apps keep your data on their servers. In 2025, a well-known one shut down and its users lost the records they had spent years building. HomeAlmanac is built the other way around. Your information stays on your iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing for us to sell, lose, or leak.
No account, ever
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and it is yours.
On your device
Your records are stored on your phone and included in your normal iPhone backup.
Your iCloud, not ours
Premium adds optional sync through your own Apple account, so even your backups stay private to you.
Never locked in
Export a full archive or a clean PDF whenever you want. Your data is always yours to take.
Pricing
Free to start. Yours to keep.
Track one home and your essential records for free, for as long as you like. Upgrade when you want unlimited records, recall alerts, and cost tracking. Or pay once and never see a subscription again.
A one-week free trial comes with Premium. Cancel anytime in Settings.
Good questions
The things people ask first.
Is my data really private?
Yes. Your records are stored on your iPhone, not on our servers. HomeAlmanac has no account system and does not track you or sell anything. We cannot see your data, because it never reaches us.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Completely. Everything you save lives on your device, so the app works the same on a plane or in a basement with no signal.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no password. You open the app and start adding your home right away.
What does the free version include?
The free version covers one home with up to 5 documents, 3 appliances, and 5 photos. It is a real, useful app on its own, not a trial that expires.
Which devices does it support?
HomeAlmanac is built for iPhone, with an iPad layout, an Apple Watch app, home screen widgets, and Siri shortcuts. It needs iOS 17 or later.
