HouseManual

Every home has knowledge that lives in one person's head. Where the water shuts off. Which breaker is the garage. What paint is on the hallway wall. When the filter was last changed. HouseManual is where that knowledge goes — and it stays on your phone. WHAT IT DOES • Document a shutoff in under a minute. Two photos, where it is, and a note in your own words. Then it is there at 2am when you need it, in three taps, with no signal. • Keep the details you always have to look up. Model and serial numbers, manuals, warranties, paint colours and codes, flooring, filter sizes, who you called last time and whether they were any good. • Find manufacturer manuals and transfer instructions by make and model, or attach the digital files you already trust. HouseManual keeps the source visible so you can confirm that a document really matches the item in your home. • Get reminded before things are due, not after. Filters, detectors, the annual service. Every reminder is editable, and none of it pretends to be professional advice. • Hand it over properly. When you sell, rent out, or leave someone in charge, HouseManual produces a real handover: a printable buyer packet, or a file they can import into their own copy. PRIVACY IS A FEATURE, NOT A PROMISE Every record you create is marked Owner Only, Household, or Transferable. Before anything is handed over, you review exactly what is going — record by record — and nothing marked Owner Only can be included. Not by accident, not by a setting you missed. Apple or Google sign-in protects access. HouseManual's account service receives only the identity and licensing metadata needed for that access—never the contents of your home manual. Your records remain local and work offline after your secure session is restored. Optional automatic backup goes only to iCloud or Google Drive when you turn that destination on. A complete manual backup and restore stay available whenever you need them. WHAT WE WILL NOT STORE No passwords. No alarm codes. No lock combinations. No Wi-Fi keys. There is no field for them anywhere in the app, and there never will be. Where you need to remember that a secret exists, you record where you keep it — not the secret. FREE AND PRO Free covers one home, unlimited critical shutoffs and controls, ten appliances, basic reminders, and a summary PDF. Pro adds unlimited appliances and photos, warranties and service history, finishes and consumables, your contractor directory, the full buyer packet, a privacy-reviewed transfer file for the recipient, and multiple homes. Choose a one-time lifetime purchase, annual subscription, or monthly subscription. All three unlock the same Pro features. If Pro ever lapses, everything you created stays visible, editable, and exportable. We do not hold your own home records hostage. SAFETY HouseManual does not tell you how to do dangerous work. It tells you where things are and what you wrote down. Anything hazardous points you at the labels, the manual, and a qualified professional. If there is gas, fire, or immediate danger, the app tells you to leave and call from a safe place — it does not send you looking for a valve.
