What Homewarden does
Homewarden is the offline home-maintenance and appliance log built for the people who just learned the hard way that cloud home apps can vanish overnight — Centriq shut down on January 31, 2025 and deleted every user's photos, manuals, and receipts, leaving only a CSV of model numbers. Homewarden is the opposite by design: 100% on-device, no account, no subscription, no company that can delete your data. What Homewarden does: — Appliance log. Snap the model/serial plate on your furnace, fridge, or water heater — VisionKit OCR pulls the model and serial number into a record. Attach a photo of the manual and the receipt. — Seasonal maintenance reminders. A bundled checklist (change HVAC filter, test smoke detectors, flush water heater, clean gutters) sets local reminders by season. Tweak to your home. — Room-by-room organization. Group everything by room. Find the dishwasher's model number in two taps when it breaks at 9pm. — Warranty + filter tracker. Record warranty end dates and filter sizes; get reminded before a warranty lapses or a filter is overdue. — The home binder PDF. One tap exports a full PDF — every appliance, model/serial, warranty, manual reference — for insurance, a house sale, or your own records. — Stays on this phone. No cloud, no analytics, no account. Survives any company shutdown because there's no company in the loop. For the 88 million owner-occupied US households — and especially the Centriq refugees who never want to lose their home records again.

Why it exists
The problem
Homeowners track appliances, model/serial numbers, warranties, and seasonal maintenance in cloud apps that can vanish — Centriq shut down Jan 2025 and deleted all user photos/manuals/receipts. They need a permanent on-device record.
What's different
How Homewarden stands out
Homewarden is the only home-maintenance app that stores everything 100% on-device (survives any vendor shutdown — the exact thing that killed Centriq), uses VisionKit OCR to capture appliance model/serial plates, ships bundled seasonal-maintenance reminders, and exports a home-binder PDF — HomeZada is $79-99/yr and 'o…
