Home Manual

The manual your home never came with. One warm, always-current reference for a home — its systems, upkeep, projects and records — built once and shared with the people who live there.

What it is

Every home has a manual — it's just scattered. Paint colors on a can in the garage, the furnace model on a sticker, the plumber's number in someone's phone. Home Manual gathers it into one reference that stays current as the home changes.

It starts with your address. The manual grows from there, one photo and one record at a time.

What's inside

  • Systems: the furnace, water heater, panel and appliances, with what each needs.
  • Upkeep: the maintenance a home asks for, and when.
  • Projects and records: what was done, by whom, and what it cost.
  • Floor plans, photos and contacts in the same place.
  • Sharing: a link for family, and a card for a sitter or a guest.

Where it stands

The web app is live at thehomemanual.ai, and anyone can sign up. An iPhone app is in testing; it isn't in the App Store yet.
