## What is Breaker Box?

Stop guessing which breaker controls what.

Whether you're a homeowner mapping a single panel or an electrician documenting multiple buildings, Breaker Box gives you a complete directory for every circuit — and lets you print a professional legend to match.

LABEL EVERY CIRCUIT
Assign notes, rooms, and fixtures to each breaker. Tandem splits, multi-pole circuits, GFCI outlets, and HACR systems all supported. Track wire gauge and size. Use custom phase colors for 1-, 2-, and 3-phase panels.

ORGANIZE BY ROOM
Link circuits to the rooms and fixtures they control — so you always know which breaker to flip, in seconds.

PDF LEGENDS
Export to PDF, sized to fit a panel sleeve or tape to the door. Adjust font scale per label for a professional result.

MULTI-PANEL SUPPORT
Manage multiple panels across one or more properties. Link breakers to sub-panels.

### 5/5 — Does a great job

*2026-03-14, version 2.3.3*

Easy to figure out and produces great documentation. Recommended

### 5/5 — A great app to manage your breaker panel and electricals.

*2026-02-17, version 2.2.0*

I’ve been using this app for several years now, and the author keeps making improvements.  After documenting my last home with help from this tool, I was able to see and finally understand why certain outlets and fixtures were always giving me issues.  With the data I provided, my electrician was able to quickly find and correct several wiring faults that a previous DIY owner of the home had introduced. The app has been worth every penny.  I’ve passed this panel data on to my son, who bought that house from me, and now I’m busy mapping our newly purchased retirement home!

### 5/5 — Finally, a circuit breaker mapping app!

*2025-12-31, version 2.1.2*

I’ve been searching for this kind of app for a while but did not find one or a good one until now.  Breaker box is an incredibly well thought out app. It has many options and configurations to meet the various different style of breaker boxes and breakers out there. I highly recommend this app.

One thing that would be nice is to be able to add fixtures from the room view so that the room could be automatically selected.  Also, to be able to add short names for rooms a fixture types as well as descriptions for each as well.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-12-29, version 2.1.2*

Exactly what I was looking for to document the changes in a panel during my remodel.  Thank you!

### 1/5 — Can’t get started.

*2025-12-16, version 2.1.2*

I tried to add a panel. After filling in every field (i think!), it wouldn’t let me add. Half the advanced settings I had no idea what to put. Not necessary for me. Just want to record what outlets and switches and light are on which circuit…

### 5/5 — Essential

*2025-12-04, version 2.1.2*

Great app.  I moved into a house with 4 unlabeled panels.   This is perfect app to log as I learn and label.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2025-11-24, version 2.1.2*

App is very useful for tracking a large breaker and a second panel

### 5/5 — Great app all around

*2025-11-10, version 2.1.2*

Pros: 
The ability to label all breakers, and able to create your own custom labels as well. Also able to create custom rooms. 
Shows/make individual amp sizes for breakers.
The ability to color coat breakers for your own benefit.
The ability to split a single pole, or combine two poles to make one breaker.
The ability to print out all information, including the breaker layout.
Able to use on multiple devices if logged into the same Apple account. Was able to restore purchase on another device and sync between the two devices, without having to pay twice (sign up required with email). 

Cons:
Unable to find any yet.

### 5/5 — Great app but iCloud sync does not work

*2025-10-11, version 2.1.2*

Great app but I paid for the pro version, installed it on both my iPhone and iPad, mapped out my breaker boxes on my iPhone, sync’d my iPhone to iCloud asking it to upload local data to iCloud, opened up the iPad version and asked it to overwrite local data with iCloud, but nothing happened. I would write the developer but he only seems to be on twitter which I don’t use.

Changed five stars due to the quick response from the developer

Many thanks!

### 5/5 — Essential

*2025-09-14, version 2.1.2*

This is an essential tool for homeowners and DIYers. This has replaced my old, inaccurate panel sticker and sharpie annotated breakers. The developer has been very responsive, and it is well worth buying to support future development.
