Keep a clear record between utility bills. MeterDocket is a free, local-first utility meter log for manually recording electricity, water, gas, heat, solar and custom meters. No account, subscription or provider connection is required. READ AND RECORD QUICKLY • Create separate meters for a home, rental, workspace or other property • Record a manual value, date and note • Add an optional meter photo through the system document picker • Keep a correction trail when a reading changes SEE THE CHANGE OVER TIME • Review usage deltas between readings • Compare weekly, monthly or custom periods • See average and daily usage trends from your own records • Record both import and export channels on one meter where applicable KEEP ESTIMATES HONEST • Add your own multiplier and tariff when useful • Review clearly labelled cost estimates based on the values you entered • Change the rate when your circumstances change • Treat every estimate as a personal reference, not a bill forecast REMEMBER THE NEXT READING • Create optional local reminders • Choose the schedule yourself • Review due readings from Overview • Edit or remove a reminder at any time OWN YOUR RECORDS • Search and filter reading history • Edit or delete entries with a brief undo option • Export CSV for a spreadsheet • Create a readable text summary • Make a structured JSON backup • Validate backup structure before restoring local records FREE MEANS FREE Every MeterDocket feature is available without a paid download, in-app purchase, subscription, trial or paywall. The app is supported by conservative advertising. A rewarded ad is always optional and changes only a temporary decorative theme; it never unlocks a functional feature. There are no interstitial ads. IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES MeterDocket records values entered by you. It does not connect to a utility provider, read a meter automatically, perform OCR, verify a tariff, detect a fault, provide energy or financial advice, or promise bill accuracy. Cost figures are estimates from your entries. Check your provider statement and official information when accuracy matters. Build a portable household meter history without giving up your records or paying to enter the next reading.
