Filter Log is the household filter tracker that isn't locked to a brand. Record every filter in your home — HVAC, refrigerator, range hood, vacuum, humidifier, water pitcher, car cabin — set the replacement cadence, and get a local reminder the day each one is due. Every filter has a photo, brand, size, and where-to-buy link. Filter Log also tracks how many spares you have on hand, so you know to reorder before you're standing in front of an empty vent on a Sunday morning. No smart hardware required. No account to sign up for. Nothing leaves your device.
