Jack's View
Read full descriptionHide full description
Jack's View is the home documentation app built for homeowners who care about their home the way a craftsman cares about their work. YOUR HOME HAS A STORY. JACK HELPS YOU TELL IT. Most homeowners lose track of what's been done, when, and by whom. Receipts disappear. Memories fade. And when it's time to sell — or something breaks — the record is gone. Jack's View gives your home a memory. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log repairs, renovations, and maintenance in seconds • Upload receipts, invoices, permits, and photos • Track major equipment with age, history, and lifecycle hints • Organize projects from first idea to final invoice • Store closing documents, insurance policies, and warranties • Get a Jack's Score — a real measure of how well-documented your home is ASK JACK ANYTHING Jack is your AI home guide. He knows your home because you've told him about it. Ask him: "What did we pay for the roof replacement?" "When was the water heater installed?" "Who did the HVAC service last year?" "What's my deductible?" Jack reads your documents, searches your records, and answers in plain language. No digging through folders. BUILT WITH INTEGRITY Jack's View is named in honor of Giacomo "Jack" Millefolie — a Sicilian immigrant, master craftsman, and father of nine who could do it all: woodworking, plumbing, electrical, masonry. His work ethic, fueled by love and devotion to family, is the spirit this product carries forward. Your home deserves that same care. Jack's View helps you give it. FEATURES - AI-powered home assistant (Jack) - Journal entries with photo and document attachments - Equipment inventory with lifecycle tracking - Home score and documentation health - Project management - Secure document storage - Home Chronicle — a shareable record of your home's history - Monthly digest with personalized insights
