You said "how hard could it be." HomeWrecker is here for you. Whether you're replacing a faucet or "just quickly" renovating the kitchen, every home project deserves a fighting chance. HomeWrecker keeps your chaos organized so you can focus on the part where things go sideways anyway. PROJECTS One place for everything about a job - to-dos, supplies, costs, photos, dates, and notes. All of it, together, not scattered across three apps and a sticky note on the fridge. TO-DOS Break a project into actual steps. Set priorities, add due dates, and check things off. The taps are satisfying. That part we can guarantee. SUPPLIES & COSTS Track what you need, what you have, and what it's all costing you. Because "I'll remember" is how you end up with three boxes of the wrong screws. SHOPPING LIST See every unacquired supply from every active project in one consolidated list. Actually get everything in one trip. Theoretically. PHOTOS Document the progress β or the carnage. Photos sync across your devices via iCloud so nothing gets lost, even when everything else does. WORKS EVERYWHERE iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Syncs automatically across all your Apple devices. The free version lets you manage one active project at a time - perfectly reasonable if you have healthy ambitions. Upgrade to HomeWrecker Pro for unlimited simultaneous projects. Your data is always yours. If you ever cancel Pro, your existing projects remain accessible and you stay in control of which one is active.
