PanelMap answers one question fast: "which breaker controls this?" Stop guessing, flipping switches, and labeling breakers with masking tape. PanelMap turns your electrical panel into a searchable map of your home, so you always know what to turn off before you touch a wire, swap an outlet, or reset a tripped breaker. HOW IT WORKS • Set up your panel in minutes: numbered slots (North America) or DIN rails (Europe and beyond) • Label each breaker with the rooms, outlets and appliances it controls • Type "kit" and instantly see every breaker for the kitchen • Browse by category: lights, outlets, appliances, HVAC, rooms • Mark breakers as confirmed, likely or unknown as you learn more FLOOR PLAN • Add a photo or image of your floor plan • Pin lights, outlets and appliances where they are • Tap a pin to see its breaker, and from any breaker see everything it powers EVERY DETAIL OF EVERY BREAKER • On/off status, rating, 2-pole and tandem breakers • DIN panels: modules, trip curves, RCDs and RCBOs, and which RCD protects each breaker • Tags, notes and favorites BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • No electrical knowledge required: plain language, no jargon • Works with incomplete information: label what you know, fill in the rest later • Works offline, no account needed • Designed for iPhone and iPad PANELMAP PRO One-time purchase, no subscription. • Unlimited panels • Unlimited floor plans and pins (free: 1 floor plan and 5 pins) • PDF export: share a clean panel directory with contractors or tenants • Cloud Sync: sign in with a Karibou Home account (Apple, Google or email) to back up your panels and keep your iPhone and iPad in sync Whether you're preparing for an emergency, renovating, or just tired of flipping every breaker to find the right one, PanelMap gives you the answer in seconds.
