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 deal with a tripped breaker. HOW IT WORKS • Set up your panel in minutes — numbered slots (North America) or DIN rail layout (Europe and beyond) • Label each breaker with the rooms, outlets, and appliances it controls • Search any room, device, or outlet and instantly see the right breaker • Mark breakers as confirmed, likely, or unknown as you learn more over time 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 • Supports single, double (2-pole), and tandem breakers • Fully offline — your panel data stays on your device, no account needed • Works with any panel layout, anywhere in the world PRO FEATURES • Unlimited panels • Export your panel as a PDF for quick reference • Floor maps — sketch your home and pin outlets, switches, and appliances to see which breaker affects them • Reverse lookup — standing in a room, find out what controls it Whether you're prepping for an emergency, renovating, or just tired of flipping every breaker to find the right one, PanelMap gives you clarity and confidence in seconds.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Acova Pilote at none against PanelMap's 1. Acova Pilote also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). PanelMap's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
