About

HomedIn

Features
Read full description

HomedIn turns the chaos of home ownership into a clear, manageable plan — built specifically around your home, your region, and your season. Most home maintenance apps give you the same generic checklist regardless of where you live or what kind of home you have. HomedIn is different. Tell us your ZIP code, foundation type, roof type, and home age, and we build a personalized schedule using real frost dates, fire seasons, and local climate data. WHAT'S INSIDE: Today & the Index Today shows what your home needs now. Pull up from the bottom edge for the Index: your week, the season ahead, your house, and its record. Maintenance Task Library From closing crawlspace vents before the first frost to scheduling your AC tune-up before summer heat hits, every task is timed to your location and explained with why it matters and exactly how to do it. Photos & Receipts Log completion photos and snap receipts for every job. Know what you spent, and have proof when you need it. Export PDF Reports Hand over the year in one tap — a complete home maintenance report for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and your own records. Built for iPhone Duo and iPad Open your iPhone Duo and Today and This Week sit side by side. Close it and everything re-flows without losing your place. On iPad, every screen settles into a calm, readable column. HOMEDIN PRO (optional, monthly subscription or one-time lifetime purchase): • Check-in and cleaning reminders • Cleaning planner — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly tasks, organized by room • Dark mode on the Cobalt, Solstice, and Verdant colorways • More than one home WHY HOMEOWNERS LOVE IT: • Region-specific timing — a Phoenix homeowner and a Minnesota homeowner have completely different needs. HomedIn knows the difference. • Foundation-aware tasks — crawlspace venting, sump pump checks, basement moisture alerts — only shown if they apply to your home. • Extreme climate coverage — wildfire Zone 0 prep, hurricane shutters, tornado safe room checklists, ice dam prevention, and more. • Expert "Why It Matters" context on every task — so you understand the real cost of skipping it. • A calm, quiet design that feels natural on iPhone. Your home is your biggest investment. HomedIn helps you protect it.
