Track every utility meter – electricity, water, gas and heating – in one simple app. Log a reading in seconds, see your usage and costs in clear charts, and ask the AI assistant what is driving your bills. Made for homeowners, renters, landlords and property managers who want to understand their consumption and save money. LOG READINGS IN SECONDS β€’ Add a meter reading with the date and time you took it β€’ Electricity, water, gas, heating, cooling and custom meters β€’ Any unit: kWh, mΒ³, kW, BTU and more β€’ Notes on every reading; edit or delete anytime SCAN YOUR METER Take a photo of the meter: the app reads its number and the reading on your phone, offline, and fills in the form for you to check. A meter you already have gets its reading; a new one is set up from the photo. Free plan: 3 scans a day. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES β€’ Interactive charts for 24 hours, a week, a month, 3 months or a year β€’ Daily usage and trends reveal spikes and waste β€’ Cost per unit in your currency, with weekly and monthly totals ASK THE AI ASSISTANT Ask in plain language and get answers from your own data: β€’ "How much did I spend on electricity last week?" β€’ "What was my last water reading?" β€’ "What does one kWh cost me?" SCAN YOUR UTILITY BILLS Take a photo or pick a PDF. Dates, amounts and usage are read automatically and linked to your meters, so you can check each bill against your readings.
