Remodel projects spiral fast. What starts as a bathroom refresh turns into tracked invoices, chased contractors, a wish list of tiles you can't lose, and a budget that seems to have a life of its own. Running two remodels at once? Switch between projects with one tap. RenoHub brings it all together — quietly, without fuss. QUOTE TRACKER — CONTRACTOR ESTIMATES Import your contractor's PDF estimate or quote. RenoHub reads it and turns it into a live statement of works — every section, every line item, every cost. Check items off as work completes. Validate each progress payment against what was originally agreed. No more cross-referencing a PDF at 11pm wondering if you're being overcharged. TASKS — DIY AND PROFESSIONAL Split your work between what you're doing yourself and what you're hiring out. Set priorities, track status, and see exactly what's left at a glance. Add a weather badge to outdoor tasks and RenoHub will flag when the forecast isn't right for the job. WISH LIST Save products from any website with one tap. Track price, status, and which room each item is for. Connect an AI key and get brand recommendations based on what you've already saved. Never lose a tile reference again. BUDGET & ARCHIVE Log invoices, estimates, and payments as you go. RenoHub calculates your total spend, what's outstanding, and your invoiced percentage — in your currency. Every receipt accounted for. SUPPLIERS & CONTRACTORS Keep every contact, estimate, and note in one place. No more digging through email threads when you need a plumber's number at 7am. SHARE WITH A PARTNER Share a project via iCloud with your partner, a family member, or your contractor. They see your tasks, wish list, and archive on their own device. No account needed. Nothing to configure. AI THAT JUST WORKS — NO SETUP Import a contractor's estimate, scan a document, or get brand ideas the moment you tap — no account, no API key needed. You get a free AI allowance every day; for these free features your file is sent securely to RenoHub's AI service to generate the result, and is never stored. Want unlimited AI everywhere — including the in-app Advisor and Product Scanner? Add your own OpenAI or Gemini key and everything runs directly through your key. A per-request log shows exactly what used AI, which model, and how many tokens — so nothing happens without you knowing. CLOUDKIT SYNC Your projects sync silently across all your Apple devices. Nothing to configure. Nothing to lose. Free to download. No in-app purchases. No ads. Your remodel data stays on your devices and iCloud. The free AI features send only what's needed to process your request, securely, and never store it — or use your own key to keep everything on your device.
