HavenLog keeps a house on schedule. It pairs a real seasonal maintenance library with a registry of every appliance, serial, and warranty, so the furnace filter, the smoke alarms, and the gutters never slip, and the water heater warranty never lapses unnoticed. No account, no tracking. Everything lives on your device and in your private iCloud, and syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A SEASONAL CHECKLIST THAT IS ACTUALLY USEFUL Spring, summer, fall, and winter task sets covering heating and cooling, smoke and CO alarms, gutters, the water heater, the roof, plumbing, the exterior, and the yard. Each task carries a sensible cadence and a short how-to note. Add the ones that fit your home with one tap. NEVER MISS THE UPKEEP Every task tracks its own next-due date and shows what is overdue, due today, or coming up. Turn on a local reminder for the ones that matter and HavenLog nudges you the day each is due. AN APPLIANCE REGISTRY WITH SERIALS Log the furnace, water heater, fridge, and the rest with brand, model, serial, location, and a photo. The number you never have when you need it finally lives in one place. WARRANTY COUNTDOWNS Record the coverage on each appliance and HavenLog counts down the days, flags what is expiring soon, and marks what has lapsed, so you claim before the window closes. A CONTRACTOR CONTACT LOG Keep the plumber, roofer, and electrician one tap away, with the trade, phone, a rating, and the work they did. UPKEEP HISTORY YOU CAN SEE Every completed task lands in your history. Charts show tasks completed by month and by area of the home, with what you have spent, so a year of upkeep becomes the story of the house. A REPORT YOU CAN HOLD Export a printable Home Upkeep Report as a PDF with the full registry, warranty status, history, and contractors, ready for a buyer, an insurer, or the next owner. Clean CSV files export too. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN HavenLog syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. The iPad and Mac layout puts the dashboard beside your lists, a proper home binder. FREE VS LIFETIME Free includes up to 10 tasks and a starter registry so you can feel how it works. One lifetime purchase ($17.99 USD) removes every limit: unlimited tasks and every seasonal checklist, the full appliance and warranty registry, the complete contractor log, and PDF and CSV export. No subscription, no account. HavenLog is a private log for your own home. Add it once, check it off, and let the house take care of itself.
