HouseFile turns your house into a record you actually own. Every system, every service, every cost, kept on your device and ready the moment something breaks. WHAT YOU GET - A maintenance schedule built for your house, not a generic checklist. Answer six short questions and the app builds tasks around your climate zone, your equipment and the age of the building. - A home health score out of 100 that shows exactly what is dragging it down and what to fix first. - Emergency shutoff card. Water, gas and power, with your own photos and notes, ready before you need it. - Every system on file. Brand, model, serial, install date, expected service life and what it will cost to replace. - Service history that answers the questions that matter. Who did the work, what it cost, and whether you would call them again. - Warranty tracking with reminders before cover expires, not after. - Guided seasonal walkthroughs. Work the list, flag what needs attention, and flagged items become real tasks. - Ten year cost forecast with a monthly set aside figure, so a failed water heater is a plan instead of a surprise. - A risk register that ranks what is most likely to fail next and what it would cost. - Sale ready dossier. One document that shows a buyer the house has been looked after. - Document vault for manuals, receipts and permits, with search that reads the text inside your scans. - AI helpers that read a nameplate photo, triage a symptom, or draft a scope of work for a contractor. Every result is shown to you for review before anything is saved. PRIVACY, PLAINLY - No ads. Not now, not later. - No accounts and no sign in. - Your records stay on your device. There is no server holding a copy. - No analytics, no trackers, no third party advertising kits. - Works completely offline. Airplane mode changes nothing except the optional AI helpers. BUILT WITH CARE - Designed for iPhone and iPad, with a real two pane layout on iPad rather than a stretched phone screen. - Full data export, always free. Data you cannot get out is data you do not own. - Quiet by default. At most one digest a day, and never more than the weekly limit you set. WHO IT IS FOR Homeowners who want to stop guessing. First time buyers learning what a house needs. Anyone selling who wants proof the place was maintained. Landlords keeping records across a property. Your house keeps no records. You will.
