Keeping track of every appliance in your home gets harder over time. Purchase dates get forgotten, receipts disappear, warranties expire, and routine cleaning or filter changes are easy to miss. Home Maintenance Planner gives each appliance a clear, organized record so important information, maintenance schedules and service history stay together. Appliance Profiles Record the appliance name, category, brand, model, serial number, location, purchase date, installation date and warranty expiration date. Maintenance Plans Create schedules for cleaning, inspections, routine servicing and replacement of filters or other consumable parts. Keep upcoming maintenance easy to review. Maintenance History Save completed cleaning, repairs, replacements and service visits, including the date, cost, provider and notes. Build a useful long-term service history for every appliance. Warranty Tracking See which appliances are currently covered and which warranties are approaching expiration. Photos & Documents Keep appliance photos, purchase receipts and nameplate or serial-number images with the appliance record. Search & Filters Find appliances by name, brand, model, serial number, category or location. Backup & Restore Create local backups of your household equipment records so important information can be restored when needed. Home Maintenance Pro adds unlimited appliances, backup and restore, CSV data export and PDF maintenance reports with a one-time lifetime purchase. From washing machines and air conditioners to water filters and kitchen equipment, keep the details that matter organized and know what needs attention next.

Ask a Page is a small book that answers you. Choose a chapter if you like — Love, Work, Study or Self — then write your question, say it, or simply keep it in mind. Push the cover open with your finger, and the book falls open to a single line printed on paper. The book doesn’t decide for you, and it doesn’t predict anything. Each line is a pause: a small nudge, a gentler way to look, a reason to wait. Often the answer you notice is your own. A PAGE IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOMENT • The light in the room follows the time of day — dawn, day, dusk and night, with a desk lamp and a moonlit window after dark. • Wind, rain, a storm, snow: the weather changes from day to day, made right on your phone. • 156 original lines written for this book: the whole book, plus four chapters. KEEP WHAT MATTERS • Keep a page, and note how it felt and what you’d answer yourself — in the margin, like notes in a real book. • Days later, come back to it. The screen returns to the light of that day, and you can add what you think now. • Share a page as a quiet card, only when you choose to. MAKE IT YOUR BOOK • Seven jackets and papers, all included. • A bookplate on the flyleaf, with your name. QUIET BY DESIGN • Free for the first three days you open the book, as many pages as you like. After that, unlock the whole book once: no subscription, no ads, no limit on pages. • No account. Everything stays on this iPhone. Hold-to-speak turns your voice into text on the device and never saves or uploads it. • Back up your pages to a file and bring them to a new phone. In English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, German, Korean, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and Arabic. Ask a Page is for reflection, not advice, and isn’t a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial help. If a question touches on life and death, the book won’t turn a page; it shows where to find someone to talk to.
