HomeManual is the relational home tracking system built for homeowners who need to know what's in their house, what's going wrong, who to call, and what it costs — all connected.
What HomeManual tracks
Everything in your house — appliances, systems, structures — with purchase dates, warranties, model numbers, and photos. Know what you own before you need it.
What's broken, what's aging, what's about to become a problem. Status, priority, photos, and the full history of every issue — not just the current one.
Every contractor you've ever hired — plumber, electrician, HVAC tech — with ratings, specialties, contact info, and what you've paid them. Build a roster you can actually trust.
Get three quotes. Track all of them. Know which one you selected and why. No more searching your email for the contractor who gave you a price you can't remember.
What was done, when, by whom, and for how much. Full context for every repair — tied to the concern, the contractor, and the quote. Your home's permanent record.
Recurring reminders by system and asset — not a generic checklist. HVAC filters, water heater flushes, gutter cleanings — with the schedule, the last done date, and the next due.
The problem
The average home has hundreds of distinct systems, appliances, and structural elements — each with its own maintenance schedule, its own history of problems, and its own roster of people you've paid to fix things. Nobody writes this down. The people who try use a combination of notes apps, voice memos, email threads, and photos in a text thread with themselves. Then they buy another house and start over.
Notion gets close for the technically sophisticated 10%. But Notion has no filtered rollups, no chained rollups across linked databases, no dynamic record names, no filtered pickers, and no dynamic filters per template. You hit the ceiling fast. And most homeowners never get that far.
How it works
Start with the systems that matter — HVAC, plumbing, appliances — or go room by room. Every asset gets a name, a location, a model number, and a purchase date.
A concern attaches to an asset and carries its own status, priority, description, and photos. It becomes the hub for everything that follows.
Add contractors from your history or discover new ones. Log multiple quotes against the concern — track who quoted what, when, and which you chose.
After the work is complete, the concern ties together the contractor, the quote you selected, what you paid, and the work log — permanently. For every asset, you have the full history.
HomeManual sets up recurring maintenance tasks by asset type and age. Your home builds its own maintenance calendar — one that's specific to what you actually own.
HomeManual gives every homeowner the relational system that was previously only available to those who could build it in Notion — or afford a enterprise CMMS. Built for the first-time buyer, the serial renovator, the multi-property owner, and anyone who's ever stood in their basement wondering when the water heater was installed.
