Know what your home needs, and when.

A home maintenance companion for U.S. homeowners, especially first-time buyers. It shows what's due, reminds you on your phone, and keeps a record of what you've done.

How it works · Know what's due

Nobody hands you the maintenance manual with the keys.

New homeowners hear a dozen things they're supposed to check. HomeJournal turns them into a schedule for your home.

Move-in week

A pile of half-remembered advice

The inspector mentioned the alarms. Someone said something about the dryer. None of it is written down anywhere you'll look.

Set up

A schedule that fits your home

Answer a few questions about your home and HomeJournal builds a plan for it, sorted by what's due now and what can wait.

This month

See what's coming before it's late

Tasks that are due soon stand out, so nothing quietly slides past.

The day before

A reminder on your phone

Reminders are scheduled by your phone itself, so they work offline and need no account.

How it works · Done, and remembered

Every job you finish becomes part of your home's record.

Mark it done and HomeJournal handles the rest: the next date, the history, the backup.

Saturday morning

Do the job, then tap once

Each task tells you what it covers. When you've done it, mark it done.

Done

Checked off, with the date

HomeJournal records the day you actually did it, even if that was late.

What's next

The next date counts from today

The next due date is set from when you did the task, not when it was due. Seasonal tasks keep their season.

Years later

A history you can keep

Everything lands in History by date, room and type. Back it all up to a file you keep, and restore it on a new phone.

Built to stay out of your way

Your home's details stay with you.

Works offline, no account

HomeJournal works in a basement with no signal.

  • Your home details stay on your phone
  • Reminders come from your phone, not a server
  • For U.S. homes, especially first-time buyers

Back up to a file you keep

Save a backup wherever you like. If you change phones, restore it and pick up where you left off.

  • One backup file, saved where you choose
  • Restores your home, tasks and history
  • A nudge when it's time to back up again
