No account required. No HomeVault servers. Your data lives in your cloud folder.

Your dishwasher breaks. You can't find the model number or the warranty.
You replaced the HVAC filter. You can't remember when.
An appliance is recalled. You're not sure which model you own.

Item Tracking

Every appliance, tool, and piece of furniture gets its own record. Capture make, model, serial number, room, purchase date, and warranty expiry. Attach receipts and photos. Organize by room and category. When you call support, the model number is one tap away — not buried in a drawer somewhere.

Maintenance Tasks & Checklists

Track one-off repairs and recurring maintenance schedules. Replace the HVAC filter every 90 days. Clean the dryer vent annually. Task schedules are anchored to actual completion: if you do something a week late, the next reminder counts from when you actually did it — not the original schedule. Checklists break complex jobs into steps.

task: HVAC filter replacement
  interval: 90 days
  last_completed: 2026-03-12
  next_due: 2026-06-10      ← anchored to actual date
  recurrence: interval_from_completion

Warranty Alerts

HomeVault watches your warranty dates and sends push notifications at 90, 30, and 7 days before expiry. All notifications are local to your device — no server sees them. Each item carries a status badge so you know at a glance what's covered, what's expiring, and what's gone.

Status	When	Badge
Active	> 30 days remaining	Active
Expiring soon	≤ 30 days remaining	Expiring soon
Expired	Past expiry date	Expired
Lifetime	No expiry set	Lifetime

Your Data, Your Storage

HomeVault has no backend. Your vault is an ordinary folder of plain text files, and you pick where it lives from the folders your phone can already reach — iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or nothing but the device itself. There is no service to connect and no account to link. Sensitive fields — serial numbers, prices, receipts — can be encrypted on-device with a passphrase you set. The format is open and published on GitHub, so you can read, edit, or back up your data with any tool you like.
