Home Centered

Your home needs a hundred small things done. Home Centered remembers all of them.

Free · Requires iOS 17.4 or later

What it does

Maintenance on whatever schedule things actually happen

Weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or a custom interval of your own. Home Centered tells you what’s coming and keeps a record of every time you’ve done it.

Falling behind doesn’t compound

Completing an overdue task re-anchors its schedule from the day you actually finished, so you land back on track instead of staying permanently late.

Cleaning that never nags

Name your own rooms and log one in a tap. Cleaning has no overdue state, nothing turns red, and it sends no notifications — every household is permanently behind, and that’s normal.

Every place you look after

A rental, a cabin, your parents’ house. Add as many homes as you want, free, and switch between them from the dashboard. Each keeps its own tasks, rooms, history, and costs.

Reminders that don’t nag

Notifications arrive as a task comes due, with quiet hours so nothing wakes you at night. They name the home once you have more than one, and you can mark something done straight from the notification.

A record that outlasts your memory

Every completion is logged with the date, what it cost, and any notes worth keeping. Attach a photo — a receipt, a serial number, proof the work was done.

What it actually costs to own a house

Record what each job costs as you complete it, and see annual, average, and lifetime spend per item. No linked bank accounts, no budget to maintain.

You won’t start from an empty screen

Setup seeds your list from a curated catalog, matched to the kind of property — a cabin gets winterizing, a rental gets turnover work. Keep what applies, delete what doesn’t.

Questions

What does Home Centered cost?

It’s free. There are no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no ads.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up and nothing to log into. Open the app and add your first task.

Where is my data stored?

On your device. Home Centered has no servers, and your homes, tasks, rooms, costs, notes, and photos never leave your phone. The privacy policy covers this in full.

Does it sync between my devices?

Not yet. Your data lives on the device you entered it on, and is included in an encrypted iPhone backup.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. One tap exports your maintenance and cleaning records — tasks, rooms, and full history, with the home named on every row — to a CSV file you can send wherever you like. Attached photos stay in the app.

Can I track more than one property?

Yes, as many as you want. There is no cap and nothing to unlock. Each home keeps its own tasks, rooms, history, and costs, and nothing blends together. Sold a place? Archive it — the reminders stop and the history stays.

Does cleaning send reminders too?

No, on purpose. Cleaning tracks rhythm rather than debt, so it shows you when a room was last done without ever going overdue or notifying you. Maintenance is the half that reminds.

Why didn’t I get a notification?

The app now tells you on its reminder settings screens when notifications are switched off, and links you straight to iOS Settings. Otherwise, check that the task’s due date hasn’t landed inside your quiet hours — a reminder there is held until the morning. If it still isn’t working, email support below.
