A note from the editors
Your home is the largest, most complicated thing you’ll ever own, and almost nobody has a real record of it. We started TheHomeFile because the receipt for your $11,000 range shouldn’t live in a kitchen drawer, and the WiFi password shouldn’t live only in your spouse’s head.
FILE 03The catalog§ 3.0 · what gets filed

What we
file.

Six categories. Hundreds of items per home. We start with what you’ve got: receipts in a drawer, photos on a phone, model numbers in your head, and end with a clean, searchable archive.

01

Appliances

Brand, model, serial, install date, warranty, manual, every service visit. From your fridge to your sump pump.

Rooms & finishes

Paint colors with formulas, flooring specs, fixtures, hardware. The exact off-white in the entry hall.

Documents

Closing docs, surveys, insurance, deeds, tax records, inspection reports. Organized, OCR'd, searchable.

FILE 04How it works§ 4.0 · four steps

Onboard in an
afternoon.

STEP 01

Walk through

Open the app and walk room by room. Snap a photo of every appliance, and we read the model number, find the manual, file the warranty.

STEP 02

Forward receipts

Forward every home receipt to your private inbox. Or drop a folder of PDFs. Our AI reads them and links each to the right room.

STEP 03

Invite your people

Add your spouse, your contractor, your house manager. Each gets the right level of access. Read-only, full edit, or just one wing.

STEP 04

Live with it

Reminders arrive when filters need changing. Vendors get the model numbers they ask for. The closet light bulb is the same kind, every time.

FILE 05Demonstration · Receipt → Record§ 5.0 · AI extraction

From a crumpled
receipt to a
filed record.

Snap, forward, or drag-and-drop. Our model reads the brand, model, serial, price and warranty terms. It looks up the manual, links the right room, and adds the right maintenance schedule, automatically.

  • Reads handwritten + printed receipts
  • Pulls manuals from manufacturer libraries
  • Detects duplicates, attaches to existing records
  • Always reviewable. Never auto-trusted

FILE 07Who it's for§ 7.0 · four audiences

One file.
Many readers.

For owners

Stop hunting for the manual. Stop missing the warranty window. Know what you own.

You · your spouse

For staff

House manager, cleaner, contractor. They get the codes, models, and schedules they need, nothing more.

House manager · cleaner

For vendors

They ask for the model, you tap a button, it's in their inbox. No hunting in the basement.

Plumber · electrician

For sale

Hand the next owner a beautiful, complete archive at closing. The home keeps its memory.

Buyers · agents

We sold our house last spring. The buyer’s agent said the file we handed them. Every receipt, every paint color, every service visit, added six figures to the offer. That’s not marketing. That’s what actually happened.
