Centriq Web Beta

Centriq is like a medical record for your home. It notifies you when your stuff needs maintenance or if the manufacturer recalls it. When something breaks you can get DIY repair instructions or a professional at the push of a button. If your home is damaged or you're selling it you can report not just the 4 walls but everything inside. I like that in particular because it disincentives short term thinking–using cheap parts to build and sell a house that looks good on the outside but crumbles inside.

Disclaimer: I work on the Machine Learning Centriq uses to identify your products.

I also helped build this app (in ClojureScript). Having spent several years of my life as a nomad, I don’t like keeping paper manuals of stuff I buy. I think having a single place to keep all that info, + automatic links to replacement parts or fixit-guides, is a useful thing and much better than typing arcane model numbers into manufacturers websites every time you need to look up a manual or part.

I have used this app for over a year and I've added all of my power tools and appliances. Any time I need to figure out how to change an obscure battery, replace the wire in my weeder, and of course, order a new water filter for my fridge, I've finally gotten in the habit of saying, LOOK IN CENTRIQ. Its all there.

This is such an awesome product. And it's FREE. Every time I have to do something around the house from my "honey do" list, Centriq saves me time and money. It's like a digital user guide specifically for my home. It takes just a few minutes to add all your basic stuff (with just one photo each), and then you have all the manuals and other support materials for your stuff on your phone.

I wish when i bought my latest home it already had this - so much i had to learn all over again that the previous owner already knew, and it gives me all the manuals, part #s (with links to amazon!), and i can even store receipts and video notes for things to remember...
