CARFAX for your home — every repair, documented

Home maintenance is reactive, undocumented, and forgotten. Essentify gives every property a permanent, verifiable service record. Scan the QR code on any appliance and see its full history. Log a repair in seconds — cost, receipt, photo. See what each property actually costs to run, and hand the next owner proof it was cared for. Preventive maintenance costs ~4.8x less than reactive. Free to start.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Kevin, the founder.
Last year my water heater died. The plumber asked when it was installed. I had no idea, no receipt, no date, no record. Just a bill, and the realization that I'd been paying extra for years because I couldn't remember anything about my own house.
That's the gap. A home is the biggest asset most people own, and we track it worse than we track our cars. A used car has a verifiable history report. A used house has a shoebox of receipts, if you're lucky.
Essentify is that record:
• Every appliance gets a QR code; scan it, see its full service history
• Log a repair in seconds: date, cost, receipt, photo
• Reports showing what each property actually costs to run
• The history transfers when you sell, proof the roof was replaced and the furnace serviced
I built it for my own properties first. Then property managers started asking for it, because they needed auditable proof of work per unit, so it now handles both homeowners and portfolios.

One thing I'd love to hear from you: how do you track maintenance on your place today? Spreadsheet, photos in your camera roll, or pure memory? I'm still learning what people actually do, and every answer changes what I build next.
