House Ledger
House Ledger support
Last updated 15 September 2026.
House Ledger keeps what a house actually contains, the water heater with an age, the furnace with a filter size, the roof under warranty and who fixed what, schedules the maintenance from it, and hands the record over cleanly when you sell.
Why my schedule looks empty
Two rules decide what appears there, and both are about what the screen refuses to show.
- Nothing more than sixty days out is listed. A job due in eight months is not something you can act on today, and listing it turns the schedule into wallpaper.
- When nothing is due, it says so and stops. An invented task to look busy is the nag, and you cannot tell it apart from the furnace service that matters.
An empty schedule is usually a correct one.
Why a reminder came when it did
A seasonal job is moved into its season rather than sitting exactly on its cadence, because gutters cleared in February are on schedule and useless.
Marking a job done moves the next one forward from the date you did it, not from the date it was due. Flush the tank two months early and you have bought two months.
On the account screen you choose how much warning you want and what hour suits you, and whether the email comes as well as the phone reminder. Every reminder carries the reason, not only the instruction.
What "typically" means on a service life
Service lives in the app are averages for that kind of equipment, not a measurement of yours. A well maintained unit outlasts them and a neglected one does not. The app never says a system will fail. It shows the figure it is working from, labels it as typical, and lets you overwrite it.
The handover document
You can build a service record for the house and send it with the share sheet, so you see exactly what leaves and choose who gets it. It names contractors, costs and your address, so it goes nowhere you did not send it yourself.
It states equipment, fitting years, warranties and work carried out. It deliberately leaves out remaining-life estimates. Inside the app those are a planning aid; handed to a buyer they become a representation about the property. The document says so on its face: it is the record the owner kept, not a survey or a warranty, and nothing in it has been verified.
Photographing a document
Photograph a warranty, an invoice or a manual and it is read for makes, models, serials, filter sizes, warranty dates and contractors. An invoice becomes a service event. A manual can create the system itself, so a photographed boiler manual becomes a furnace with a filter size and a schedule without you typing it. Anything you typed yourself wins: extraction fills blanks, it does not overwrite.
What House Ledger does not do
- Not a survey, an inspection or an appraisal. It values nothing.
- Seasons are northern hemisphere, a real limitation if your house is south of the equator.
- No bank connection, no mortgage or insurance details.
An internet connection is required.
Subscriptions
House Ledger is sold as a subscription through your Apple ID. The current price and billing period are shown on the purchase screen inside the app, which reads them from the App Store for your country rather than repeating a figure here.
It is managed on your device at Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the renewal and leaves the current period running to its end. We cannot cancel it for you. After a reinstall or a new device, use Restore Purchases on the subscription screen; if it finds nothing, check you are signed in with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple is the merchant of record, so refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Signing in, and your records
There is no password. You sign in with a six digit code sent to your email address, and every table checks your account against the owner of the row.
You can delete your account from inside the app. It erases the profile, the home, every system, every service event, the schedule and every document, immediately and unrecoverably. Send the handover to yourself first.
The full policy is at carrierpress.com/houseledger/privacy, and it names the services involved: the database and sign-in codes, the reader that turns a photograph into makes and dates, the reminder mailer, and the subscription processor. A contractor you record is a business contact in your own record, and we never contact, profile or share them.
Contact
One person reads that, so a reply may take a few days.
