Future House | Home Organization App

Home organization app

1. Download the Centriq app from the App Store, GooglePlay, or via text message through their website.
2. Scan the name plates on appliances in your home. You can usually find the name plate underneath or inside each appliance.
3. The app will automatically download all relevant information, including manuals and warranty information.

Centriq goes beyond just manuals — it acts as a virtual organizer for all-important home information. As This Old House Magazine described it, the app collects and stores everything from property and remodel records to appliance manuals and paint formulas safely via Cloud services, for anytime/anywhere accessibility. You can also scan and store receipts, contracts, and warranties, keeping everything in one place instead of that overstuffed junk drawer.

This Old House Magazine editors found that the app is especially useful for identifying hard-to-find replacement parts. With one tap, appliance-specific buttons take you to exact listings on Amazon for parts — need a new “E17 Intermediate Base 40W” bulb for your refrigerator light? — or to repair help through how-to videos and the HomeAdvisor network. One standout feature lets you add your own video notes to inventory items, such as recording a short clip of exactly how to restart the master pilot on the stove or how to clean out the trap under a bathroom sink.
