The Owner's Manual

theownersmanual.app ↗

In development · Beta
Work in progress. The Owner's Manual is in active development and currently in beta. It isn't on the App Store or Google Play yet — both are planned for the near future. The link below goes to the project's site, where you can try the web beta.

A homeowner reference app that centralises everything you need to know about the stuff you own — appliances, vehicles, HVAC systems, and more. Users track assets, store maintenance records, and look up specs like oil capacity, filter sizes, and part numbers without digging through manuals.

The AI lookup feature uses the Anthropic API with Brave Search grounding to answer questions like "what oil does my car take?" and return verifiable, source-linked answers with a confidence rating — with one tap to save the result as a field on the asset, and a Buy link for consumables.

Planned monetisation includes affiliate links on consumable purchases and a freemium model for extended history and multi-property support.
