# A home file: every warranty, every repair

Each purchase is a note with the receipt’s photo, the model and the serial number, written out so Search finds them. A month before a warranty ends, its note comes back.

## At a glance

- **For:** Anyone who owns or rents a home and keeps its receipts and warranties.
- **You keep:** A Home folder with a thread for warranties, one for the boiler, one for the roof and one for paint and fittings.
- **Nothing to set up:** A photo of the receipt and of the label with the serial number, on the day you buy.
- **The moment:** A month before the dishwasher’s warranty ends, Remind me… brings its note back: the receipt, the model and the serial number the shop asks for.
- **Plan:** Free · Free, and your notes stay in this browser; export a backup now and then. Sign in to get reminders on this device. Pro to share the folder with your partner.

## Before

The dishwasher drains slowly in its 23rd month. The warranty is two years, and the receipt is a photo among 8,000 others, or a PDF in an email from a shop whose name you forgot. The boiler engineer asks when it was last serviced. Nobody in the house remembers which white went on the hallway walls.

## Why a thread, not a drawer and your camera roll

### Written out, so Search finds it

Search reads the words in your notes, not the text in a photo. Write the shop, the model and the end date under the receipt, and “dishwasher” finds it in a second.

### Back before it runs out

Set Remind me… on the purchase’s note for a month before the warranty ends. The reminder opens that note.

### The boiler’s history

The boiler’s thread holds every service with the engineer’s report, and Remind me… Every year brings it back each autumn.

## The moment

The Home folder: what each part of the house last needed.

## Limits

- Search finds the words in your notes, not the text in a photo or a scan: write the model and the end date in the note.
- A reminder says when, not what: the note it opens says the rest.
- A photo in a note is your copy: keep the original receipt if the shop asks for it.
- Notes aren’t end-to-end encrypted: keep passwords, door codes and full account numbers out of them.
- On Free your notes stay in this browser: export a backup now and then.
