How it works
Here is one home project in Satisfy+, from the first quote to the years after.
Each step below shows what you record at that point in the job and what the app does with it. You keep the whole record for as long as you own the home.
Each step below shows what you record at that point in the job and what the app does with it. You keep the whole record for as long as you own the home.
Getting started
You type your address, and the app shows you what the public record says about your home.
It fills in the facts you'd otherwise type.
You see the structure, the lot, the value, the beds and baths, and any mortgage on record, each marked as coming from the public record.
You confirm or correct each fact.
You check what it found against your own home before you go on, so your record starts out right.
It marks the previous owner's loan.
A loan recorded before the last sale is labeled as the previous owner's, so you never mistake it for your own mortgage.
It asks three questions when it finds nothing.
If your address has no public record, three short questions set up the home instead, and you still finish in minutes.
Quotes
You put every quote on the same rows, so you see which bid left something out.
A low total means little until you know what the bid includes. Lining the bids up shows you.
Every bid gets the same rows.
The app sets each quote out against the same terms, so you compare the job and not only the total.
The blanks are marked.
Where a contractor didn't say something, the row shows it as not stated, so you know what to ask.
You weigh repair against replacement.
For one machine, you put the repair bid beside the replacement bid and see both on one screen.
You record the contract you sign.
Once you choose, you record the signed contract and its value, and the rest of the job is measured against it.
Photos
You take your before photos in the first week, and each one keeps the date you took it.
Once work starts, nobody can go back and photograph what the room looked like. The first week is your only chance.
Every photo is dated when you take it.
The date comes from the moment you took the photo, not from when you got around to uploading it.
You take photos with no signal.
In a basement or a crawl space, the photo saves on your phone and uploads later with the time you took it.
Your photos sit with the project.
Each one goes on the project's record, next to the contract and the payments from the same job.
You record the deposit the same day.
The payment goes against the contract, and the project shows what you still owe.
Projects
You write down what happened on the job, and the journal keeps the day it happened.
You log Tuesday's delivery on Saturday, and the record still says Tuesday.
Each entry keeps two dates.
The journal records the day something happened and, separately, the day you wrote it down.
You log each change to the job.
When the scope changes, you add it to the journal with the date, so there's a record of when it was agreed.
Photos go into the same thread.
Each photo sits with the entries from that stage, so the job reads in the order it happened.
Inspections and choices are kept too.
You record each inspection and the materials you picked, like the tile and the fixtures.
Close-out
Before you make the final payment, the project shows what's owed and which lien waivers are still missing.
The final payment is the last time the contractor is waiting on you, so it's the moment to collect everything you still need.
You see what's left on the contract.
The money tab shows the contract value, what you've paid and what's still owing, so the last invoice is easy to check.
You see which waivers are missing.
Each payment is marked with its lien waiver or without one, so you ask before you pay the last bill.
You take your after photos.
The finished work gets its own dated photos, next to the before shots from the first week.
You register the warranty.
Once you record the warranty, its registration deadline stays on Today until you enter the date you registered.
Upkeep
Once the job is done, your home tells you what it needs next.
The app knows how long your equipment usually lasts.
Each machine you record carries its service life, and a ten-year view flags what's wearing out well before it becomes urgent.
Upkeep dates come from what your record lists.
A septic tank, a well or a fireplace on your record brings its own pump-out, water test or inspection date.
Satisfy+ watches the age of your alarms.
It tells you when smoke alarms pass ten years and carbon monoxide alarms reach seven, so you replace them on time.
The app keeps your filter sizes on file.
It remembers the size, and the reminder for a filter or softener salt names exactly what to buy.
Deadlines
Satisfy+ watches all of these dates for you on the free plan.
Each date reaches your Today screen once something you recorded puts it in range, so you only see the ones that apply to your home.
| Area | The dates it watches |
|---|---|
| Your house | Heating and cooling service, water heater, septic, well, chimney, roof, alarms, radon, filters and the sprinkler lines before a freeze |
| Your money | Insurance renewal, a missing flood policy, the tax appeal window, past-due property tax and the lien release on a paid-off loan |
| Your paperwork | Warranty registration, warranty end dates, the builder defect list, agreements renewing and association dates |
| Your contracts | The notice to stop a service renewing |
| Your vehicle | Registration, inspection, the temporary tag, a driver's license, the service contract and the warranty |
| The weather | Storm and freeze warnings for your county |
Plans
You start on Home, and you move to Home+ when your life needs more than one of each.
A second project runs beside the first.
On Home+, the kitchen and the roof each keep their own record at the same time.
A rental or a parent's home gets its own record.
Home+ holds every home you own, so you switch between them instead of starting another account.
Your partner manages on their own login.
Home+ Duo gives two people their own Home+, and Home+ Family covers up to six.
Your first month of Home+ is free.
You try it on your own record before you decide, and the price is shown in the app first.
The first month free is for a new account on monthly Home+, started on the web with a card. Home+ renews until you cancel. The price and terms are shown in the app before any payment is taken.
Questions
Here is who sees your record and what happens to it.
Who can see my home?
Only you can see it until you share it. On Home+, you invite someone by email and choose what they can see.
Does my contractor need to use the app?
No. The record belongs to you, and the companies you hire never need an account to be on it.
What happens to my record if Home+ ends?
Nothing is deleted. You choose the home, project and car that stay active, and the rest stay readable.
Can I get archived records back later?
Yes, for a home or a car. An archived project stays archived and read-only; Home+ restores an archived home or car exactly as you left it.
Can I turn off the reminder emails?
Yes. You switch them off in your settings, and every date still shows on your Today screen.
The record you start today is the one you'll hand the next owner.
