Look around CastleWise before you download it.

Every screen below is the real app on a real iPhone. Walk through setting up your house, then all four tabs, and see exactly where the line sits between what comes with the app and what Pro unlocks.

The first big update

Most of this came from people who downloaded in the first weeks and wrote in.

The first four minutes

Setting up your house

CastleWise asks four questions and builds the whole structure for you. Nothing is permanent: every room, appliance and system can be renamed or removed later.

Step one

What are we taking care of?

Primary home, rental, vacation home, or other. This is not cosmetic. It tunes which checklists and guides you get, so a renter is never handed roof advice.

Comes with the app
Choosing the property type during setup
Name it anything. The Lake Place, Mom's, 14 Oak Street.
Step two

How many rooms?

Set counts for bedrooms, bathrooms, half baths and garages, then tap whichever named rooms you have. CastleWise creates every one. There is a field for anything the list missed: nursery, wine cellar, the den nobody agrees on the name for.

Comes with the app
Choosing rooms during setup
Counts plus named rooms, and your own underneath.
Step three

What is in the kitchen?

Each appliance you tap becomes a record waiting for its model number, and it tunes what the app reminds you about. A fridge with a water filter starts asking about that filter. One without never mentions it.

Comes with the app
Choosing kitchen appliances during setup
Skip anything you are unsure about and add it later in two taps.
Step four

What does it run on?

Heating, water, and the systems working in the background. Central AC, heat pump, tank or tankless water heater, well or city water, septic, sump pump, generator. Each becomes a record and shapes your seasonal lists.

Comes with the app
Choosing home systems during setup
Then tap Build my house and the whole structure appears.

Four minutes, and your house is built.That is the whole setup. Everything after this is the app working for you.

Tab one

My House

Home base. Your rooms, what is still open in each, and the running shopping list for all of it.

Rooms that suggest their own work

Open a room and CastleWise proposes the projects that actually fit it. A bedroom knows about paint and carpet. A garage knows about slabs and insulation. A yard knows about mulch and seed.

  • Every project carries a chip that jumps straight to the right calculator
  • A wrench button opens a tool checklist pre-filled for that job
  • Rooms remember their measurements, so enter them once and every future calculator for that room is filled in

Primary Bedroom, showing one open project.

It proposes, you choose

Add project offers what is common for that room type, each already wired to its calculator. Or type your own and it sits alongside them.

Comes with the app
Suggested projects for a laundry room
Common laundry room projects, each one a tap away.
Tab two

Records

Your house's memory. Thirteen categories, each with fields shaped for what it actually holds.

The numbers you can never find

Model and serial numbers, filter sizes, paint codes, dye lots, bulb types, warranty dates. The warranty call wants a serial number and you have it. The store asks your filter size and you have it.

  • The house: appliances, HVAC and filters, water and plumbing, exterior, safety devices, electrical panel
  • Finishes and supplies: paint, flooring, bulbs, tools, and cleaning supplies with a level you set per bottle
  • Snap a photo onto any record: the appliance plate, the paint can lid, the receipt
  • Add to Calendar puts a repeating filter change into your own calendar, carrying the filter size in the notes

FixLens

Describe the problem or photograph it, and get the verdict.

It reads error codes. That is where it started, not where it stops.

267 appliance error codes across 53 brands, plus the house problems that have nothing to do with appliances. Every answer says what it is, the likely causes, the fix step by step, the parts, and whether it is safe to do yourself.

  • The tiny writing: the sticker inside the furnace door, the plate behind the fridge
  • Name that part: you cannot buy a thing you cannot name
  • Is this bad? including the times the answer is no
  • Past scans keep the whole verdict, so you can reopen it months later
  • Plants, stains, pests, bolts: photograph it or describe it and get a straight answer
  • Find the part or a pro in one tap from any verdict
5 scans, 3 deep answers Unlimited

What comes with the app, and what Pro adds

Here is where the line sits between what comes with the app and what Pro adds. The included side is generous on purpose, so you can find out whether CastleWise is for you first.
