Everything your house needs. In one place you own.

The filter size you can never remember, the serial number on the back of the furnace, the paint code for that one wall, the number of the roofer who was good. Darzen Home Care keeps all of it, tells you what is due this season, and adds up what the house has actually cost you.

  • The App, Google Sheets and Excel in one purchase
  • A seasonal list you edit, with due dates counted from when you last did each job
  • Filter and part sizes, serials, warranty dates, paint codes and contractors
  • One price, free updates, no monthly fee

Why it works

Built for a house you just bought.

  • Three editions, one price

    Use the App on your laptop and phone, keep the Google Sheet in your Drive, or open the Excel file. All three come with every purchase.

  • A list that reshuffles itself

    Each job is due again its own number of days after you last marked it done. Skip a month and the next date simply moves along — there is no broken checklist to repair and nothing is marked as failed.

  • The filter size, on hand

    Every system holds its make, model, serial, install date, warranty expiry, the filter or part size, where the manual is kept and who services it. The sizes sit on one card you can read from the hardware store.

  • The paint you actually used

    Room, surface, color name, your own code, the finish, when it was painted and which tin the leftovers are in. Two years later that is the whole job.

  • Dates in the calendar you already use

    Export one calendar file and the due dates and warranty expiries land in your own calendar, with reminders. Nothing is sent anywhere else.

  • Your house stays private

    The App keeps everything in the browser on your own device, never on our servers. Back it up in one click and restore it on any device.

Everything in Home Care

One file. Everything the house needs.

  1. The App
    1

    This Season: what the house is asking for

    Open it and see what is due now, the one job to start with, what is coming up in the next few weeks and which systems are still under warranty.

    • Due now and overdue
    • The one to start with
    • Warranty flags
    • Spent so far this year
  2. The App
    2

    Tasks: a library you edit

    The list that comes with it is a starting point, not a specification. Change the interval, delete what does not apply, add what does, drag a job to another season. Each card carries the part size for its system.

    • Edit every interval
    • Drag between seasons
    • Push a job to later
    • Search and filters
  3. The App
    3

    Systems: the register you wish the last owner left

    Make, model, serial, install date, warranty expiry, the filter or part size, where the manual lives and who services it. Search a serial number or a size and it comes straight up.

    • Filter and part sizes
    • Serial numbers
    • Warranty in force or ended
    • Where the manual is
  4. The App
    4

    Contractors and costs: what the house cost

    Who did what, when, what you paid and whether you would call them again, with a history under each name. The totals by system and by year come from the figures you record.

    • Cost by system
    • Cost by year
    • Per-contractor history
    • Call again or not
  5. The App
    5

    Paint: the codes you will need

    Room, surface, color name, the code off the tin, the finish, when it was painted and where the leftover tin is. Your own swatch beside each one.

    • Code and finish
    • Where the tin is
    • Color wall
    • One row per surface
  6. Google Sheets and Excel
    6

    Google Sheets and Excel

    The same thing as a workbook: This Season, Tasks, Systems, Paint, Contractors and Costs. Yellow cells are where you type; the due dates, the warranty flags and the cost totals work themselves out.

    • Excel 2010 or later
    • No macros
    • Example and blank copies
    • Prints neatly

A few good answers

Questions, answered.

Delivery, devices, updates and your data. Still curious? We reply to every email.

Ask us a question
Does it tell me what my house needs?

No. It holds the list you set it up with and tells you when each job on it is due. The library it ships with is a starting point you edit, and the intervals are whatever you type — nothing in it comes from a manufacturer or an industry body, and nothing in it is advice. Follow the manufacturer's own instructions for each system.

How do I get my files?

Right after checkout we email you a Darzen username and password. Sign in to your Darzen account to download the App and the Excel files, and to make your own copy of the Google Sheets edition.

Which edition should I use?

All three come with every purchase, so you do not have to choose. The App feels like software and works offline, Google Sheets lives in your Google account, and Excel is a file you keep.

Which version of Excel do I need?

Excel 2010 or later on Windows and Mac, or Excel for the web. The workbook has no macros.

Does the App need the internet?

Only once, to sign in with the login we email you. After that it opens from the file on your device and works offline.

Where is my data kept?

In the browser on your own device, never on our servers. Save a backup file in one click and restore it on any device or browser.

Can it remind me when something is due?

Yes. Export one calendar file and the due dates and warranty expiries go into the calendar you already use, with reminders. Nothing is sent to anyone else.

Does it work on my phone?

The App works in your phone's browser and the Google Sheets edition works in the Sheets app. Sign in on up to two devices. The part sizes card is built to be read one-handed in a store aisle.

How do updates work?

Updates are free. When a new version is ready, it appears in your Darzen account and the App tells you.

Can I get a refund?

See our refund policy, linked next to the price. Try the live demo first so you know exactly what you are getting.
