A home keeps records. Now it has somewhere to put them.

The permanent record of your home.

Point your camera at an appliance's nameplate and Dormer reads the model and serial off the plate. Keep the warranties, the paint codes, the shutoff locations — and get a nudge before maintenance is due or a warranty lapses.

A different kind of home app

Deliberately not an AI chatbot. Dormer is a quiet, native iOS tool for the things a house accumulates over the years — the model number you need at 9pm when the water heater quits, the paint color from three summers ago, the warranty you can never find when it matters.

On the record

One place for everything your home is made of.

Not a feed to scroll. A record to keep — the kind you'll hand to the next owner, the adjuster, or your future self.

01 — Capture

Scan it once. Never type a model number.

Hold your camera to an appliance's nameplate and Dormer lifts the make, model, and serial straight off the plate — then keeps them on an engraved spec card alongside the warranty, recalls, and upkeep.

02 — Reminders

Dormer remembers, so you don't have to.

Pick from 100+ maintenance tasks or add your own, and Dormer notifies you the morning each is due — furnace filters, smoke alarms, gutters, before small chores become expensive ones. It watches your warranties too, so a plan about to lapse pings you about a month out, while you can still act. Every reminder is scheduled right on your device.

03 — Safety

Recall alerts, checked against the CPSC. Always free.

Dormer matches your appliances against the federal recall database and flags open recalls for your exact make and model. Safety never sits behind a paywall — recall alerts are free for everyone, forever.

04 — Insurance

The proof you'll wish you had after a loss.

Photograph what you own, room by room, with values and a proof checklist. Export a clean PDF for your agent or a claim — and keep your policy's facts close, organized, never second-guessed.

05 — Planning

See what's wearing out before it does.

Dormer estimates each system's remaining life and a projected replacement cost, so a tired water heater becomes a line in next year's budget instead of a Saturday-morning emergency.

06 — Paint

Every color, by room — even the ones you'd forget.

Scan a paint can or the tint sticker on the lid and Dormer reads the label, then matches it to the exact branded shade — out of 17,000+ across Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Valspar and more — and files it under the room with a true-to-life chip. No squinting at a dried drip in the garage. And when you move, the next owner inherits every color in the house.
