Looking for a Centriq Alternative?

Centriq was a great app that helped homeowners document their equipment with product manuals and how-to videos. Unfortunately, Centriq has shut down. If you're looking for a new home for your home data, HomeRunbook picks up where Centriq left off — and goes much further with topology-aware digital twins.

Why HomeRunbook is the Best Next Step

Beyond Manuals

Centriq stored your product manuals. HomeRunbook goes further with topology maps that show how every system in your home connects — electrical circuits, plumbing paths, HVAC zones, and more.

AI Replaces How-To Videos

Instead of generic how-to videos, HomeRunbook's AI assistant gives you personalized troubleshooting steps based on your specific equipment, its connections, and its history.

Photo Recognition

Rebuild your home inventory fast. Point your camera at equipment labels and AI reads the make, model, serial number, and specs. Get back up and running in minutes, not hours.

System Understanding

Centriq tracked individual pieces of equipment. HomeRunbook understands how they work together — trace which breaker feeds your kitchen, follow water lines, and see dependencies at a glance.

Collaboration

Share your home's digital twin with family members, contractors, or property managers. Multiple users can view and edit simultaneously with role-based permissions.

Future-Proof

HomeRunbook is actively developed with new features shipping regularly. Your home data is safe on a growing platform — no more worrying about your app disappearing overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Centriq shut down?

Centriq discontinued its service. While the exact reasons weren't publicly detailed, the home management app market has been evolving. HomeRunbook represents the next generation of home documentation with topology-aware digital twins.

Can I import my Centriq data into HomeRunbook?

Since Centriq has shut down, direct data import may not be possible. However, HomeRunbook's Visual Add feature makes rebuilding your home profile fast — photograph equipment labels and AI extracts all the details.

What does HomeRunbook offer that Centriq didn't?

HomeRunbook adds topology mapping, system connection tracing, an AI assistant that knows your specific equipment, floor plan overlays, real-time collaboration, and safety checks — none of which were available in Centriq.

Is HomeRunbook free to start?

Yes. The Explorer plan is completely free with 1 property, 10 components, and visual topology mapping. No credit card required.
