What are the best apps for homeowners?

Every homeowner should have Fixxy (repairs + maintenance), a smart-home hub app, and a home inventory app — all free.

Repair + maintenance

Fixxy is the all-in-one for finding pros, AI-diagnosing problems, getting quotes, paying invoices, and logging maintenance history.

Smart home hubs

Apple Home, Google Home, and SmartThings centralize device control. Pair with a smart thermostat and leak sensors for 20–30% utility savings.

Home inventory + insurance

Apps like Encircle and Sortly help document possessions for insurance claims after fire, flood, or theft.

Frequently asked questions

Are homeowner apps secure?

Reputable apps use encryption and OAuth. Avoid storing photos of valuables in apps without two-factor authentication.
