A Must for Organization and Safety

Having bought our house in 2023 from a seller who fancied himself a DIYer, it turns out he was awful at electricity (and also most all handyman skills). As I have played “whack-a-mole” fixing newly arising issues, while trying to make the house our own separately, I’ve worked on the electricity one area at a time. Figuring out the former owner’s logic, while also figuring out the two good sized additions he oversaw, has been a challenge, especially electricity wise. I was originally writing down what each breaker did in a notepad, but then another project/issue would pop up, or the notepad disappeared. That’s when I found the Breaker Box - Panel Tool. With room to add notes, and customize, I’m almost done (I have a main box and a separate box for my backup generator). I’d give the app 4.5 starts if it was an option, but it’s not a 5 only because it’s not really intuitive. You have to use it to figure it out, and then it’s great. If you’re reading this, just buy it and start using it - you’ll be glad your did.

This is a great app, especially for those of us who aren’t the original owners of a home and have found that the breaker box has been labeled, well, less than accurately. I’m in the process of figuring out what the various breakers in my house actually control and labeling them appropriately and this app is a big help. Would love to see an update that allows syncing between devices. For example, I like to use my iPad to enter the information into the app but if I need to run into the garage and check a breaker it would be handy if I could just take my phone and all of the info that I had entered with my iPad would automatically be there. Also, I could use an option for 20 amp double pole breakers, as well. That would make this an absolute 5 star app.

Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. I will add the 20 amp double pole option and push an update this week. As for the syncing data between devices - this will require more time. The app would require a login process in order to know which devices to sync and a change to how the data is stored locally on each device. I definitely see the benefit for people with multiple devices while also giving added benefit of a remote backup of your data. I can start building this out but I wouldn’t expect to see anything for a month or so.Update: 1.0.6 adds the 20A double pole option and a number of other improvements.

Update: After receiving the response from the developer, I now gave it 5 stars, and the app checks all the boxes. Thanks so much for the response, and all the features this app offers. The issues below were available already I just didn’t know. Every homeowner, or anyone helping family members should buy this app! This app is exactly what I was looking for, but I didn’t even know there was an app like this. It works great. One thing I wish could be added was adding multiple fixtures to a breaker, and adding custom room names. Other than that it’s perfect for me. Thanks for this app, and I’m looking forward to the next update!!

Good news! Both of these are possible - if you edit a breaker you can see a way to add as many fixtures as you want at the bottom of the screen. And tap on the rooms tab to see a list of rooms with a add button at the bottom to add new rooms.

A great app to manage your breaker panel and electricals.

I’ve been using this app for several years now, and the author keeps making improvements. After documenting my last home with help from this tool, I was able to see and finally understand why certain outlets and fixtures were always giving me issues. With the data I provided, my electrician was able to quickly find and correct several wiring faults that a previous DIY owner of the home had introduced. The app has been worth every penny. I’ve passed this panel data on to my son, who bought that house from me, and now I’m busy mapping our newly purchased retirement home!

Syncing across devices will be part of the next release (1.9.0) coming before the end of October.
