What's New - HomeSpare 1.2
HomeSpare now does the thing its name promises: know the exact spare, know how many you have, and know when to replace it - all offline.
New: built-in size & part Reference
A bundled, searchable, fully offline reference so you can identify and record the right part once:
- HVAC & water filters with published nominal-vs-actual dimensions (a "16x25x1" really measures about 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 in), plus deep 4" and 5" media filters, fridge water filters, and range-hood filters - each with a typical replacement interval.
- A MERV rating guide (what MERV 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16 actually capture).
- Light-bulb base and shape codes (A19/E26, BR30, PAR38, candelabra E12, intermediate E17, GU10, GU5.3/MR16, appliance bulbs).
- Household battery sizes and equivalents (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, CR2032/CR2025/CR2016, LR44, A23 with their common cross-reference names).
Tap any entry to expand the detail, then "Add as a spare" to drop a pre-filled record into your library.
New: real stock tracking with low-stock alerts
Every spare now has an on-hand count and a per-item reorder level. Use the +/- counter on each row as you install or restock. HomeSpare flags items as LOW (at or below your reorder level) or OUT (zero), and surfaces them on the dashboard, in the new "Low" filter, and at the top of your store run list.
New: automatic replacement reminders
Set how often an item recurs (monthly through yearly) and when you last replaced it. HomeSpare computes the next-due date and counts it down in the library ("due in 12 days", "overdue 3d"). Swipe right or tap "Replaced" to record today, roll the schedule forward, and use one unit from stock.
New: store run list
The Export tab now leads with a focused, shareable checklist of only the spares that are low, out, or overdue - each with its size/part and current count. Take it to the hardware store.
Improved
- CSV export now includes quantity, reorder level, a low-stock flag, and replacement interval columns.
- Dashboard metrics show low stock, total units on hand, due this week, and overdue.
- New sort option: stock low -> high. New filters: Active, Low, Due.
- Fixed the Info screen, which previously showed an out-of-date version number.
Still 100% offline: no account, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases, and no network calls. Reference data is bundled in the app - always confirm the size or part printed on your own equipment before buying.
