Update app: an app that displays, at a glance, which items in your home need to be upgraded or replaced.

An app that:<br><br>* scans the bar code on your household items (appliances, vacuum, air purifier, coffee maker, water filter, etc)<br>* displays items that are past a certain age, in a list<br>* offers a link to the current “model” of the item<br><br>Basic idea: pull all of the monitoring of replacement for appliances into one place. (Currently, that’s spread across manufacturer websites, paper manuals, and mental math)<br><br>Ideally, you can either scan a product with your phone and enter the date you store it, or link to Amazon where you bought it (then, just select from products you’ve purchased).<br><br>Then, each item would have a “replace by date” that you input. This could be calculated for you using a default value for each product category (e.g. air purifiers get replaced every 5 years, etc) and you could throw it off with different inputs. (Ie, HEPA filters should be replaced every 3 months, etc).<br><br>Then, you would get a clean page in the app displaying all of the items that have reached their “replace by date” along with a link to the current model of that item for you to find/buy a replacement. You could also set a reminder for future replacements in the app.<br><br>You could also set a (customizable) slider to display items that are X% of the way to needing replacement and set notifications for then.<br><br>Update: If I get enough interest, I’ll start working on this, and keep the post updated with how it’s going.
