What is Bodie?
Bodie is a digital service history for your home. It helps you track repairs, upgrades, warranties, documents, vendors, and maintenance so you always know what was done, when it was done, and what it cost. Think of it like Carfax for your home.
Why should I track my home maintenance?
Because most homeowners forget details over time. Tracking your home maintenance helps you stay organized, make better repair decisions, protect warranty coverage, understand where your money is going, and show documented care when it matters most.
What can I do with Bodie as a homeowner?

How do I get started?
Choose the membership that fits your needs, create your account, then start adding records like receipts, repairs, warranties, and documents. The more you track, the more valuable and useful your home history becomes.
Is there a mobile app?
A dedicated Bodie mobile app is currently in development for iPhone and Android. In the meantime, your account and home records are fully accessible through the website.
Can Bodie help me when I sell my home?

What is a Bodie Report?
A Bodie Report is a professional home maintenance report generated from your records. It gives you a clean, shareable summary of repairs, upgrades, service history, and documentation that can be useful for buyers, agents, insurers, or contractors.
What types of records can I store?
You can store receipts, repair records, inspections, warranties, contractor details, project notes, photos, and important documents. Over time, this creates a complete service history for your property.
How does Bodie handle warranty tracking?
Bodie helps you keep warranties organized in one place, so you are not digging through drawers, folders, or old emails when something breaks. You can store warranty details, connect them to your records, and stay on top of important coverage dates.
Can I manage more than one property?
Yes. Bodie can help you keep separate records for multiple properties, making it easier to stay organized whether you own a primary home, a second home, or an investment property.
Saving Money
How does Bodie help me save money?
Bodie helps you spot patterns in home expenses, stay on top of routine maintenance, avoid missed warranty opportunities, and keep records organized for taxes, budgeting, and smarter repair decisions. Sometimes one avoided mistake can cover the cost many times over.
How much maintenance should homeowners expect each year?
Home maintenance costs vary, but many homeowners spend thousands each year on upkeep, repairs, and replacements. Keeping accurate records helps you understand where your money goes and make smarter decisions over time.
AI Features
What’s included in my monthly AI digest?
Your monthly AI digest highlights useful patterns in your home records, including maintenance trends, reminders, and insights based on the information you have already logged. As your records grow, the insights become more personalized and more useful.
Does AI replace my judgment?
No. AI is there to support your decision making, not replace it. It can help surface patterns, flag unusual costs, and suggest things to pay attention to, but you still decide what action to take for your home.
Account & Sharing
Can I share access with my spouse, partner, or co-owner?
Yes. Bodie makes it easier to keep everyone on the same page by giving household members and trusted collaborators access to the same home history, documents, and records.
Vendors & Contractors
Can Bodie help me find contractors?
Yes. Bodie includes a community-powered Vendor Directory where homeowners can discover contractors that other Bodie users trust. When subscribers add a contractor they like, they can choose to share that vendor with the Bodie community. Over time this builds a growing directory of real contractors recommended by real homeowners.
Can I keep track of my own contractors?
Absolutely. Bodie lets you build your own personal vendor directory with plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, and other service providers. You can track who did the work, what you paid, and when the service was completed, making it easier to call the right person the next time you need help.
Privacy & Data
Is my home data private?
Yes. Your home information is intended to stay private and accessible only to you and the people you choose to share it with. Protecting your records and respecting your privacy is a core part of the Bodie experience.
How does Bodie protect my information?
Bodie uses security measures designed to protect your records and account information. Your data is stored securely so it is not tied to just one device, helping keep your information available and protected when you log in.
