Frequently asked questions
What is PropertyNest?+
PropertyNest is a private, offline-first property record app for Android. It helps you:
- Catalog every property you own with rooms and assets
- Scan and store documents, warranties, and receipts with OCR
- Log maintenance history and service visits
- Set reminders for upcoming tasks and warranty expirations
- Generate a Property Passport PDF for insurance or handovers (Premium)
All data is stored on your device -- no accounts, no uploads, 100% private.
What can I track in PropertyNest?+
PropertyNest organises everything by property and room. You can track:
- Properties -- any home, rental, or investment property you own
- Rooms -- kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, garage, garden, and any custom rooms
- Assets and appliances -- with model number, serial number, purchase date, and cost
- Documents -- manuals, warranties, invoices, permits, and any scanned papers
- Maintenance records -- service visits, repairs, costs, contractor details, and photos
- Reminders -- recurring and one-off tasks tied to specific assets or rooms
How does document scanning work?+
PropertyNest uses on-device text recognition for OCR. Point your camera at any document -- a warranty card, appliance manual, or service receipt -- and the app extracts the text automatically. Everything happens on your device: no image or text is sent to any server. Scanned documents are filed under the relevant asset for easy retrieval.
What is the Property Passport?+
The Property Passport is a comprehensive PDF export of your full property record -- all rooms, assets, documents, warranties, and maintenance history in one organised document. It's a Premium feature, useful for:
- Insurance claims (proof of ownership and asset values)
- Tenant handovers (full record of appliances and their condition)
- Selling a property (hand over the full maintenance history to the buyer)
- Your own offline archive

I've hit the free tier limit
The free tier supports 1 property, up to 20 assets, and up to 3 documents per asset. To add more, upgrade to Premium via Settings → Premium in the app. If you have an active Premium subscription and are still seeing the limit, tap "Restore purchases" in the Premium screen.
Document scan text is incorrect
OCR accuracy depends on document quality and lighting. For best results: ensure the document is flat and well-lit, avoid shadows across the text, and hold your camera steady. You can always edit extracted text manually after scanning.
