Your house is quietly plotting to break while you sleep — and you’re dreaming about redoing the kitchen. micasa tracks both from your terminal.
Single SQLite file. No cloud. No account. No subscriptions.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- When did I last change the furnace filter? Maintenance schedules, auto-computed due dates, full service history.
- What if we finally did the backyard? Projects from napkin sketch to completion — or graceful abandonment.
- How much would it actually cost to… Quotes side by side, vendor history, and the math you need to actually decide.
- Is the dishwasher still under warranty? Appliance tracking with purchase dates, warranty status, and maintenance history tied to each one.
- The basement is leaking again. Log incidents with severity and location, link them to appliances and vendors, and resolve them when fixed.
- Who did we use last time? A vendor directory with contact info, quote history, and every job they’ve done for you.
- Where’s the warranty card? Attach files (manuals, invoices, photos) directly to projects and appliances. Stored as BLOBs in the same SQLite file — one cp backs up everything. PDFs and images are automatically processed with text extraction, OCR for scanned documents, and optional LLM-powered structured data extraction that pre-fills form fields.
- How much have I spent on plumbing? Press @ to chat with a local LLM about your data. It writes the SQL, runs the query, and summarizes the results — all on your machine.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
