Homiva

Household item tracking & smart reminders

Homiva helps you track household items that need periodic replacement or have expiry dates, reminds you at the right time, and supports email plus available Apple and Google sign-in options so your household data stays in sync across devices.

GETTING STARTED

How to use Homiva

1 — Add your first item

Tap the Add item button on the Items tab. Choose between two item types:

  • Rotation item — something you replace on a fixed cycle (e.g. water filter every 90 days, toothbrush every 30 days).
  • Stock item — something with an expiry or "open by" date (e.g. medicine, food, cleaning supplies).

2 — Enable reminders

Go to Settings → Reminders & notifications and allow push notifications. Set your preferred daily reminder time and how many days in advance you want to be notified. Homiva will send you a notification when items need attention.

3 — Mark an item as replaced / reviewed

On the Dashboard or Items list, tap an item and choose Replace (rotation) or Review (stock). The countdown resets automatically.

4 — Organize items by family member

Go to Settings → Family members to add family member labels. You can assign each item to the right person so items for each family member stay organized.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I not receiving reminders?

Check the following:

  1. Go to your device Settings → Notifications → Homiva and ensure notifications are allowed.
  2. In the app, go to Settings → Reminders and confirm reminders are enabled with a valid time set.
  3. Make sure the item's due date is within your configured advance-notice window.
  4. Check that Do Not Disturb / Focus mode is not blocking notifications.
What is the difference between Rotation and Stock items?

Rotation items are things you replace periodically by schedule — like filters, toothbrushes, or batteries. You set a replacement interval (e.g. every 60 days) and Homiva counts down from the last replacement date.

Stock items are things with a fixed expiry or open-by date — like medication, food, or skincare products. You record the expiry date and Homiva reminds you before it lapses.

How do I sync across multiple devices?
Sign in with the same Homiva account on all devices. If you linked Apple or Google sign-in, you can continue with any sign-in method connected to that same account. Your items, reminders, and settings sync automatically. Changes made on one device appear on all others within seconds.
What sign-in methods does Homiva support?
Homiva supports email sign-in, and where available, Apple and Google sign-in. After signing in, you can review linked providers in Settings → Connected accounts.
Can I organize items for different family members?
You can add family member labels in Settings → Family Members and assign items to each person. Each family member's items stay organized separately under the same account.
How do I delete an item?
Open the item detail page, then tap the menu in the top-right corner and choose Delete. Deleted items cannot be recovered.
How do I change the app language or timezone?
Homiva follows your device language by default (English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, and 日本語 are supported). To change it, update your device language in system settings.

Timezone is set in Settings → Account profile → Language & time zone inside the app and is stored per-account.
