Moving from Centriq

A new home for the records you were able to export.

HomeSteward is a smaller, local-first iPhone app for people who want maintenance plans, item details, warranties, receipts, and service history without another account or subscription.

What happened to Centriq?

Homer’s official Centriq shutdown FAQ, published January 20, 2026, says Centriq’s services and servers were taken offline in late 2025 and that information not exported before shutdown can no longer be accessed through Centriq.

A realistic migration path

Bring what you have. Review before saving.

HomeSteward cannot retrieve records from Centriq’s offline servers. It can help organize files or details you already possess.

01

Keep the originals

Preserve any Centriq CSV export, photos, receipts, manuals, and other files somewhere safe before reorganizing them.

02

Import reviewable rows

HomeSteward’s free CSV importer recognizes its supported Centriq-format fields and shows records for review before writing them to your local database.

03

Fill gaps deliberately

Add missing appliances, systems, dates, and history manually. Common maintenance intervals are clearly labeled generic estimates that you can edit.

Is HomeSteward the right replacement?

A good fit for ownership and simplicity—not a clone.

HomeSteward may fit if you want…

  • No account and no developer-operated record server
  • One home and ten items usable for free
  • A one-time Pro option instead of a subscription
  • Local tasks, warranty reminders, and service history
  • Free raw CSV copies of item, plan, and history fields
  • Visible source labels and review before import

Choose another tool if you require…

  • Recovery of Centriq data you did not export before shutdown
  • Cloud sync or live household collaboration
  • Automatic product recognition from a photo
  • Automatic manual, recall, or warranty lookup
  • A full-media backup that recreates photos and PDFs

Your next record stays portable

Raw CSV export is free.

HomeSteward can export its item, maintenance-plan, and history tables without Pro. Those CSV files include their declared columns and stable identifiers.

They do not include receipt/nameplate images, manual PDF bytes, or all app settings, so they are not a complete restorable backup. That limitation is shown plainly in the app and support documentation.
