Summary
Digital Home Manual (DHM) has launched a home management platform designed to centralize the information owners typically need to maintain a property, including paint colors, HVAC service history, appliance warranties, electrician contacts and filter replacement schedules. According to the company's press release dated October 13, 2026, the platform creates a "living record of the home" that the company says can grow with the property and use technology to make maintenance proactive rather than reactive.
The platform organizes room finishes and materials, documents and warranties, service contacts, home inventory, insurance information and maintenance history in one place. Its stated technology-forward features include predictive maintenance, voice-activated entry, document scanning and an "Ask DHM" function intended to help homeowners anticipate needs before minor issues escalate. Owners of multiple properties receive a separate digital manual for each home.
The company was co-founded by Kerry David, who built the application and serves as CEO leading technology, product development, strategy and operations, and Todd Anthony, Chief Design Officer, whose concept grew out of nearly four decades of interior design work in which project knowledge was often lost after completion. The release describes the product as a digital evolution of the traditional homeowner binder.
The release positions DHM as a relationship tool for real estate professionals, suggesting that agents and brokerages can offer the platform as a post-closing resource in place of a traditional closing gift. The product is designed for consumers, and the company says it is exploring partnerships with real estate professionals, brokerages, builders, designers and property managers. The release cites U.S. Census Bureau data showing nearly 87 million owner-occupied U.S. households in the second quarter of 2026 and more than 5 million U.S. properties held for seasonal or occasional use.
DHM is available now at app.DigitalHomeManual.com and works through a web browser. Plans are offered for individual homeowners, multiple-property owners and professionals. The release does not disclose pricing, funding, or user metrics.
