Made for Homeowners running their own renovation — a kitchen, a bathroom, a deck, or several at once — who want the budget, the quotes, the contractors and the payments in one place instead of a spreadsheet that stopped working when the invoices started coming in
A home renovation planner and remodel budget tracker for homeowners: a budget ledger that follows every line from your estimate to the quotes, the agreed price and what is paid, with contingency and change orders, contractor quotes side by side, payment schedules with due dates, selections with lead times, a punch list, a timeline with permits and inspections, and before-and-after photos — one offline app, no formulas to break.

For homeowners, not contractors: the renovation budget, quote comparison, payment schedule and remodel tracker a spreadsheet promises — without the formulas.
Renovation spreadsheets work for the plan and stop working when the invoices start coming in. This dashboard keeps the estimate, the quotes, the agreed price and every payment in step — it opens from a double-click, works offline and keeps your records and photos on your own device.
What it needs, and what it does not do.
Home Renovation Planner is an offline app from ColadoSystems that runs in your web browser from a folder on your own device. It costs $24.99 once, with no subscription and no account, and includes 12 tools, sample data to explore and a PDF guide. Your records stay on your device and are never uploaded.

Everything is saved inside your browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account, so no company holds a copy of your renovation records. They are not encrypted, though: anyone who can use this device and browser can open them, so keep the device locked. Download a backup regularly (Settings → Data & backup → Back up now) and keep it somewhere as safe as the records themselves.
Yes. Open index.html and it runs fully offline. You can also host the folder on any website and choose “Install app” in Chrome or Edge to get a desktop or phone icon that works offline.
Yes. The layout adapts to phones and tablets with a bottom navigation bar. Each device keeps its own data, so use Back up / Restore to move records between devices.
Go to Settings → Data & backup → Erase records. Every sample record is removed, and so are the sample household’s names and address, so nothing of theirs ends up on your printouts. Your other settings are kept.
No. It is for the homeowner: your budget, the quotes you collect, the contractors you hire and the payments you make. There is no estimating for clients, no crews and no invoicing in it. If you run a building business, our construction and general contractor systems are built for that.
A project’s budget is its estimates plus the contingency you hold back. What it is heading for is, line by line, the agreed price plus any approved change orders — or, where nothing is agreed yet, the lowest quote you are still considering, or else your estimate — and never less than what you have already paid. Lines over their estimate and change orders use up the contingency; once what it is heading for passes the budget, the project is over budget by the difference.
Quoted is a price someone has offered. Committed is a price you have agreed — by choosing a quote, or by typing in the agreed price for something you bought directly, such as appliances. Approved change orders add to what is committed. Still to pay is what is committed minus what you have marked as paid.
In this browser on this device, with your other records. Each photo is shrunk to at most 1,600 pixels across before it is stored, which is usually a few hundred kilobytes. They are included in the backup file, so back up regularly and keep the file somewhere safe.
No. It keeps the permits and inspections you tell it about, with their numbers, dates and results. Whether a job needs a permit, and what it must meet, is for your local building department to say.
Each device keeps its own copy of the records, so there is no live sync between two phones. Most households keep it on one laptop and print what the other needs, or move the records between devices with Back up now and Restore.
No. It is made for one person on one device, and records do not sync between devices. To move to another device, save a backup and restore it there.
