Centriq’s consumer app is discontinued. Here’s what it used to do, how PropSteward compares today, and how to migrate warranties and planning.

November 1, 2025 · 5 min read

Update (2025–2026): Centriq wound down its consumer home app in early 2025. You can’t sign up or rely on it anymore. This article keeps a historical comparison so former Centriq users know what changed—and why PropSteward is built for what you still need: warranties, maintenance, replacement timing, and budgets.

What Centriq used to do well

Historically, Centriq focused on documentation and reminders:

  • Manuals, parts, and accessories — Capture product info from a label photo and get linked manuals, parts, and accessories.
  • Maintenance tasks and reminders — Tasks and nudges via mobile and email.
  • Recall monitoring and notifications — Recall alerts for registered products.
  • Inventory export — Export inventory for your records.

That was a strong fit when your main goal was one place for manuals, maintenance, and recalls. Those needs don’t disappear when an app shuts down—you still have to store PDFs and stay on top of tasks somewhere.

What PropSteward is built for today

PropSteward is built for replacement planning and budgeting—the layer Centriq did not emphasize:

  • Track ages, warranties, costs, and risks so you can plan replacements, avoid emergencies, and protect your budget.
  • Replacement Forecasting, Replacement Planner, Failure Risk Score, Home Risk Score, warranty and receipt storage, warranty-expiration reminders, and on Pro: Repair vs. Replace, Reserve Planner, Appliance EOL alerts, Home Health Reports, exports, and shareable links.

So: Centriq (while live) excelled at documentation and recall/maintenance reminders; PropSteward adds the financial and timing layer so you can see when things might need replacing and how to budget—and it’s a product you can still use in 2026.
