The information you don't want to be searching for in an emergency
Most people who own a home for long enough eventually have one bad night — a burst pipe, a gas smell, a break-in while they're traveling. In that moment, knowing where the main water shutoff is (and that a house-sitter or neighbor can find it too) is the difference between a contained problem and a flooded basement.
HOMEOS's Emergency Mode exists for exactly that scenario: shutoff locations and instructions, insurance policy numbers, and emergency contacts, all reachable in one tap — by you, or by anyone you've trusted with access — without digging through file folders under stress.
