About this app

RoofWard helps you keep track of the jobs a home needs again and again — the smoke alarm battery, the extractor hood filter, the gutters, the heating service, the chimney sweep's visit.

FEATURES

• Record a task with name, interval, next date and cost
• Reminders before the next date, with a lead time you choose, from a few days to several months
• Tick off as done — the next date rolls forward and the history is kept
• Free intervals: weekly through yearly, or your own number of days for the long ones
• Attach up to ten documents per entry — an existing photo, a PDF from your files, or a picture taken on the spot. The service record, the tradesperson's invoice and the sweep's certificate end up on the same entry
• Group entries by area: house, flat, garage, cellar, roof
• Pick a symbol for each entry from the set that ships with the app
• Calendar with day, week, month and year views
• Home screen widget: upcoming dates and overdue entries
• Insights and cost by category
• Show amounts in a different currency, using current European Central Bank rates
• Categories for smoke alarms, filters, heating and plumbing, gutters and exterior, the chimney sweep, electrics and appliances
• Light and dark design, five colour themes, 21 languages

YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU

RoofWard works without a user account and without registration. Everything you enter lives in a local database on your device. An attached document stays there too: RoofWard keeps its own copy in the app's private storage and does not upload it. There is no developer-operated server that could receive your data.

Photographing a document requires no camera permission from RoofWard. The picture is taken by the camera app on your device. Scaling the photo down discards the metadata embedded in it, including where it was taken.

No ads. No analytics or tracking services. The only outbound connections are the purchase through Google Play and — only if you use currency conversion — fetching exchange rates.

FREE AND PREMIUM

The free version tracks up to 8 entries. Premium removes that limit and supports further development. Premium is a subscription billed through Google Play; the current price is shown before you buy, and you can cancel any time in the Play Store.

ABOUT REMINDERS

Reminders are scheduled locally on your device and delivered by the Android system. Depending on battery saving settings, Doze mode or your manufacturer's own battery optimization, they may arrive later than set, or not at all.

RoofWard is a personal record-keeping tool. It does not determine when maintenance is legally due, it does not replace a required inspection, and it is not proof that one took place. The intervals it offers are convenient starting values you are meant to change; what applies to your home follows from the manufacturer's instructions and from the rules where you live. In Germany, smoke alarms are governed by the building code of each federal state, and those rules differ from state to state and in whether they bind the owner or the tenant.
