The house never reminds you. It just quietly runs out of time.

When did you last change the furnace filter? Is the water in the emergency kit still good? Did the homeowners policy renew last month or the month before? Every one of those matters, and every one of them disappears the moment it lands in the same list as "buy milk."

Home Maintenance Reminder keeps the house on its own list.

[ ADD IT FROM A TEMPLATE ]

You don't have to work out what belongs on the list. Six categories — basic maintenance, emergency prep, heating and cooling, water and drains, kitchen, contracts and warranties — come filled in with the things a house actually needs.

• Change the air filter
• Replace the water filter
• Test the smoke and CO alarms
• Clear the dryer vent and the gutters
• Test the sump pump
• Check your homeowners, flood and earthquake coverage
• Check appliance and home systems warranties
• Check when the property tax is due
and more

Check off several at once and the first setup takes a couple of minutes. Anything the templates don't cover, you can type in yourself — HOA dues, a vehicle registration renewal. You can edit the templates too, or write your own.

[ A REMINDER BEFORE THE DATE ]

Every task carries its own reminder, and you choose when it lands: on the day, 1 day, 3 days, a week, two weeks, or a month ahead. Cleaning can wait until the morning of. An insurance renewal is easier a month out, while there is still time to shop it.

Reminders arrive at 8 AM, 9 AM, or 8 PM, whichever suits you. They are scheduled on the device itself, so there is no account and no sign-in.

[ DONE MEANS THE NEXT DATE IS SET ]

Mark it done and the next due date is worked out from the repeat you chose — every month, every three months, every year. Tapped it by mistake? Undo it.

Not today? Push it to tomorrow, to next week, or to a date you pick.

[ SEE THE WHOLE HOUSE AT ONCE ]

The home screen draws your house. Each category shows what it is carrying and flags anything overdue, so you read the state of the house in the shape of a house. Below it, everything is laid out by date and colored by how close it is: overdue, today, this week, this month, later.

What you finish is kept, month by month, so "when did we last do this?" has an answer.

[ IT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE ]

Your tasks and your records live in this device and nowhere else. Nothing is uploaded. There is no account to create.

Getting a new phone? Export everything to a file from Settings and load it on the new one.

[ ENGLISH AND JAPANESE ]

The app follows your device language, and you can pin it in Settings.

[ WHO IT IS FOR ]

• Homeowners who mean to keep up with the house and lose track of when
• Anyone who has found an expired emergency kit
• Anyone who would rather not dig out the policy to check the renewal date
• Anyone whose calendar or notes app stopped working for this

[ WHAT IT COSTS ]

Free. You can keep 15 tasks, and if you need more room, watching a short video in Settings adds 5 slots at a time. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription. Ads appear at the bottom of the home and settings screens.

[ PLEASE NOTE ]

This app helps you keep track of your home's maintenance schedule and deadlines. It does not guarantee that any emergency preparation, inspection, or contract renewal is actually carried out, nor does it guarantee your safety. It does not provide insurance, tax, or legal advice. For decisions about coverage or filings, check with your insurer, your local tax office, or a qualified professional. For terms and deadlines that matter, always check your contracts and official documents. If you have any concern about your home's fixtures or its structure, please consult a professional.
