About Upkeeping: Home Maintenance
Your home has hundreds of tasks that need doing - and most of them are easy to forget. Upkeeping is the quiet assistant that remembers for you. Set a task once, and it reminds you when it's due. Change your filter. Flush the water heater. Clear the gutters. The kind of things that get done when you've got a system, and fall apart when you don't. SIMPLE, RECURRING REMINDERS Set any task on a repeating schedule - monthly, quarterly, annually, or custom. Upkeeping sends you a notification when it's time, and resets automatically when you mark it done. 70+ TASK TEMPLATES INCLUDED Don't start from scratch. Upkeeping comes loaded with maintenance templates organized by category: HVAC, plumbing, lawn & garden, appliances, safety, and more. Tap to add, customize as needed, and you're done. BUILT FOR HOMEOWNERS Upkeeping isn't a generic to-do list. Every feature is designed around the rhythms of home maintenance - seasonal tasks, annual inspections, monthly routines. Whether you just bought your first home or you've been at it for years, Upkeeping makes the responsible stuff feel manageable. CLEAN, DISTRACTION-FREE DESIGN No clutter. No ads. No unnecessary noise. Upkeeping is designed to stay out of your way and surface the right information at the right time.

What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated May 17, 2026
Smarter handling for overdue tasks. Overdue Task Reminders, when a notification is ignored and the task slips past its due date, the app now sends a daily nudge to keep it visible. You can turn this off in Notification Settings if you prefer to check the app on your own schedule. Auto-Skip by Task Frequency, a new option in Settings under Task Behavior lets the app automatically roll overdue tasks forward based on their own schedule. A weekly task missed for nearly a week advances to next week's slot; a monthly task does the same at the end of its cycle. This way your next reminder arrives right on time instead of the task sitting in an ever-growing overdue pile. You can also choose a fixed grace period (7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days) or turn auto-skip off entirely.
