Why HousTask

Nothing to remember

Every job, in the month it’s due.

Filters every few months, gutters twice a year, the HVAC service once. HousTask lays out a year of your home’s maintenance, so each month shows exactly what needs doing and nothing sneaks up on you. Hover or tap a job to see every month it comes back.

        Every month: test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

        Catch it early

        Small jobs now. Not big bills later.

        The first years in a house are when small misses turn into expensive repairs. Every task says why it matters and whether it’s a job for you or a pro, so you know what’s worth doing before it costs you.

        Due now

        Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

        Why it matters

        Alarms only help if they work. A quick test catches dead batteries and failed units.

        Start where you are

        No idea what the last owner did? Start now.

        You don’t need receipts or a service log. Answer “I don’t know” and HousTask puts it on this month’s list. Once it’s done, the schedule keeps itself from there.

        How it works

        Three short steps. Then you always know what’s next.

        1. Home basics

          Type and rough age. No address.

        2. What your home has

          Pick systems and features. Each brings its own maintenance.

        3. When things were last done

          A date, roughly how long ago, or “I don’t know”. All work.

        Try it

        Your answers set the schedule.

        Pick when the HVAC was last serviced and watch the next service land on the calendar. Every job in your home is scheduled the same way, and it moves again each time you mark something done.

        Questions

        I just bought my first house. Where do I start?

        Right here. Answer a few questions about the house and HousTask shows what needs attention this month, then keeps the rest of the year in order for you.

        What if I don’t know when something was last done?

        Most new owners don’t. Say “I don’t know” and HousTask has you start now: do it this month and the schedule runs from there. It never makes up a date.

        Is this a full home-management app?

        No. There are no inventories, project boards, or budgets to keep up. HousTask does one job: what your house needs, and when.

        Does it tell me how to do the work?

        It tells you what needs attention, when, and whether a professional usually does it. It never gives step-by-step instructions for hazardous jobs.

        Do I need an account?

        No. This month’s plan is free and needs no account. Create one to save your home and what you’ve done.

        What does Premium cost?

        $5.99/month, billed monthly, cancel any time; this month’s plan stays free.

        Stop keeping your house in your head.

        A few quick questions. A year of knowing what’s next.
