Home Maintenance Tracker

About this tool

Keep a list of home jobs that come back again and again, such as testing alarms, cleaning filters or clearing gutters. Enter how many months apart each job should be done and when you last did it, and the tracker shows the next due date and what is overdue. The list is kept in this browser only.

How it works

• Next due is the last-done date plus the number of months you set. If that day does not exist in the target month, such as the 31st in a 30-day month, the last day of the month is used.
• Status shows Overdue by a number of days, Due today, Due in a number of days when it is within 30 days, or Later.
• The summary counts overdue jobs, jobs due in the next 30 days and jobs that have no last-done date yet.
• Coming up lists every dated job by next due date, earliest first. Sort by last done puts the jobs done longest ago at the top.

Common questions

How often should each job be done?

Follow the manual of the appliance or the advice of its maker or installer. The intervals in the example are only examples, so change them to suit your home.

What do I change when I finish a job?

Set its last-done date to the day you did it. The next due date and the status move forward straight away.

Can I set a job for every few weeks?

The repeat is counted in whole months, and a part month is rounded. For weekly jobs, use 1 month and write the real rhythm in the notes, or keep them on a separate checklist.
