## What is Directive?

Directive helps you stay up to date with routine maintenance to safeguard the important things in your life.

Regular maintenance saves money by reducing the need for costly emergency repairs, plus, it gives you peace of mind, knowing that crucial safety equipment is working in case of emergency.

Here's 3 reasons why you need Directive:

1. Makes Maintenance Easy to Remember
Directive includes dozens of templates to help you set up the maintenance tasks you want to complete. Then, it sends you notifications when it's time to complete routine maintenance.

2. Makes Maintenance Easy to Complete
Store details in the app like filter sizes, or the type of oil your car uses, so when the time comes, you know all the things you need. Plus, quick action buttons help you buy parts, find service contractors, or get instructions for tasks like testing your fire extinguisher.

3. Makes Maintenance Easy to Track
A couple taps let you log a task as complete, and Directive will keep a record of it, along with any notes you saved, and then set up a reminder for the next time it's due. Look back any time at your maintenance history.

Directive is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The free version allows you to track up to 10 different maintenance tasks, without any advertisements or nags to purchase.

Directive Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription for a very low annual price (price may vary by region), that gives you access to Directive Pro on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It allows you to track unlimited maintenance tasks, plus, it backs up and syncs your maintenance tasks & history across all your devices. You can even share them with a partner. In addition, it allows more customization, like setting custom repeat intervals for tasks.

The Directive Pro subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours prior end of the subscription. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. You may cancel or disable your subscription by going to your App Store Account Settings after purchase.

### 4/5 — Nice little helper

*2026-04-22*

Very useful for frequent tasks.

### 4/5 — Archive tasks?

*2026-04-04*

Good app. Wish you could archive tasks (which would put them in an “inactive” section), without fully deleting them or their details.

### 3/5 — No 45 Day Option

*2026-02-21, version 1.3.2*

I have to change the AC filter on my HVAC system every 45 days but the app does not have a preset option for 45 days

### 1/5 — No Longer Supported?

*2025-08-01, version 1.3.1*

Has not been updated in four years.  Don’t think it is being developed anymore.

### 1/5 — Had potential but…

*2025-02-02*

Could be a great app, suitable for many different business if it was more customisable. 

I emailed the developer regarding this but as of yet no response . 

This came close to what I was looking for in an app but due to no response and the time past since the last update I’m guessing the developer isn’t bothered with it. 

I’m looking into developing something similar using AI assistance like Adalo .

### 3/5 — Poor Widget

*2023-12-15*

The home screen widget is functional but not good. You can't customize anything, including the colour, or even pick the lists you'd like to see in it. Add to that the lack of updates, and you'll understand the three stars I gave it.

### 2/5 — Rickety.

*2023-01-13*

This app ought to take a page from its own book. It needs updating. 

I wouldn’t mind the relatively low annual subscription rate of $3.99–but not for an app whose sole purpose is to remind users to keep things up to date yet the app itself hasn’t been updated in a year?!

### 3/5 — Good, useful app but needs updating more than once a year

*2022-11-02*

I subscribe to Directive Pro. I enjoy this app. It’s useful to me. However, it kind of erks me to pay for something that hasn’t been updated for over a year. Please update the app.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-08-26*

Got the pro so i can sync between my devices.
Does exactly what it is for.
Dear creator, can you please make notifications setting to nag me every day when a task is over due.
Also an option for every day after my reminder. For example right now it warns me 1 week in advance, but i want it to harass me every day after as well.
That way tasks get done. Thank you!!!

### 4/5 — Great app, needs a Print option

*2022-08-18*

This app works very well, syncing between iPhone and Mac is seamless, the option to print or save a PDF of completed directives would be very nice to have.
