Read full description

MainteNote is a maintenance notebook for the things you own, from your car and bicycle to your air conditioner, washing machine, and water purifier. Keep schedules, reminders, and service history together on your iPhone. START WITH THE THINGS YOU OWN Choose a preset with suggested maintenance tasks or add something of your own. Adjust the intervals to match your equipment and its manufacturer's guidance. Keep the model, serial number, location, and an optional photo close at hand. PLAN BY TIME OR USAGE Schedule recurring care by calendar interval, usage, or whichever comes first. Enter mileage, operating hours, or other counter readings to keep usage-based schedules current. Readings are entered manually, MainteNote does not monitor your equipment automatically. SEE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION Find overdue, due-soon, and upcoming tasks on Today. Choose a local reminder time, advance alerts, and overdue follow-ups. Notifications are optional and require your permission. KEEP A USEFUL SERVICE HISTORY Record completed maintenance with dates, notes, costs, and service providers. Add photos to service records and log one-off repairs alongside recurring tasks. Look back at what was done without piecing it together from scattered notes. WORK OFFLINE Your maintenance records are saved locally on your iPhone. Add things, log work, update readings, and check your history without Wi-Fi or mobile coverage. SYNC WITH ICLOUD, IF YOU CHOOSE Enable optional iCloud sync to keep your things, schedules, usage readings, service history, and photos available on iPhones using the same Apple Account. Recover previously synced records on a new iPhone or after reinstalling. Sync requires iCloud and an internet connection; everyday maintenance remains available offline. START FREE. UPGRADE ONCE. Create up to three maintenance schedules across all your things for free. Disabled schedules also count toward this limit. MainteNote Pro removes the schedule limit with a one-time lifetime purchase. All other features, including iCloud sync, are available without Pro. No subscription forever.
