AppliancePal is your home's maintenance log. Most of us treat home appliances like they'll run forever — but they won't. A refrigerator's condenser coils need cleaning every six months, your HVAC filter wants to be replaced just as often, and your water heater has a sacrificial anode rod that's been quietly corroding since the day it was installed. When we skip these small tasks, we trade a $20 filter for an $800 compressor. AppliancePal makes sure that doesn't happen. The app tracks every appliance in your home — HVAC systems, refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, water heaters, reverse osmosis filters, and any custom appliance you add. It suggests manufacturer-recommended schedules for each maintenance task so there's no Googling or guesswork, and reminds you before each cycle is due so you can act in time rather than after something breaks. Everything sits on a clean dashboard with a status indicator for each cycle: green when you're cruising, yellow when something's coming up, and red when you're overdue. When you finish a task, hit Done and the cycle resets automatically. Every recommendation is sourced from how manufacturers and licensed technicians actually maintain residential appliances. You'll see the frequency, step-by-step actions, and why each task matters. No marketing fluff. AppliancePal is simple and respectful. No accounts, no data collection, no spam notifications — just the maintenance reminders you actually need, delivered when you need them. Track your first appliance for free, and unlock unlimited tracking with a one-time $1.99 purchase, about the cost of a small coffee for the developer. Your appliances will thank you.
