Read full description

Upkeep keeps your vehicle's service history on your phone - not in someone else's cloud. Add your vehicles, log the work as it happens, and Upkeep works out what's due next from both the calendar and your mileage. It reminds you before something becomes a problem, and never asks you to create an account. YOUR GARAGE • Track as many vehicles as you like - cars, vans, bikes, trucks • A clear maintenance health score for each one • Mileage in kilometres or miles LOG THE WORK • Service, repairs, oil changes and fluid work • One-tap suggestions for common jobs • Cost, mileage, workshop, notes and photos of receipts • A complete, searchable history for every vehicle NEVER MISS A SERVICE • Plan by date, by mileage, or both - whichever comes first • Recurring services roll forward from when the work was actually done • Reminders arrive at a time you choose • Hide vehicle details on your lock screen if you prefer • Mileage is estimated from how you actually drive, so due dates stay right SCAN YOUR ODOMETER • Photograph the dashboard instead of typing the reading • Everything happens on your device - the photo is never uploaded • Upkeep asks you to confirm every reading, and tells you when it isn't sure YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Everything is stored on this device • No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync • No analytics, no advertising, no tracking • Export a full backup whenever you like, in a plain JSON file you control Because your data lives on your phone, backing up matters - Upkeep makes exporting one tap and reminds you periodically. Upkeep is free, with no subscriptions and no in-app purchases.
