About

UpNext

Features
Read full description

UpNext helps you track maintenance on everything you own — starting with the stuff that never comes with a warning light. Your car's dashboard tells you when it needs an oil change. Your house doesn't say a word before the gutters back up, the HVAC filter clogs, or the water heater needs a flush. UpNext is where those reminders live instead. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK • Home — gutters, filters, smoke detectors, water heaters, and more • Lawn & garden — mowing, fertilizing, irrigation, seasonal cleanup • Vehicles — oil changes, tire rotations, registration • Outdoor gear, tools, and anything else that needs upkeep HOW IT WORKS • Add anything you own and set how often it needs attention • Get reminded before it's overdue, not after • Mark tasks complete and build a real maintenance history • Track what you've spent on upkeep over time • Sync across devices with Google or Apple sign-in Built for the maintenance that sneaks up on you — because someone should remind you before it becomes a $400 problem.
