HomeGrove keeps your home's full maintenance history in one beautiful place. Never forget a filter, lose a contractor's number, or wonder when an air filter was last changed. Built by a homeowner who got tired of forgetting when the furnace was last serviced. Every detail was designed around how home maintenance actually works. No subscription — buy it once, keep it forever. SMART SCHEDULING, BACKED BY RESEARCH Over 100 maintenance tasks filtered by your climate zone, home type, heating and cooling systems, and special features. Each task includes verified info on why it matters — sourced from the DOE, EPA, and NFPA — so you understand what's at stake, not just what's due. Northern homeowners get winterization reminders. Desert homes get evaporative cooler maintenance. Coastal climates get moisture and drainage checks. Every task is scheduled for the right season. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOUR TIME Quick tasks like checking smoke detectors notify you any day. Weekend projects like cleaning gutters remind you on Saturday morning. Professional jobs like HVAC servicing give you lead time to call a contractor. You control the exact reminder times in Settings. TRACK EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Log every service call with cost, provider, and notes. Your dashboard shows a maintenance health score and annual spend at a glance. Store contractor phone numbers and tap to call when something breaks. Track equipment details — brand, model, serial number, warranty status — so you're never scrambling for information. SHARE YOUR HOME Invite your partner or family to share your home's maintenance. Everyone sees the same tasks, logs completions, and gets reminders — all synced privately through iCloud.
