You've been doing it the same way for years. If it was working, you wouldn't be here. SMPLTSK is the fix that takes 60 seconds to learn. SMPLTSK is a simple, visual task app built by a builder, for builders and tradies. SNAP A PHOTO Take a picture of any job site, work area, or equipment. DRAW AND MARK THE TASKS Draw or tap anywhere on the photo to place numbered markers. Add a description for each task. Red markers = work pending. SET REMINDERS AND TRACK COMPLETION Workers tap each marker to read instructions, complete the task, and mark it done. Red turns to green โ€” instant visual progress. SHARE INSTANTLY Send task photos to anyone via text, email, or any messaging app. No accounts needed for your team to view and understand. WHY VISUAL TASK LISTS WORK BETTER With SMPLTSK, there's no confusion about WHICH tile needs replacing or WHERE the defect is. Point at it. Mark it. Done. PERFECT FOR: - Defect lists and snagging - Punch lists and inspections - Parts lists and shopping reminders - Maintenance checklists - Construction site tasks - Equipment service reminders - Property inspections - Any visual task communication WHY AUSTRALIAN BUILDERS LOVE SMPLTSK: - No training needed โ€” if you can take a photo, you can use it - Free to try โ€” one image, six tasks, no credit card required - Made by a registered Melbourne builder who understands your problems - Simple interface designed for busy tradies, not tech experts THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE: You SMS: "Replace the third tile from the left, four rows up from the corner near the door." With SMPLTSK you send an image with the exact tile marked. Workers send a completion photo back. No confusion, no wasted time. Which one has a higher chance of getting it done right the first time? BUILT FROM REAL EXPERIENCE: "As a registered builder, I have to communicate effectively or profits vanish. I tried many methods but unfinished tasks, forgotten tools and worker misunderstandings were eating my time and money. I learned that most people respond better to visual cues so I created SMPLTSK. Now I send tasks quickly and follow progress as my workers see their jobs and tick off their lists." Download free today. Stop the back-and-forth. Make it a SMPLTSK.

Stop guessing what to do this weekend. โ€ข Home jobs prioritised by effort, cost and importance โ€ข Shared calendar and grocery lists for the whole household โ€ข Assign tasks and get notified when they are done Every homeowner knows the feeling. There is always something that needs doing. A tap that drips, gutters to clean, smoke detectors to check, a fence that leans a little more each winter. The list grows. You forget what is urgent. You cannot agree with your partner on what to tackle first. Weekends slip by without a plan. HomeQueue fixes this. It is the only app that priority-scores every household job, plans your weekends around what matters most, and keeps your whole household in sync with a shared calendar, shared lists, and shared responsibility. PRIORITY SCORING THAT DECIDES FOR YOU Rate each job by effort, cost, and how much it matters to you. HomeQueue scores everything and ranks your list so you can see at a glance what to tackle first. Stop debating whether to fix the leaky tap or service the air conditioning. HomeQueue sorts it for you. PLAN YOUR WEEKENDS, NOT YOUR STRESS The Plan tab organises jobs by week, ranked by priority. Set your household's availability (hours per weekend, days you are away) and tap the flashing Optimise button. HomeQueue suggests the smartest schedule based on everyone's time, not just yours. Accept, reject, or drag jobs between weeks. Lock tasks in place when the plan is set. SHARE THE LOAD WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Invite your partner, family, or housemates. Assign jobs to specific people and get notified when tasks are done. Owner, admin, and member roles keep permissions clear. Everyone sees the same plan. No more "I didn't know that needed doing." HUB: SHARED CALENDAR AND LISTS The Hub brings your whole household together in one place. Share a family calendar, create household task lists, and manage a shared grocery list with items organised by category. Everyone stays in sync across all their devices, in real time. 50+ MAINTENANCE TEMPLATES BUILT IN Service the air conditioner. Clean the gutters. Check smoke detectors. Flush the hot water system. Choose from over 50 pre-built recurring maintenance templates or create custom ones with any interval. HomeQueue reminds you before critical upkeep falls behind. CAPTURE JOBS IN SECONDS Spot something that needs fixing? Say "Hey Siri, create a HomeQueue job" and it is captured instantly. Add details, photos, and priority later. WORKS ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES Everything syncs between your iPhone and the web app at homequeue.app. Add a job on your phone, plan your weekend on your laptop.

Pro: Unlimited jobs, unlimited upkeep, photo attachments, multiple households. HomeQueue is for people who own property and want to stay on top of it, whether you live there or rent it out. Not for professional property managers or letting agencies. Just you, your property, and a clear plan for what to tackle next.
