About

Overdue

Features
Read full description

Overdue helps you stay on top of the recurring tasks that quietly slip through the cracks, from replacing water filters and mowing the lawn to seasonal maintenance and one-off chores you know you’ll need to revisit. Instead of juggling reminders in your head, scattered notes, or generic to-do lists, Overdue keeps a simple history of when things were last done, shows what’s overdue or coming up next, and makes it easy to organize everything by tags like Household, Yard, or different properties. - Track recurring household, maintenance, and personal tasks in one simple app - See at a glance what’s overdue, due soon, or recently completed - Record completion history so you always know when something was last done - Add reminders for scheduled tasks so important jobs don’t get missed - Search, sort, and filter tasks to focus on exactly what matters - View detailed item history, notes, status, and next due date - Manage and rename tags as your system evolves - Use Home Screen Widgets to keep an eye on the most important tasks
