DueNext helps you stay on top of recurring responsibilities for the things that matter in your life. Organize maintenance and routine care around the assets you care about — like your home, car, pets, appliances, and more. Each asset has its own status, giving you a clear view of how well things are being maintained and what needs attention next. The app focuses primarily on recurring maintenance — the types of tasks that should be done regularly to keep things running smoothly. Tasks automatically calculate their next due date based on when they were completed, helping schedules stay aligned with real life. DueNext helps reduce the mental load of remembering routine responsibilities while giving you a clear overview of what’s been done and what’s coming up. Asset-based organization: Tasks belong to the things they relate to. View the maintenance status of each asset individually and understand what needs attention at a glance. Recurring maintenance tracking: Create tasks that repeat every few days, weeks, months, or years. DueNext automatically calculates the next due date based on when the task was last completed. Shared responsibility: Collaborate with other people on shared assets. See who completed each task and when it was handled so everyone stays informed. Completion history and visibility: Track when tasks were completed and maintain a clear history of maintenance activity over time. Flexible task types: While the main focus is recurring maintenance, DueNext also supports: • One-time tasks for responsibilities that only need to happen once • Logging-only tasks with no due dates or deadlines, allowing you to simply record when something was done and keep a history of those activities Designed for real-life upkeep: DueNext is designed specifically for maintenance-style responsibilities tied to the things that matter in everyday life, helping you stay consistent with the routines that keep them properly cared for.

Ever stood in the shower thinking "wait… when did I last replace this?" Dutiful is the simplest way to track the things you do every so often - and never wonder again. Add a task once (from a library of 120+ ready-made ones, or your own), tell Dutiful how often it should happen, and tap "Did it!" whenever you do it. That's the whole app. It quietly keeps the clock and nudges you - gently, on time - when something's due. PERFECT FOR • Health - dentist, hygienist, eye exam, blood test, meds • Home - water filter, air filter, smoke alarms, deep clean • Car - wash, oil change, tire pressure, service • Personal, pets, hobbies, tech, and life admin - passports, taxes, insurance WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Log in one tap - or swipe, or long-press. It's rare, so it's never in your way. • Reminders that actually fire, right when it's due. • Home & Lock Screen widgets so you can glance at what's coming up. • Colorful, friendly, emoji-first. Never naggy. • No account, no ads, your data stays on your device.
