Your home needs regular care, but remembering every task is impossible. FixMate makes it effortless with smart reminders, a visual health score, and 39+ pre-loaded maintenance tasks that get you started in under a minute. HEALTH SCORE DASHBOARD See your home's maintenance health at a glance. A color-coded urgency ring shows green when you're on track, yellow when tasks are due soon, and red when action is needed immediately. No more guessing what needs attention first. SMART COMPLETION-BASED RESCHEDULING Unlike other apps that reschedule from the due date, FixMate reschedules from the date you actually complete a task. This means you never fall into a catch-up cycle where overdue tasks keep piling up. Complete a task, and the next due date starts fresh from today.

Each task comes with recommended frequencies based on industry standards. Choose your home type and everything is set up automatically. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Three-tier reminder system alerts you 7 days before, 1 day before, and on the due date. Configure the reminder time that works for you. Never miss a critical maintenance window again.
