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. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE PLANNER Filter tasks by season so you always know what to tackle in Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter. Get ahead of seasonal problems before they become expensive repairs. PRE-LOADED TASK PRESETS Start immediately with 39+ expert-curated maintenance tasks covering HVAC, plumbing, electrical, safety, exterior, and more. 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. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Check your health score and upcoming tasks right from your home screen without even opening the app. Available in small, medium, and large sizes.

■ Hold it up. It is already scrolling. Open the app and your message is on the screen — full width, landscape, in the colour and at the speed you left it. Nothing loads first. There is no advertisement between you and your sign, no trial sheet, no list to tap through. Zero taps from launch to a message someone across a room can read. That is the whole product: a phone you can hold up and be understood by. ------------------------------- ● Zero taps to the sign ------------------------------- • The last message you showed is scrolling on the very first frame. • The controls appear for two seconds and then fade away. That fade is the entire tutorial. • One tap anywhere brings them back, one more sends them away. • There is no loading spinner anywhere in the app, because there is nothing to load. • Switching to another saved message is two taps. Writing a brand-new one is three. ------------------------------- ● Made to be read across a room ------------------------------- • The letters are drawn as large as the screen allows — up to 320 pt tall. • Eight sign colours: ice cyan, white, amber, red, lime, pink, violet, azure. • Five scroll speeds, from a slow crawl to a fast run. • Changing the speed never makes the sign jump or start over — the letter under your thumb stays exactly where it is. • The screen is kept awake and the status bar hidden the whole time the sign is up. • Landscape both ways, so it reads correctly whichever way you turn the phone. ------------------------------- ● The messages you already have ------------------------------- • Saved messages sit in a row of chips. One tap swaps the sign; the one you just used moves to the front. • Up to 20 messages, most recent first. Delete one, or clear them all. • Four ready-made phrases in your language are there from the first launch, so the sign is never blank. • Every keystroke is written to this device as you type. There is no Save button because there is nothing to lose — take a call mid-word and the half-typed word is still there. ------------------------------- ● Right to left, properly ------------------------------- Arabic and other right-to-left messages enter from the left and leave to the right, so the reader sees the first word first. Cursive letters are never pulled apart by letter-spacing at sign size. ------------------------------- ● Private by design ------------------------------- • Zero network code. Nothing leaves this phone, ever — check it in airplane mode. • No system permissions at all: no microphone, camera, location, contacts, photos or notifications. There is no permission prompt anywhere in this app. • No account, no login, no sign-up. Privacy label: Data Not Collected. • Zero analytics. Zero telemetry. Zero third-party SDKs. • No ads. No subscriptions. Nothing to unlock. ------------------------------- ● Good for ------------------------------- • Concerts, fan meets and cheering sections • Airport and station pickups — a name that can be read from across the hall • A roadside breakdown, a parking note, a "back in 5" on a shop counter • A loud workshop, a noisy venue, a quiet ward • Anyone whose word needs to carry further than their voice ------------------------------- ● Built to be tapped ------------------------------- • Every control is at least 64 × 64 pt — easy to hit without looking. • Single taps only. No double-taps, no swipes, no hidden gestures. • Reduce Motion is respected: the message stops and is fitted to the screen instead of scrolling. ------------------------------- ● Languages ------------------------------- English · Korean · Japanese · German · French · Arabic ------------------------------- ● The Baro promise ------------------------------- LED Banner is part of Baro — lightweight tools that respect your data, your battery, and your time. "The tools you reach for first."
