Description
Your home runs on a hundred little tasks. Rootsie remembers all of them.
Furnace filters, gutter cleaning, smoke detector batteries, deck staining, HVAC service, pest control — the work never stops, and it's almost impossible to keep in your head. Rootsie is a home maintenance tracker that reminds you what's due, records what you spent, and remembers who did the work — for one home or several, on your own or with your whole household.
NEVER MISS A MAINTENANCE TASK
- Set up recurring reminders on any schedule — weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or a custom interval like "every 3 months" or "every 2 years"
- Set custom notifications to remind you before something's due
- See what's overdue, scheduled, or done at a glance
- Skip or reschedule tasks when life gets in the way
TRACK WHAT YOU SPEND
- Log the cost of every completed task
- See total spending per property and per task
- Export your full cost history as a CSV — perfect for taxes, insurance claims, or selling your home
- Build a real maintenance record that actually tells you where the money goes
REMEMBER WHO DID THE WORK
- Save your plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, landscaper, handyman — anyone you'd call again
- Store name, company, phone, and email in one tap-to-call list
- Assign contractors to completed tasks so you always know who replaced the water heater two years ago
- Rate the work so you remember who to call back ... and who not to
SHARE IT WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD
- Turn on Family Sharing to invite the people you live with into a shared home, so everyone can keep up with what's due
- Sign in with Apple to sync your homes across all your devices and pick up right where you left off
- Family Sharing is completely optional — invite only the people you trust
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Rootsie is built privacy-first:
- No tracking, no analytics, no ads — ever
- Device-first by default: skip Shared Workspaces and everything stays on your device, with no account required and nothing sent to our servers
- Turn on Shared Workspaces only if you want it — then your homes sync securely so you can share them
- Full data export anytime, so you're never locked in
