Your home maintenance checklist, with reminders built in.
Roost Routines is the home maintenance checklist app for recurring household tasks. Set it once — boiler service every 12 months, smoke alarms every 6 — and Roost flags it when it's due and when it's overdue.

Roost tracks the rest
Overdue items appear at the top in red. Due-this-week items grouped below. Nothing slips.

Everything you need in a home maintenance app
Overdue flagging
Anything past its due date appears in red at the top. Hard to miss.
Log a past date
Done it but forgot to log it? Enter the actual date — keeps your history accurate.
Skip next
Skip one occurrence without losing the repeating schedule. Useful for seasonal tasks.
Household sharing
Share a routine with your household so either person can mark it done.
Any interval
Daily, weekly, monthly, or every N days/weeks/months. Whatever the task needs.
