Version history

New ways to protect your home, plus the improvements that make Maintainly calmer and more dependable.

Current

Your home's paper trail, wherever you live

1.4.0

New

  • Edit, pause and delete tasks: change the name, how often it repeats, the next due date and your notes. Pause a task you do not need right now and resume it later, or delete it and keep its history.
  • Scan the rating label: photograph the sticker on a boiler, water heater or appliance and Maintainly fills in the brand, model and serial number. The text is read on your iPhone, and the photo is discarded afterwards.
  • Recall check: check any piece of equipment against the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recall list, free, from its screen.
  • PDFs and camera in the vault: add warranties and receipts as PDFs from Files or photograph paper ones, link them to the equipment they cover, view them in the app and share them.
  • Documents in the Home Report: the PDF report now lists your warranties, receipts and policies, and shows which completed work has a photo in the app, ready for an insurer or a buyer.
  • Backup and restore: save everything, including photos and PDFs, to one file in Files or iCloud Drive, and restore it on a new iPhone. Free, and it works without an account.
  • Pro is now one purchase: $19.99 once in the US, with no subscription. Everyone who bought the yearly plan keeps Pro.
  • European task packs: the car inspection for Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, plus the Feuerstättenschau, brandskyddskontroll, the Italian boiler efficiency check, Spanish gas inspection and French SPANC septic inspection, each with who arranges it and what to keep.
  • Home energy and garden tasks: solar panels, home batteries, EV chargers, e-bike and scooter charging safety, pool opening and closing, basement damp, damp and mould, and the lawn mower. Your pool and basement answers now shape your plan.
  • Edit or delete a home: change its country, postcode, heating, type and features at any time. A new home gets its own starter plan instead of an empty list.

Improved

  • Real calendars everywhere: reschedule to any day, record the day a job was done, and enter install, purchase, warranty and expiry dates exactly.
  • A banner on the home screen when notifications are off, with one tap to turn them back on.
  • Search your tasks, and a Paused filter to find what you have set aside.
  • Tapping the home screen widget opens the task it shows, and the widget always names your next task.
  • Dates and times follow your region's format, costs use your home's currency, and reminders use each task's own written line.
  • A plan fits where you live: country and heating default to your region, flats are not given roof and gutter jobs, and the chimney sweep only appears for homes with a fireplace or stove.
  • Calmer first weeks: a new plan is spread out instead of all due at once, and several reminders at the same time arrive as one.
  • Tapping a system on the home screen shows just that system's tasks.

Fixed

  • Changes made on one device while it was offline now reach your other devices.
  • Signing in on a new iPhone brings back your existing home instead of creating a second one.
  • Signing out on one device no longer stops reminders on the others, and you stay signed in for a year instead of a week.
  • Freeze warnings work with postcodes typed with or without a space, warn once before a hard freeze instead of repeating, and ask for a postcode when one is missing.
  • Photos and PDFs added before signing in now upload afterwards, and deleting an item removes its file.
  • A second home can add the same library tasks as the first.

A more beautiful Maintainly

1.3.0

New

  • Every task now teaches you the job: tap any task to see why it matters, what goes wrong if it slips, step-by-step instructions, what you need, how long it takes, what it costs to do yourself or hire out, the signs it is due, common mistakes, when to call a professional, and a note for your country.
  • A real moment when you finish: completing a task now shows your Maintenance Score moving, how much it moved by, and what is next. Safety tasks get confetti.
  • A new home screen: a greeting, the date, a freeze-alert chip when one is scheduled, and a "next best action" card with one-tap Done, ahead of a shorter, calmer list.
  • Seasonal checklist card: when a season is less than a month away, the home screen shows how many tasks it brings.
  • Last done and linked equipment on every task, so the history and the appliance are one tap away.

Improved

  • The score ring draws itself in, buttons have depth, cards respond to touch, and screens load with placeholders instead of a spinner.
  • The cost field no longer shows "0.00" as if it were a value.

Seasonal checklists, web-to-app reminders, and eight new tasks

1.2.1

New

  • Seasonal checklist: a free notification the morning each season starts, listing what your home needs that season. Autumn falls in March for Australian homes.
  • Add a task from the web: every guide on this site has an "Add this reminder to Maintainly" button that puts the task straight onto your plan, or after setup if you are new.
  • Eight new library tasks: dishwashers, range hoods, garbage disposals, garage doors, irrigation systems, water filters, septic systems and heat-recovery ventilators, shown in a "New in the library" section.
  • Share your score as a picture instead of plain text.
  • Try the Home Report: free users can generate one sample PDF to see what their record looks like.
  • Cost insights preview: free users see the real total they have logged before the breakdown.

Improved

  • Boiler and heat-pump homes get the right annual service reminder, including the gas safety check, instead of furnace tasks.
  • Winter tyre reminders now cover the northern United States as well as Canada, and skip warm climates.
  • Radon testing is offered wherever there is a national radon programme, including the UK and Ireland.
  • Australian postcodes now resolve to the right climate, so Brisbane is never asked to winterize.
  • Your plan starts with two quick checks you can do today.
  • Smaller download and a faster first launch.

Fixed

  • Photos attached to tasks, equipment and documents were stored in a cache iOS could clear; they are now kept safely, and attaching one works even after declining the photo permission.
  • Reminders could go quiet after a connection problem; they now fall back to local notifications automatically.
  • Deleting your account now confirms it actually worked instead of failing silently.
  • The Suggestions tab no longer asks you to sign in when you already are.
  • "Mark done" from a lock-screen reminder now counts toward the rating prompt and your activity.

Reports worth sharing, and a smoother start

1.2.0

  • Redesigned Home Report: a polished PDF with your Maintenance Score, recorded spending, equipment, warranties and maintenance history.
  • Built for sharing: create a useful record for resale, warranty claims, insurance conversations or your own files.
  • Guest-first onboarding: get into your maintenance plan with less friction, no account needed.
  • Share Maintainly: recommend the app to a friend directly from Settings.
  • Share your score: turn a Maintenance Score milestone into an easy progress update.

Improved

  • Cleaner report typography, spacing and page breaks for a document that prints and shares beautifully.
  • Better-timed rating prompts that stay out of the way while you work.
  • More dependable reminders and small fixes throughout the app.
