How maintenance tracking works in Keen Owner

1

Set up your tasks

Use Keen Owner's maintenance templates or create your own. Set the frequency — monthly, quarterly, annually, or any custom interval.

2

Get reminded automatically

Keen Owner sends reminders when tasks are due. Sync with Google Calendar and maintenance items show up alongside your other events.

3

Log it and move on

Mark it done, optionally log the cost or contractor, and the next reminder is automatically scheduled. Your maintenance history builds over time.

Why an app beats a spreadsheet or calendar

✗
Spreadsheet: You have to manually check it. No push notifications. No recurring reminders. Abandoned after a month.
✗
Google Calendar: Great for one-time events. Awkward for recurring maintenance with notes, costs, and history attached.
✗
Phone reminders: No context attached — just a notification that says "change filter." No history, no cost tracking, no link to the item or its warranty.
✗
Memory: Works for a year. Fails when life gets busy, you move, or something breaks out of cycle.
