I've been working on releasing an app for maintenance tracking for home. I've always had problems with having in my calendar to replace a battery in my chicken coop every year, then things come up and I end up replacing the battery a few weeks later, so I have to go and change my calendar event. Or fertilizing my hops every two weeks only in the summer. Then in the winter I am getting notified every two weeks. So I built a simple app for tracking those with floating repetition and seasonality. [0]

Also recently got a lot of home VHS tapes digitalized and always had trouble with playing from Google drive or finding the right video. So I just built a webapp this month to split the videos into clips, transcoding it for better streaming, Google casting support, and tagging for search. [1]

Not to be a Debbie downer but Tody already handles home maintenance tracking, and it's already close to perfect IMO. What does your app offer that Tody doesn't? I can't download it because it's iOS only.

Looking at Toby, it seems to be mainly a cleaning app, it's built for stuff that gets dirty again, like vacuuming and counters. My app I made it do one thing really good and not have to much clutter. Mainly the once-a-year, easy-to-forget things like changing water filters, fuel filters, changing oil, trimming apple trees, etc. It does things Tody isn't built for, like auto-scheduling the next service the moment you finish one, only nagging you about gutters in the right season, and tracking multiple properties if you've got a rental or a cabin. So, while technically I can use my app for cleaning purposes (e.g. set every week change sheets, vacuum floor), I use it for things that happen once a year, only in certain seasons, before winter, every 3 years, etc. And I don't have to worry about the things that might be weeks or months, or years away.

Tody (not Toby) is a scheduling app exactly as you describe that you are building and theres no "clutter." You can use it to schedule tasks on any interval, and seasonally. Literally it's exactly what you are describing.

Dismissing it as "built for stuff that gets dirty again, like vacuuming and counters" just means you didn't even look at it. Saying it doesn't support "only nagging you about gutters in the right season" is a lie, it absolutely supports that. I use it to schedule household tasks exactly as you describe, and even personal tasks like applying night cream (every 3 days) and doing my hair treatment (every 60 days).

You can also easily track multiple properties, just set each property is an "area."

I don't know why you can't just say "I'm building it because I want to build something" instead of pretending that the thing you're building doesn't already exist.
