House Upkeep

A maintenance calendar built from your actual home, so small jobs never become big ones.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Homeowners answer a few questions about their home: heating type, roof age, appliances and yard. The app builds a yearly schedule of tasks like filter changes and gutter cleaning, with reminders and simple how to notes. It helps first time owners avoid expensive surprises.

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web and mobile app called House Upkeep. After signup, walk the user through a home setup quiz: home type, year built, heating and cooling type, water heater type, roof type, yard size, and appliances present. Save it as a home profile.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

From the profile, generate a task list with title, frequency (monthly, seasonal, yearly), next due date, estimated minutes and a short how to note written by an AI model. Show a this month view and let users mark tasks done, snooze them or add photos and costs.
