Piano tuners, chimney sweeps, septic pumpers and HVAC techs rely on customers remembering to call back. This app stores each customer last service and interval, then texts them when they are due with a link to request a time. It turns one time jobs into repeat work.

Who it is for
Solo tradespeople with yearly or seasonal repeat services
How it makes money
Monthly subscription plus text usage
Suggested stack
Next.js, MySQL, Twilio for text messages

Compute each next due date and show a Due Soon list for the next 30 days. On the due date, use Twilio to send the reminder text with a link to a simple request page where the customer picks preferred days. Log each text and reply.
