KeptCueFor your first year in a new home
Your first year in a new home, planned.
You got the keys. Now there’s a water shut-off you’ve never seen, a furnace filter of unknown size, and a builder warranty quietly counting down. KeptCue gives you a plan from move-in day and reminds you of the jobs you only do once a year.
Free to start. No account. Everything stays on your phone.
Sound familiar?
The jobs that slip are the ones you do once a year.
“When did I last clean the dryer vent?”
Nobody remembers. The U.S. Fire Administration lists failure to clean dryers as a leading cause of dryer fires.
“Where is the water shut-off?”
You find out the night a pipe bursts, unless you looked in week one.
“Isn’t the builder warranty about to end?”
Many end at one year. The list of cracks and sticky doors needs to go in before then.
Your First Year Plan
A plan that starts on move-in day.
Tell KeptCue roughly when you moved in, whether you own or rent, and what the home has: furnace, gas, gutters, fireplace, sump pump, septic, well, or a new build. It builds a first-year plan that fits that home, with each job dated from your move-in day.
- Week 1 · free
Test the smoke and CO alarms, find the water shut-off, the breaker panel and the gas shut-off, rekey the locks, note the furnace filter size. - Month 1
Kitchen fire extinguisher, gather manuals and model numbers, check the water heater’s age, septic and well records. - Month 3
Walk around the outside: gutters, shingles, water pooling by the walls. - Month 6
Heating and cooling check-up. New build? Start the warranty list. - Month 11
Send the builder warranty list while there’s still time for repairs. - One year in
Look back at the year and pick what to watch next.
Rare jobs
“When did I last…?” Now you know, to the day.
Dryer vent, furnace filter, water heater flush, gutters, septic pump-out, smoke alarm tests. KeptCue suggests how often to do each one and keeps the date you last did it. The home shield shows at a glance whether anything is late.
Weekly jobs can sit on a set day. Trash goes out Thursday night for Friday pickup? That still counts for Friday.
Everyday jobs, too
Kip’s carrot patch grows when you keep up.
Dishes, counters, trash, bedding. Each everyday job you do on time grows a carrot. Miss a few and they wilt, with no streak to lose and no guilt trip. Tap done and move on.
Hi, I’m Kip. I keep the list so you don’t have to. I won’t nag. One summary on Sunday, and that’s it unless you ask for more.
