Home maintenance
RunTight is maintenance software built for machine shops — which makes it comically overqualified for your house. HVAC filters, water heater flushes, generator runs, and hurricane prep on schedules that run themselves. Put a QR code on the air handler and the answer to "when did we last change the filter?" is one scan away.
Free forever for households — no credit card, no trial clock.
Pick the Home Maintenance preset at signup and start with the air handler, water heater, generator, and the rest already loaded — with sensible schedules attached. Edit anything.
RunTight creates the task before it's due and emails you a digest. No more "when did we last change that filter?" — the answer is on the record.
Print a label, stick it on the unit. Scan it any time to see the full service history and what's due next. Anyone in the house can scan it to report a problem — no app, no account.
All included in the Home Maintenance preset — with step-by-step checklists, not just reminders. Built in Florida, so hurricane prep is a first-class citizen.

Hurricane season prep

Checklists, not just pings
