Every part of your home keeps its own calendar. Lyntl keeps them all.
Lyntl is a home-maintenance app. Tell it what is in your home: the boiler, the radiators, the gutters, the washing machine. It knows the maintenance each one needs and how often, sends a push notification when a job is due, and keeps a record of every service you log.
Lyntl is in a private pilot and not yet open to the public. Write to hello@lyntl.app.

One boiler, and everything done to it
Follow a single appliance through its first years: an example gas boiler in the example house. Lyntl reminds you when a job is due and keeps the services you log. Seeing its whole history in one place, and keeping the invoice with each service, come after the pilot; those steps are marked “after the pilot” below.
-
Year 1, March
Bought and added
A new boiler goes into the kitchen. You find it in Lyntl’s list and add it to your home. It arrives with its maintenance already set up: a yearly service by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

-
Year 2, February
The first reminder
Nearly a year on, nobody has thought about the boiler since it went in. Lyntl has: a push notification says the yearly service is due, so you book the engineer.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 2, March
Service logged
The engineer services it. You mark the job as done, and it goes into the boiler’s record. The next service is set for a year later.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 2, March
The invoice, kept with it
Add the engineer’s invoice or receipt to the service it belongs to, so it is with the boiler when you look for it later instead of in a drawer.
After the pilot: invoice upload
-
Year 3, December
A repair
The pressure keeps dropping and an engineer replaces a valve. It goes into the boiler’s history next to its services, so whoever looks next can see what has been done to it.
After the pilot: the appliance history
-
Year 4, February
The next service
The reminder comes round again on its own, a year after the last service. The boiler’s record grows by one more line.
In Lyntl now
The boiler, its dates and its repair are examples, not advice. Follow your manufacturer’s instructions and use a Gas Safe registered engineer for gas work.
One dishwasher, and everything done to it
Follow a single appliance through its first years: an example dishwasher in the example kitchen. Lyntl reminds you when a job is due and keeps the services you log. Seeing its whole history in one place, and keeping the invoice with each service, come after the pilot; those steps are marked “after the pilot” below.
-
Year 1, May
Bought and added
A new dishwasher goes in under the worktop. You add it from Lyntl’s list, and it comes with its jobs set up: the filter, the salt and rinse aid, and a cleaning cycle now and then.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, June
The first reminder
A month in, a push notification says the filter is due. It is the job nobody remembers until the plates come out gritty.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, June
Filter cleaned, logged
You twist the filter out, rinse it under the tap and put it back. Mark it done, and the next one is set for a month later.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, September
Salt and rinse aid
Both are topped up and logged against the dishwasher, so you can see when it last had them.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, November
A cleaning cycle
An empty hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner, every few months in this example. Lyntl reminds you; the dishwasher does the work.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 2, August
A repair, and its receipt
Water stays in the bottom and a technician replaces the drain pump. The repair goes into the dishwasher’s history with the receipt next to it.
After the pilot: the appliance history and invoice upload
The dishwasher, its jobs and their intervals are examples, not advice. Follow the manufacturer’s manual for your model.
One ventilation unit, and everything done to it
Follow a single appliance through its first years: an example ventilation unit with heat recovery, the kind that runs quietly all day in a cupboard or the loft. Lyntl reminds you when a job is due and keeps the services you log. Seeing its whole history in one place, and keeping the invoice with each service, come after the pilot; those steps are marked “after the pilot” below.
-
Year 1, April
Bought and added
The ventilation unit is fitted in the utility room. You add it from Lyntl’s list, and it comes with its jobs set up: new filters, clean vents and a yearly service.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, October
The first reminder
Six months on, the unit is still humming away and easy to forget. A push notification says the filters are due.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, October
Filters replaced, logged
You slide out the two filters and fit new ones. Mark it done, and the next change is set six months on.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 2, March
The vents cleaned
The vents in the ceilings and walls get a wipe and a vacuum. One job, logged against the unit they belong to.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 2, April
The yearly service, with its invoice
An engineer services the unit and checks the airflow. The service is logged, and the invoice stays with it.
Logging the service: in Lyntl now. Keeping the invoice with it: after the pilot
-
Year 3, January
A repair
One of the fans gets noisy and is replaced. It goes into the unit’s history next to its services.
After the pilot: the appliance history
The ventilation unit, its jobs and their intervals are examples, not advice. Filters and service intervals differ between units: follow the manufacturer and have the service done by a qualified engineer.
One coffee machine, and everything done to it
Follow a single appliance through its first years: an example bean-to-cup coffee machine on the kitchen worktop. Lyntl reminds you when a job is due and keeps the services you log. Seeing its whole history in one place, and keeping the invoice with each service, come after the pilot; those steps are marked “after the pilot” below.
-
Year 1, January
Bought and added
A bean-to-cup machine goes onto the worktop. You add it from Lyntl’s list, and it comes with its jobs set up: the brew unit, the water filter and descaling.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, January
The first reminder
A week in, a push notification says the brew unit needs a rinse. It is the part that keeps the coffee tasting like coffee.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, January
Brew unit rinsed, logged
You take the brew unit out, rinse it under the tap and let it dry. Mark it done, and the next one follows by itself.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, March
A new water filter
The filter in the water tank is changed and logged, so you know how long the next one has been in.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 1, April
Descaled
The descaling programme runs with the manufacturer’s descaler. Logged, and the next one is set.
In Lyntl now
-
Year 2, November
A repair, and its receipt
The grinder starts to struggle and goes in for repair. The repair and its receipt go into the machine’s history.
After the pilot: the appliance history and invoice upload
The coffee machine, its jobs and their intervals are examples, not advice. How often to descale depends on your water and how much you use it: follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the descaler and filters they name.
How Lyntl works
No single job in a home is hard. What makes them easy to miss is that each comes round rarely, on its own schedule, and nobody keeps the whole list. Lyntl keeps the list, so you only have to do the job when it comes up.
-
Find it
Look up your appliance in Lyntl’s list, or the part of the house you want to look after.
-
Set it up
It comes with its maintenance tasks and how often each is due, picked by hand. If one doesn’t fit your appliance or how you use it, change it.
-
Add it to your home
It joins everything else Lyntl is keeping track of for you.
-
Get reminded
When a job is due, a push notification says what needs doing and to which thing.
-
Log the service
Mark it done, and it goes into the record for that thing.
-
Repeat
The next due date follows on by itself. You don’t have to remember it.
