Grumpty is a home maintenance reminder for homeowners who'd rather not think about home maintenance.
Most reminder apps repeat a task on a date. Grumpty does the bit they can't: it turns up with the right list for your home already written, grumbles by email while there's still time to actually book the job (not the day it's already overdue), sorts overdue from what can wait, and reschedules the next occurrence from the day you mark it done.
The jobs it's built for are the ones that bite: the gutters quietly steering water into the foundation, the dryer vent packed with lint, the water heater anode rod you've never heard of, the sewer line you're meant to scope every couple of years and forget until it backs up.
What it won't do: pester you, sell you, sell your data, or upsell a warranty. The core loop stays free, and you can export and clear off whenever you like. Free while it's in beta.

Grumpty's answer:
Most reminder apps repeat a task on a date and leave you to it. Grumpty does the part they won't:
And it grumbles about the chore, never at you.
Grumpty's answer:
The rivals are home-management suites: inventory, budgets, documents, a whole dashboard to feed. Grumpty isn't that.
Grumpty's answer:
Ordinary homeowners, US first, who'd rather not think about home maintenance, let alone run a spreadsheet to track it.
Especially the newly landed and the accidentally responsible: bought a place, inherited a pile of jobs they've never heard of, and no system beyond a vague sense of dread. Grumpty holds the list so they don't have to.

Grumpty's answer:
The founder bought a 1920 ex-rental with far too much to do and went looking for a tool for the jobs that come round less than once a year. The sewer line you're meant to scope for tree roots. The anode rod that rusts so the tank doesn't.
He found nothing he liked, so he built the grump he wanted: a pig who remembers the dull jobs on time. The name's the fairy tale. The third pig did the boring work and kept his house standing while the other two were larking about. Be the third pig.
Grumpty's answer:
It's early, so there are no big logos to wave about, and Grumpty wouldn't name them if there were. The customers are homeowners with gutters they've been ignoring and water heaters they've never once looked at.
