Maintenance becomes reactive without a system
Most homes don't fail from one big event. They decay slowly through forgotten filters, ignored leaks, and deferred inspections. When a contractor asks "when was this last done?", most homeowners can't answer. Stu is built to solve that before it starts.
A plan tailored to your home
Describe your home
Enter the basics: your location and the major systems you have. Stu uses this to build a plan that fits your house.
Get a maintenance plan
Stu generates a tailored list of recurring tasks--what to do, how often, and when--based on your home.
See what's due
Open the app and see exactly what needs attention this week. Each task explains how to do it and why it matters.
Record what's done
Mark tasks complete to build a log of your home you can refer back to.
Your household ledger
A record of your whole house: what's due, what's been done, and how every system is holding up.
What your house needs
Open Stu and you see only what's due now. No dashboards to tend, no backlog guilt.
Your plan, season by season
Every recurring task, grouped by what's due. Filter by system or by season to see what you care about.
Every system, from HVAC to paint
See your home the way Stu does: ten systems, each with its own components, tasks, and service history, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Know how and why
Every task includes instructions and the reasoning behind it, so you learn as you go.
How Stu helps
Tailored to your home
Generated from your location and the systems you actually have. Not a generic checklist.
One notification per week
Recurring tasks surface the week they're due. One notification, not a flood.
Every completed task is logged
Mark a task done and it joins your home's history; the answer to "when was this last serviced?"
Own your data
Everything works offline, your data remains private, and you can export it any time.
Cost tracking
Log what maintenance and repairs cost, so you can see what your home needs over time.
Most home maintenance apps are contractor marketplaces in disguise. Stu isn't. There are no ads, no data selling, and no incentive to send you anywhere. Your home's data is yours and isn't locked to Stu.
How much does Stu cost?
Stu is available by subscription: $24.99/year or $2.99/month.
Does Stu work without an internet connection?
Yes. Stu works entirely offline. All your home data is stored locally on your iPhone and the app does not require a network connection to function.
What data does Stu collect?
Your home data never leaves your device. Basic anonymized usage information, such as zip code, home type, and in-app navigation, is collected via PostHog to help improve the product. No personal information is collected. See the Privacy Policy for details.
What kinds of tasks does Stu include?
Stu generates recurring maintenance tasks for Safety, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Appliances, Exterior, Interior, Grounds, Garage, and Paint. Tasks are based on your home profile and tailored to what you have. You can also add your own custom tasks.
Does Stu tell me how to do the tasks?
Yes. Each task in Stu includes instructions explaining how to complete it and why it matters.
Is Stu available on Android or iPad?
No. Stu is iPhone only. Android and iPad are not currently supported.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Stu lets you export your home data as a CSV. Your data is yours to keep.
Does Stu sell my data?
No. Stu does not sell, share, or transmit any home data. There is no server that receives it.
How is Stu different from a home warranty?
Stu is a home maintenance app, not a warranty or insurance product. It helps homeowners prevent problems through a maintenance plan, home history, and cost tracking.
What happens to my data if I stop using Stu?
Your data remains on your device. It is not stored anywhere else. Deleting the app removes it. You can export your home history as a CSV before canceling.
How does Stu build my maintenance plan?
Stu asks about your home's location and major systems during setup. It uses that profile to generate a maintenance plan tailored to your specific home.
What systems does Stu cover?
Stu generates maintenance tasks for Safety, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Appliances, Exterior, Interior, Grounds, Garage, and Paint.
Is Stu good for first-time homeowners?
Yes. Stu is designed for homeowners who want a simple system rather than a complicated one. It surfaces home maintenance reminders based on your home, so you don't have to figure out what to track.
What is a home maintenance log?
A home maintenance log is a record of completed maintenance tasks for your home: when filters were changed, when systems were serviced, and what work has been done. Stu builds this log automatically as you mark tasks complete.
