No central record of which handyman performed which repair at which unit and when, making it impossible to reference past work for recurring issues.

Existing property management or field service software is too complex and built for large companies with dispatchers, not for a small landlord managing a few units.

App Concept

UnitLog: Simple Repair Tracker

UnitLog is a minimalist web and mobile app for small landlords to log every repair by unit, handyman, date, and issue. No dispatcher features, no complexity – just a clean chronological feed that you can search or filter. It replaces the mental memory or text-based tracking with one tap entry.

Key Features

Quick-add repair log: unit, handyman, issue, date, notes
Search and filter by unit, handyman, or date range
Optional photo attachment for each job
Export logs to PDF or CSV for records

Target Users: Small-scale property owners (1–20 units) managing their own maintenance and relying on independent handymen.

Revenue Model: $9/mo for unlimited units, with a free tier for up to 3 units

Part of App Idea

No central record of which handyman performed which repair at which unit and when, making it impossible to reference past work for recurring issues.
