Know what actually got done.

Built around the time you actually have

Most checklists assume every task gets done every visit. Real visits are three hours long, and the list is longer than that.

So a Cheket visit starts with a time budget. The tasks that matter every single time come first. After those, the list is ordered by how overdue each item is against its own schedule — so the thing that hasn't been done in nine weeks rises above the thing done last week. Work down the list until the time is spent, and stop. Nothing is forgotten; it simply moves up next time.

How it works

1. Set up the property

   Describe the areas — suites, stairwells, exterior — with the access codes and notes for each. They appear on the checklist exactly where they're needed, so nobody is texting you for a door code at 7am.

2. Build a task list

   Say how often each task should recur: every visit, every few weeks, the same day each month. Seasonal tasks pause out of season, so gutters don't arrive in February looking nine months overdue.

3. Open a visit

   Invite whoever is doing the work. They tick items off on their phone. When they're done, they submit the visit with the charge, and you review it and record the payment date.

What you get out of it

• A record that doesn't move

  Every tick is written down permanently, with who did it and when. Page back through earlier visits and see the property as it stood on that day.

• Last done, at a glance

  Because the history is real, "when was that last done?" is answered rather than remembered — for every task, in every area.

• Task lists you can reuse

  A list belongs to you, not to one property, so the same routine can run at several. Share one with someone else, or publish it for others to copy.

• Made for a phone

  The person doing the work is standing up, in a stairwell, on a small screen. That's the screen it was designed on.
