Nope! You can have as many as you want. Choose to track just the big ticket items like your engine and generator or create schedules to check on everything like each of the dyneema chafe covers that go through your stanchions. And yes, we really do know a boat that’s done that!

Instead of creating separate apps for different devices, we've developed a mobile-optimized website that works seamlessly across all platforms. This allows us to focus our resources on developing new features that matter to boat owners, like our integrated inventory system, and means you can access your maintenance information from any device with a web browser, without needing to download or update an app.

The short answer is no - MaintenanceROS requires internet access.

As a former cruiser who completed a circumnavigation, I understand the importance of this question. We've had many discussions about offline access, and it was initially one of our key development considerations.

However, the emergence of Starlink has fundamentally changed connectivity at sea. Based on my personal experience and feedback from numerous cruisers, reliable internet access is becoming increasingly accessible even in remote locations. Given this shift, we've chosen to focus our development resources on expanding features that benefit all users rather than building offline functionality.

If you do find yourself completing maintenance tasks while you’re without internet, you can always backdate the completion of a task once you have internet again. And if you want to have back-up, offline copies of your manuals/files, we offer a full export feature as well.

We’ve designed the set up process to be as easy and painless as possible. And as part of that, we’re working to add and verify maintenance schedules for as many manufacturers and types of equipment as possible to help streamline this process even further.

But, boats can be complicated with an endless combination of equipment on board. The length of time it takes to set up your boat profile will depend on how much equipment you want to add and keep track of.

If you don’t have time to add all the equipment you want, rest assured you can save your place in the onboarding process, or complete the onboarding and add more equipment later!

When to perform maintenance on boat equipment can depend on a variety of factors. We custom built our Task Engine to handle them all!

Have equipment that requires specific tasks to be done on a time schedule? No problem! Many engines or generators require servicing after a set number of running hours. You can set up metrics to track those hours and stay up to date on the required maintenance.

And what about equipment that requires some task to be done for the first time after a set number of running hours and then needs to be done on a set time schedule OR after a different set number of running hours. Not to worry, we can handle that too!

All maintenance reminders and alerts are visible within your MaintenanceROS Dashboard, providing a quick overview of your boat's maintenance status.

Email notifications are also available and can be customized to your preferences. Choose to receive daily, weekly, or monthly maintenance summaries and choose exactly when you want to receive them.

MaintenanceROS allows you to track any parts, supplies, or equipment on your boat. This includes:

• Spare parts (filters, belts, impellers, etc.)
• Consumable supplies (oils, cleaners, adhesives)
• Safety equipment
• Tools and equipment
• Documentation and manuals

For each item, you can track:

• Quantity and location
• Manufacturer and model information
• Minimum stock levels
• Expiration dates
• Usage history

You can organize items by storage location, making it easy to find what you need when you need it. Our integrated shopping list feature also helps you keep track of items that need to be restocked.

But the thing we’re most proud of is how closely integrated our inventory system is our maintenance system. You can specify which parts and how many of each are required for a maintenance task. When that task is completed, we’ll automatically prompt you to confirm parts used and update your inventory accordingly. Now you easily keep your inventory up to date!

Absolutely! We believe your data is your data, and we make it easy to export your maintenance records in several formats.

Through your boat settings, you can export:

• Complete maintenance history
• Equipment details
• Checklist records
• Inventory data
• Metric tracking history

You can also export records for specific pieces of equipment directly from their equipment page.

All data is exported in CSV format, making it easy to review or analyze in spreadsheet programs. You can also choose to include equipment manuals and other documentation in your export.

I started off with paper logs and then moved to using spreadsheets during my circumnavigation. So I’ve seen all sides and the experience is precisely why I wanted to develop MaintenanceROS. Our system offers significant advantages:

• Automatic scheduling and reminders mean you'll never miss crucial maintenance
• Our equipment database saves you time setting up maintenance schedules
• Track maintenance across multiple systems from any device
• Integrated inventory management automatically updates when you complete tasks
• Photos and files can be attached directly to maintenance records
• Records are automatically backed up and can't be lost or damaged
• Easily search your complete maintenance history

Most importantly, MaintenanceROS actively helps prevent maintenance issues rather than just recording what you've done. The system predicts upcoming tasks, helps you plan for needed parts, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
