Home maintenance
Air filter reminder: an easier way to remember your next filter change.
Changing a home air filter is easy. Remembering when you last changed it, and when you need to change it again is often the harder part.
Why people need an air filter reminder
Home maintenance tasks do not always happen on a fixed weekly schedule. Months can pass between air filter changes, making it easy to forget exactly when the last replacement happened.
Without a simple reminder, you may find yourself looking at the filter and trying to remember: Did I change this recently? Was it two months ago or much longer?
A home air filter reminder gives you a simple way to keep track so you do not have to rely entirely on memory.
Ways to remember to change your home air filter
Calendar reminders
Add the next filter change to your calendar after installing a new filter.
Phone reminders
Set a future reminder on your phone so you receive a notification when it is time to think about your filter again.
Write down the date
Keep a written record of when you changed your filter and check it when planning your next replacement.
Use a physical reminder
A dedicated reminder can stay close to the task itself and make the next filter change easier to remember.
A simple physical reminder
Meet Baby Bird.
Baby Bird is being designed as a dedicated home air filter reminder. After changing your filter, you reset Baby Bird and let it keep track of time for you.
When it is time for your next reminder, Baby Bird is designed to glow and chirp—without requiring an app, Wi-Fi connection, account, or subscription.
Baby Bird is currently in development. No payment is required to reserve your place, and final product specifications may change.
