PingChore helps weather dependent service businesses give customers a heads up before bad weather hits. From event planning, mobile auto detailing to landscaping, rain and storms often cause last minute cancellations, frustrated customers, and a lot of manual texting. PingChore watches the weather for your jobs and sends a simple message when conditions are likely to cause issues, so customers are not surprised and rescheduling happens earlier. No dashboards to babysit. No daily planning.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Maker here.
I built PingChore after seeing how often bad weather causes last minute chaos for service businesses.
When rain shows up, customers hesitate, schedules get messy, and a lot of time goes into texting and explaining. From talking with landscapers, event planners, auto detailers, and other small service businesses, the real pain wasn't the weather itself, but the lack of early communication.
PingChore watches the weather and sends a simple heads up message to customers when conditions might affect their appointment. No scheduling tools, no dashboards to manage. It just handles the awkward “weather update” part.
This is a solo project, still early, and shaped heavily by real conversations with business owners. I would genuinely love feedback on whether this solves a real problem for you, or what you would expect it to do differently.
Thanks for checking it out 🙏

Quick update after launching today.
I'm especially curious if anyone here has dealt with weather related cancellations in service businesses.
Even a short "yes, this hurts" or "no, not really" helps me a lot while shaping the product.

It'll also be a great addition if you could open this up for sports, eg. reserving football fixtures, golf competitions.
@peterz_shu
hmm that's a great point.
Weather impacts sports schedules just as badly.
I started with service businesses, but expanding into sports bookings and fixtures is definitely on my roadmap.
If you have seen specific cases where this hurts the most, I would love to learn.
