Frequently asked questions

Tody is a cleaning-schedule app for iPhone, iPad, and Android that keeps track of what needs cleaning and when, so the plan for a clean home doesn't have to live in one person's head. Share the plan with your household, rotate chores automatically, and race Dusty, the dust-bunny mascot, when you need extra motivation.

Yes. The free plan is the core cleaning plan for one person: free forever, with no ads, and it includes assigning chores and rotating them automatically. Tody Premium costs $9.99 per year and adds multiple homes and the Focus Timer. Tody Premium+ adds household sync and FairShare, priced by household size: Duo (2 members) $25, Family (6 members) $40, Team (12 members) $80 per year. Every upgrade comes with a free 30-day trial.

Every task in Tody has its own interval: how often it realistically needs doing. Dueness is how far a task is along that interval since you last completed it: green means it can wait, red means it's overdue. You clean when things need it, not because it's Tuesday.

Yes. Chores can be assigned or rotated automatically on every plan, including the free one. With Tody Premium+, everyone in the household also sees the same live cleaning plan on their own phone, anyone can check off a task, and FairShare gives each member a contribution target, so nobody has to be the one who notices, plans, and delegates everything.

Tody makes dirt visible: indicators fill up as things get dirty and reset when you act, so cleaning has a visible result even when nobody else notices. It breaks work into small wins and gives you a nemesis: Dusty, the dust bunny you race every month. Miss a week and nothing breaks; the race starts fresh each month.

Dusty is Tody's mascot and your cleaning nemesis: a smug dust bunny who taunts you when tasks pile up and complains when you get ahead. Beat him by staying ahead in the monthly race.

A to-do list only knows what you remember to put on it, and a paper schedule tells you to clean on fixed days whether things are dirty or not. Tody generates and prioritizes the plan for you based on how due each task is, so the noticing and planning (the mental load) lives in the app instead of in your head.

Tody is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. There is currently no web version.
