“honestly the best chore tracking app ive come across. It's even kinda fun.”
“The first cleaning app that works for me and my (actual, diagnosed) adhd. The only snag is the vacation mode - sure, I had no tasks on vacation but once they passed, all my tasks were overdue. Sure, I need to dust no matter if I was home, but trust me, there's no need to tidy up, clean the toilet or urgently wipe the stove. I hope it gets fixed soon! Edit: added the fifth star for excellent customer service via email. Adjusting the starting day of the vacation schedule solved the issue.”
“I find cleaning tricky because I get overwhelmed easily and suffer from task paralysis. I also start doing something and then get 'project creep' where I noticed an organisation task that could be done while cleaning and then do that instead of the cleaning that will actually help the house feels better. I've customised the app to really help me with these challenges and (about 1 week in) it's really helping. Would definitely recommend.”
Love it!
“This app has really helped me with my cleaning tasks. It organizes them by area, so I could clean just the kitchen if I wanted to. It helps me know when I last cleaned something and tells me when to do it next. I can set up to do a task once a day, once a week, once a week or once a year. It’s been a huge help!”
“easy to use and keeps you on track. I love that you can customize by effort level and add extra tasks and even choose due whenever vs day, week, month or by year”
“Just started using this app for organizing together ALL the household chores, indoors and out! Am absolutely loving the free version with all the prebuilt chores and customizable abilities. i have 3k square feet and have added all the rooms, plus the yard and garage stuff. THANK YOU for having such a comprehensive and Free app for helping to get better organized and stay on top of what can quickly become overwhelming!”
“Easy to use. Helps our kids stay on track with their chores too. I can list chores that are done daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal.”
“We purchased an Apollosign thinking that we would use the chore chart on it, but it was pretty basic and definitely geared towards kids. We decided to try Tody out, and within 3 days all for adults in our house we're using it. We've been using it for a few months now, and absolutely love it. I do wish there was a few more options for widgets with the app. That way we can set up our Apololsign calendar next to the Tody app and have them both open at the same time.”
“I absolutely love this app, it keeps me on track and it's so customizable and easy to edit!!”
“It's satisfying to see Dusty throwing a tantrum because I cleaned. lol I highly recommend this app. It definitely keeps me motivated and helps me keep track of what needs to be done.”
Brilliant
“I’ve used the app for nearly a year with great success. If you get the timing right you always a) have a house which survives sudden visitors and b) you don’t have to engage brain about what to get done. It also makes you realise how inefficient having a cleaner is: inevitably some things get cleaned too much, done too little. The app is fun, satisfying, very well designed and easy to use. Will keep using it.”
“I use this app for cleaning, but also reminders. When to change filters, toothbrushes, etc. It is very useful for that.”
“Absolutely adore this app and love competing with dusty especially today as I nuked him and his mates in the bathroom and laundry. This app makes house work fun again! Welldone to the creater for this one. Oh and I love the timer function too.”
My sanity saver
“I have had this app for more years than I can remember. It is so easy to set up and all extra features (which can sometimes complicate use) are easily enabled and disabled to suit. My set up has gone through many iterations to match the state of my life at any given time.”
I love this app
“I even checked if the developer made other apps. Unfortunately, there’s only this one.”
“Tody continues to be an incredible app for sorting out cleaning, tidying and maintenance in my home. No ads. I love the immediately visible status bars for each room/area and task, I get a lot of positivity getting each room/area closer to green status. I quite like to see my completed tasks stack up over the month and it's also quite fun to race against dusty too. The automatic todo list helps to identify the most critical tasks that need to be done. I love it. Thanks guys!”
“This is THE app you're looking for, and the ultimate cleaning list in one! My spouse and I are happily following a cleaning schedule and we're quite motivated by the competitive side of it. Being able to manage the competitive load to set a vacation are bonus as well! This has been SO worth it!”
“Love this app, especially because Dusty is hilarious, and you can sort the tasks both according to date or area. Also like the satisfying sound when I finish a task. Wish we could sort tasks according to difficulty so we could work according to our mood--getting many tasks done quickly or eating the toad, so to speak. Wish I knew how to pronounce the name. Is it too-dee or tow-dee or something else?”
Vest cleaning app
“I have this app for years and I love it.”
“I love this app.... it keeps me on my toes.”
“so unbelievably helpful. being able to team up with other people in your household is very useful. it costs 30 for the year, but I think it's worth it”
“Great! I love taking care of my home, but like this I can even create chalk notes that gives me the good kind and f dopamine 🌟”
“this made life so much easier. no one has to tell anyone what to do and for someone with ADHD it is a great system 😁”
This app saved my life
“For the first time in my life my house is clean, no stress, no nagging, everyone does their tasks at a time that suits them, visitors can drop by and everything looks good. I can’t express how much of a mental load this app has eliminated in my life!”
“This app makes cleaning fun and grumpy Dusty Is motivating because the more you clean, the more you tick him off. lol”
Motivational
“I’ve been severely restricted in my mobility and I’m not able to do much housework but this app is a great motivation to at least try to get things clean. It keeps me and my spouse on track!”
“It is a great motivator since it gamifies cleaning. I also appreciate it helps me keep track of when I did a task and need to repeat it. The fact that it breaks large cleaning jobs into small tasks or areas also helps to work with my short attention span.”
“this app is really great at helping you organize cleaning and keeping you on track!! easy to use.”
“I'm 1 month into using this app and it has been completely life changing. It helps my ADHD brain keep a clean house like nothing has ever been able to before. It is simple to use and I love that it has both suggested options and customizable tasks specific to each room type. It doesn't nag you to use it and yet I find myself excited to come back every day and check off tasks. I was impressed with how much the free version had, but chose the paid version to coordinate with my spouse. Thank you!”
“Used it free for a while, but for me, it's worth paying for. Super helpful for tracking all the regular cleaning tasks that are easy to overlook. (I did learn that I personally need to have notifications turned off, because getting a reminder to clean on a day when I have no time just adds stress.) The customization is great. The Dusty competition is a fun motivator. Being able to check off a bunch of things when I'm in a cleaning mood is super rewarding.”
“great app. it keeps me motivated and reminds me of everything that needs to be done. I was horrible about forgetting certain things while cleaning a space.”
“I really love this app. It can take a while to get the right balance with customising it to your own home and preferences. I went overboard with too many tasks initially and became quite overwhelmed. But once I got the balance right and designed the right tasks it has really helped me stay on track.”
Good app for you kids with phone or tablets
“I love this app you do chores to defeat this dust ball thing and it keeps track of who did what”
Very useful! Love the all
“Love how we can customize and add task so easily, that we can share the task with someone else! Easy to use love it”
Brilliant
“One of the few decent apps that has a great free version and makes me want to purchase. This app is my new go to for home cleaning and maintenance. Well done.”
“absolutely love it!! it helps me stay on track and my house has never been this clean and organized!”
Great app for reducing stress
“This app helps us keep on top of household cleaning even when we’re busy. We used to wait until we had large chunks of time to clean EVERYTHING all at once, but now we just do our cleaning bit by bit. This app makes that easy without being stressful by having a schedule of rotating tasks that we can do in small bursts. It helps us keep things clean before they get too dirty. Overall the app has a a clean user interface with a nice set of features. We especially appreciate the ability to pause when we’re out of town since we travel for work a lot.”
“NOT A WANT BUT A NEED! i am a horrible tracker of keeping things organized and clean. blame it on adhd or whatever. this app just saved me, seriously! i am so happy. their task library is good but i am so glad i can add my own custom tasks. Another cool thing i did, i added a new room and named it self care. add cutting nails, oiling hair, face masks, wax, everything alike. and now i can keep track of those too. i cannot imagine not having this app anymore, seriously!”
The only thing that has worked for me!
“The way this app allows you to break up daily tasks into small, bite-sized pieces has been so helpful for tackling my executive dysfunction. Genuinely life changing!”
“like the tracking system, it helps be aware of my progress and consistency.”
“Perfect for house chores and really good for tracking habits too. Update: 2 years using it and still great. Update2: 2 more years and keep using it every day”
“This app is great, especially for being free. I have a hard time remembering or finding the energy to do chores around the house, and this app is really helpful in reminding me and encouraging me”
“love how this app motivates me to clean my house!”
“Helps me get all my chores done and stay organised”
Absolutely love
“I love, love, love this app. It keeps me accountable when it comes to all my cleaning and my house is always clean. It’s worth paying for it.”
“I LOVE THIS APP!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is EXACTLY what I needed for my ADHD to break down tasks and the timer helps me immensely!!”
Essential app
“This app is absolutely fantastic for those among us who have no concept of time. It completely takes the guess work out of scheduled chores. Just one example, I have a large family so a lot of beds to change. And some that need changing more regularly than others. I don’t have to remember when I last did them with this app. I would give it more stars if I could.”
“I've never reviewed an app before, but I really love this. I've installed it on my kids phones and we're having tons of fun with it. Helps motivate and organize an ADHD brain. Free version has everything you would need.”
“Works great to get everyone to participate in cleaning.”
“Tody has helped me focus on tasks in small increments and in a fun way! I paid for the Premium and it's worth it!”
“Absolutely worth paying for in our household, makes keeping track of both one off and long term infrequent tasks really easy.”
Tody
“I love it but sometimes I forget it’s there😭”
“I have a really hard time cleaning my house and keeping up with it. The way this app helps you break up the tasks makes it so I'm not overwhelmed and racing Dusty makes it fun as well!!!”
“Love this App for 'gamefying' my cleaning. Keeps me clean and tidy without overwhelm. Great App”
“I have used both premium and free versions. Both are great, it's a good tool to get the whole household to help clean. I primarily use it for tasks more seldom done such as clean the washing machine, drains, clean bathmat etc.”
“this is my favorite app thus far for organization! super nice that i can set the frequency of tasks, create my own tasks, and use checklists. i even turned on notifications to help me keep up with my housework. it has been really helpful for keeping me on track and helping me know when my less frequent tasks need done. theres premium options, but i dont need it, the basic options are adequate!”
“The house manager I didn't know I needed! I only use the free app, but I love how customizable it is and how it will organize things for me based on urgency or location. I love I can have it as a checklist or use the timed challenge option. it's a perfect balance of organization and gamification. I especially like that it tracks things based on when it was last done, not when it was due, so if I fall behind, it doesn't double up tasks just to maintain the schedule.”
“Fantastic, fun to use and keeps you on task. premium features aren't required really cheap to pick up with a long trial period. top marks.”
“helps to organize all the cleaning tasks. very good reminder so nothing is left behind. I love it.”
“Great app that helps me with regular household chores, as well as checklists that I use outside my home. Premium version is also great, and worth the money if you enjoy the app.”
I love checkboxes!
“This helps keep me on task and get the jobs completed. It's so essential for me!”
“love this app. one of the few that actually helped me stay organized.”
“Works for my use case, even if it's just the free version.”
A breath of fresh air
“I never write reviews, but I’ve been using this app for over a month. My house has never been so clean and I have way less mental load when it comes to what chores need done. I LOVE that I can put deep cleaning tasks in the app too, it doesn’t have to just be daily/weekly chores. Nothing gets missed or pushed off. Highly recommend this app if cleaning is a stressor in your life.”
“it's simple enough that a person with severe ADHD can follow it. and it truly helps me. I've had several apps that are supposed to help with chores, all too complicated and frustrating. They might work well for others, but i found them too hard to keep track. Thiis one is perfect for me.”
“This is one of my favorite apps, not because I like cleaning (I really don't), but because I don't feel like the developers are trying to take advantage of me. The annual subscription is a reasonable price and the features are genuinely helpful. The app isn't the fanciest out there...but that's a good thing! I don't feel like the makers of this app are trying to squeeze as much money out of me as they can get away with. They're simply providing me a service that is worth what they're asking for.”
Fantastic
“It really helps me to stay on top of cleaning. I love doing a little each day in stead of all at once.”
“I love this app. since using it my house has been cleaner than ever and it stays that way. I love how user friendly it is.”
Organized my cleaning
“My house is cleaner. My husband and I can tag team and use the app to guide us.”
“This is a solid app that almost makes cleaning fun. It allows you to manage multiple users, and even plan "sprints" (my word) for cleaning, to help you block off time and plan the work. There's a scoring system that can help you decide a) how much effort a maid does for you, and b) who a scoreboard of who does the most cleaning. You can even filter certain tasks to only select users, like your children. You can also record notes, for instructions or other things. I could keep going.”
“Makes it easy to track chores, and my 5yo gets motivated to beat Dusty. A win!”
Tody for the win!
“I have been using this app for the last 9 months or so, and it is a huge blessing. It has perfectly managed to capture all the timing you could need for repeating tasks. It gives you a sense of accomplishment by marking it done. This has fit perfectly to what I need to know when to do various items that are recurring and to see when I last did them. I lean more towards a “built in game” similar to Finch, where each thing done could “earn” points or build the pet up, but of all the ones I have downloaded and tried, I keep returning to Tody for the ease of use and layout design.”
“Easy to use, useful, good value for the annual plan.”
“Love it. keeps me on track with my cleaning schedules. Makes keeping the house and garden tasks easier to manage without getting overwhelmed.”
“This is honestly the best planning app I've ever used. Makes routines easy to manage”
“I enjoyed that the tutorial was in small bite sized chunks and not the usual super long too much info kind. I also like that it has a chore library since I'm still figuring out what needs cleaning and how often etc. (didn't know you had to flip mattresses). The time limited challenges are fun, cleaning race with dusty as well. overall good app, I do wish it had a widget of the monthly cleaning race with dusty tho.”
“Having an app that breaks tasks down into small chunks is a lot easier on the brain load than tackling one huge task. Sure, I could make a chore list myself, but again that's a big task on days when I don't want an extra thing to do in a day.”
“Such a good app. Has made cleaning easier and has made me slightly competitive when it comes to cleaning 😅 My house has never been cleaner and more organised 😁 Highly recommend!”
“love its simplicity, customizability, and ease of use!!”
“this app has helped me maintain a tidy house without that overwhelming feeling that everything is always dirty. it's nice to have that reinforcement that "the house is clean" when Im caught up!”
“ok I love this app - I've never gotten on with cleaning apps but I've used this most days and am currently ahead by 10 points which is a lovely lil serotonin boost. My flat has never been so tidy. BUT sometimes I accidentally swipe and complete a task and I can't 'un-complete' it back to its previous state. Can we get an "undo last action" button? that would be so helpful. love u lil developers 🕹️”
“My ADHD really loves this. My competitive side really loves this. My wife and kid do not care for it. They are just mad that I'm winning.”
“I've been using this app for a while now, and it's been incredibly helpful. I'm not the tidiest person but this has helped me keep my house in order better than anything else. It's personalizable but still simple without too many moving parts, exactly what is needed. The only feature I wish it had is a button to 'reset' all tasks, in case you get overwhelmed, go on vacation, or whatever else, and want to start from a clean slate without a cascade of overdue tasks hanging over you.”
“Amazing app! helped gain control of my hurricane of a house. Recommend for kids, adults, anyone will love this app! Absolutely love this app! ❤️”
“We love it. If you put the effort into setting it up then it helps to redistribute the mental and physical load of household chores so it doesn't fall on just one member of the household to project manage everyone. We also made custom areas like pet care so appointments, flea and tick and grooming are on a schedule and tracked in on central location. Great app!”
“so far so good. if I decide to customize, I might pay for it. it is keeping me on track.”
“helps a busy woman keep on top of everything”
Improvement
“I love the app so far. I just wish I could organize my tasks for each room or area so that I can group similar tasks together.”
Clean home, happy mom
“I can keep on top of cleaning without the mental load. Wish I could mark multiple tasks completed at once (by room) but I love the feeling of marking it done and not having to carry the mental load of when something was lat done or needs to be done next!”
“really helped reduce the ahdh cleaning overwhelm”
“Excellent app to keep track of your cleaning schedule”
Should have downloaded this years ago
“Love love loveee the app! You can write notes, edit the frequency and create custom tasks. It sends just the right amount of notifications; not too much to give you anxiety, and just enough to be reminded every few days. Where has this app been all my life 😩🤩”
“it is easy to use.it is helping me get the house clean”
I’d be screwed without it
“This app helps to keep me on task. No gimmicks… just useful as hell, easy to use, and you get the results you want and need.”
“My partner and i use this app to manage our household chores, we have chosen not to make it a competition (but im still winning) it makes it very easy to depict whats required based on urgency. Having the ability to edit tasks depending on frequency is an awesome ability and task history is great to see who avoids certain tasks and who needs to pick up on helping with those jobs! highly recommend this for anyone who need direction on what to clean next!”
“I don't often leave reviews, but I love this app so much that I had to. I'm using the free version and so far it's got everything I need, but I may upgrade to premium in the future. =) I want to live in a clean home and Tody is solving all of the issues I have with remembering when to clean things. I've only had it for 2-3 weeks, but yesterday I scrubbed my kitchen sink and bathtub like nobody's business just because of this app. I love it. I got my friend hooked as well. Try it!”
“I've been using the app for a few years. I now suggest it to anyone with adhd who has issues with remembering when they need to clean or maintain anything. I love that I can pause a task if it doesn't need to be done yet, that I can check the history of a task and create a one time task for something I know I'll forget to do. My spouse does some of the housework, so I love that I can assign chores to both so either one of us can see what needs to be done.”
“the premium just to add color is lame.over all it's a pretty good app and you don't need premium for basic functions. it's been making me clean a lot more.”
“super fun and easy way to stay on top of your weekly chores!”
“I love how this app (Dusty) keeps me motivated to clean. It reminds me when chores are due and how long it has been since I did them last.”
I it’s still amazing without premium
“I honestly wish I gotten this app sooner it helps me clean really well and I use the free version and honestly, I don’t even need premium Ssssssooooooo good 😊”
“I am ADD and OCD so housework is overwhelming because I try to do it all at once and make nothing but more off a mess. This app has been a godsend! it helps keep me on track, remember last time I did something, remind me what's due today, allow you to reward yourself at the end of the month by earning stars, and my husband has commented on how nice and organized our house is and how I don't seem so overwhelmed with cleaning anymore. I have shared it with everyone in my life.”
“great app! really helping me keep on top of things. I just wish I could customise dusty 😢.”
“amazing app LoopLoop Aps. a Virgin for gyms would be perfect”
“great app, easy to use and easy to customise. also great, prompt, and friendly communication with customer service when I had a question. very recommended”
Great for ADHD!!
“So incredibly helpful for ADHD and hectic life. Helps me organize all cleaning tasks, and incentivizes keeping up with them. Allows me to do a small amount of cleaning every day instead of putting it all off and then spending a whole day cleaning everything. After using the free version for a while, I just upgraded to premium which is actually so cheap for even more features!!”
“Amazing chore app with great free features.”
“I just downloaded it and I find it very fun it makes me more eager abt doing chores lmao. I would love for the prizes thing to be some built-in in prizes in the app like a sticker. It just makes me motivated bc of curiosity of what the prize could be even if it's just a silly thing, lol. Also getting achievements(similar to prizes) is another motivating idea from my perspective.”
“Genuinely one of the best apps I've ever used for keeping track of cleaning tasks. I've got adhd and it's near impossible to keep track of everything that needs to be done and when to do it. This app is very user friendly way and I appreciate that it suggests cleaning tasks as well as allows you to input your own. I'm currently trying the free trial for premium so me and my partner can sync the app. I really like the ability to share tasks with them and the mental load it's taken of my plate.”
“very helpful for my ADHD and it's free. I just wish it had a self-care section to check-off my exercises and reading. you can create your own room and add goals so I did that. I highly recommend!”
“This app has allowed me to gradually get an overwhelming job almost done. It is the type of job that will take a while to get done. I can add jobs as I can and put as many categories as I need. For instance, I even have a category for self care. My floors are spotless. My dishes done. No spider webs in the corner. I started out with just a few jobs and do maintenance steps on those. Then I add a couple of more jobs to add to my routine, like plant watering and filling the bird feeders.”
37 yo messy single male HELP
“I had no plan and didnt even know how to keep up. This app is great because it lists the chores for you, for each space, the setup is so easy, and the recurrence makes sense. Its really helping me a lot. The best!”
“its helping me get my chores done and i am having more freetime”
“This is an app I actually use daily and it keeps me on-track to focus on keeping my house clean and not letting it pile up to the point that even starting it would seem impossible. I purchased the full version after using the free version for months. The app has a number of options such as customizing tasks, and the ability to switch functions off and on, so that it's not a "nag" app, constantly reminding you every hour what you still have to do... unless you want it that way.”
Best Chore Tracker!
“Love it! Nothing makes me delete an app faster than a “free” app that forces you to pay before it’s actually usable. This app has excellent functionality and customization without a forced pay wall. Shout out to the developers because they made a great little app.”
“Nice way to help me keep on top of the various maintenance and cleaning of the house.”
So great
“Tody is so great! I’ve always had a hard time tracking how to clean less visible tasks, tody is a huge help for setting a custom schedule and reminding me when to clean things! It’s a huge mental load off.”
AMAZING APP🤩🤩🤩😁
“Fell in love with this app the second I got it! Motivates me to do my tasks!😁”
“It is game changer for me because micro tasking makes me see clearly and it keeps me focus I dont get distracted. and first thing I know my house is clean despite we have 3 young kids. thank you to the creators of this app. finally a solution that works! A clean house is joyful it gives energy.”
“Tody is very helpful and easy to use. Much more efficient to work through a list then to wonder, what do I need to do today?”
“makes me feel like an adult that gets things done - wow”
Amazing
“Best app ever. I have been using it for years. There’s nothing else like it that I know of.”
“I struggle with house cleaning both mentally & physically. Tody helps me to breaks the jobs down into attainable tasks. I love challenging Dusty & the other challenges the app creates. it really motivates me to get the tasks done...from simple to difficult. There is a lot more I love about this app but you'll have to try it out yourself to see 😀”
“Im very happy with this app. helps me in my day to day activities.”
“my husband and I use this app and I couldn't recommend it more! It helps keep things organized not only in the physical sense but in our heads too! This is especially important to note given how we are both neurodivergent!”
“I don't often write reviews, but I felt compelled in this case. In January, I received a stern warning from my landlord about the condition of my apartment. I'm normally a clean person, though admittedly somewhat cluttered; however, in December/January, life hit like a freight train, and things tipped into unclean. Tody was the tool that got me back on track. It doesn't clean your apartment, obviously, but by using the responsive features, my place is the tidiest it's ever been.”
Excellent App
“The app has helped remove day-to-day household tasks from my tired brain. Exactly what I needed.”
“Makes cleaning very easy. I love the daily to do list and notification reminders!”
“I am one week in with Tody for a single person. So far it's been a very good experience. I am considering getting the subscription for two people. I truly appreciate the free trial to make sure Today is a good fit for me. Thank you Team Tody!”
“I stopped using it for a while but just came back to it. its great for my ADHD as I don't need to over analyse what to do. I cam see the data on what needs my attention and run with it.”
“Very helpful! Sometimes I just need a little reminder and a little gaming machanic to keep me on task.”
“Great app. Really allows you to see who does all the cleaning, who's not pulling their weight or if you're actually starting to get things fairly on track.”
“It's a pretty simple app to use. I was looking for something to try and coordinate household chores between family members. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the family interested, and I needed a personal check list of to do's so I'm not jumping between apps, so it didn't work out. Customer service was reasonable to work with when my free trail ended and my account was charged.”
“i love this app, it's easy its simple and it's fun, racing against dusty helps me get more done and helps me feel empowered to do it when I'm too tired to.”
“This has been really helpful in breaking my cleaning tasks into manageable lists. If I get overwhelmed by how much cleaning I need to do, this has also been helpful in giving me a place to start and to also see that I'm slowly making progress.”
“I had this app a long time before I listened to a friend sing its praises. Having a great time beating the little dust monster at his own game!”
“This app is fantastic, I even paid for the extras. I really love the preloaded rooms, much easier to tweak than to build it all from scratch.”
“A very nice and intuitive app that helped me and my partner to take stock of our household chores and to actually split them 50/50. Big thanks and kudos to the app developers! 🤗”
“easy to use, and satisfying clicking sounds. historical stats are also easy to see in distribution by user. can also see the frequency by dates+area”
“Finally, an app that does the thinking for me! This has been a lifesaver for staying organized. It breaks everything down so I know exactly what needs to be cleaned and when, which keeps me from feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend”
“love this app! great for keeping track of everyday cleaning and more seasonal or periodic stuff. it's easy to use and user friendly”
“Easy to set up, add areas and edit so I can fine tune my cleaning schedule.”
“loving this app. so helpful. have bee telling every one about it”
Helpful
“Actually like it a lot. Beat cleaning app”
Fabulous
“It’s such a helpful app. The overwhelming of doing daily tasks is slowly diminishing. The fact that I can assign tasks to other members of my family is a bonus and is helping us keep a more orderly life”
“😭 I CANNOT EXPLAIN MY LOVE FOR THIS APP 😭😭😭😭😭 THANK YOU 🙏🏼”
“Love this app. We have parents and kids as users and we love doing the challenges together. It really helps keeping on top of things but also to keep track of those chores that you only have to do every once in a while.”
“I love this app. It guides me to do the things I normally forget or ignore. I like to get the misc. out of the way, it makes some of those mundane chores, tolerable.”
“We've been using Tody for about a year. Makes it much easier to keep track of things in our multigenerational household. The timers and incentives have been motivating to the kids, and having each adult log their tasks makes it easier to keep track of what still needs done. Two things I would love would be if there could be a way to keep certain "rooms" active during vacation. And if there were a way to "chain" certain chores (e.g. the day after towels are washed they need folded.)”
“Cute app. Does what I need it too, and am sharing with the family. Annual cost is not expensive, $40 a year to share with up to 6 people in the household. The subscription is only needed for whoever starts the chore task sync or whatever it's called.”
“I'm absolutely loving the app. It's been a life saver (literally for me) Super easy to use. For only $15 a year if you want extras, it's affordable. Thank you”
“Really good app, it's not only about listing what we have to do, but it has parts of the house, it's more organized. I do wish we wouldn't have the premium, though, so we can do what it doesn't allow us to do, if we don't have the premium. Like, I would want to change the color instead of it being always green, teal, or blue. Overall, great app, I would suggest adding some more features. (Your choice), and if possible then get rid of the premium, that would make the app more enjoyable. Thanks!”
“An absolute life saver for my chaotic ADHD self. I famously struggle with finishing a task before moving onto the next and end up with 6 tasks on the go and with the house messier than it started. This app has genuinely changed my home life completely. I have a spotless house and feel so on top of everything! The scoring and "checking off" aspects of the app really help to motivate me and help me feel accomplished. Definitely recommend to anyone needing help organising/ prioritising tasks!”
“I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet. This is the best app ever for a to do list. I enjoy the points system, because it keeps me motivated. It's a very easy to use app and I can add more people.”
“Smart, easy, and enjoyable to use. This app is very affordable ($5/year for premium) and has a great premise for staying on top of cleaning. My only qualm is that you do need to pay for each device you use it on, but if you don't have multiple devices or people needing access, then that's not even a problem 2026 Update: still a user and still a great app.”
“Absolutely LOVE this app! It keeps my family organized and my house clean!”
“Perfekt for house chores that I always neglect to do, simply because I completely forget.”
Motivating
“Tody has made cleaning a fun challenge. It helps me keep track of jobs I often forget about.”
“My house looks amazing. The ap helps to stop procrastination.”
Astounding
“I never knew how much I need this app. My housekeeping went from haphazard messiness to suitable for company with the organizational tools of this app. Absolutely love it. Update: the new update to the app will not keep the sounds off. Every day I have to go in and reset the sound setting to off. Sometimes more than once a day...frustrating 😕 Update: 1/28/26 The bugs worked out. Love this app so much. Could not function without it!”
“I totally love this app. It helps with my inattentive ADHD at my age. I always had trouble starting one cleaning task and ending up starting many at the same time, never finishing any of them. But with Tody, I can organize myself, and I love how it motivates me.”
“This app has really helped my disorganized brain to get my cleaning under control.”
“Love this app! I don't really do reviews on here much if at all, but it's the first app that's motivated me to clean. The clicks and sounds for each tap is satisfying to me and beating Dusty actually helps frame the chores differently since it feels like a competition instead of a beatdown (me being beaten down by the chores). So definitely recommend it!”
“Been using this for a week, great app fun to race with Dusty. Nice reminder for those weekly tasks. I am using the free version.”
Best Chores App
“Best chores app I’ve used. Easy to use and set up and really helped me get my cleaning routine on track. Hardly any popup ads and the premium is just to unlock some bonus features, but subscribed to support the team and to keep them going. Thank you so much Tody!!”
“amazing motivator. recommend it so much keeps me organised and focused”
Excellent app!
“The design is fantastic, you set up tasks based on rooms and set frequency of tasks based on days, weeks, months. I really like the daily tasks window which organizes all tasks in a daily to-do list. With all the productivity apps out there, I almost wish this doubled as a health app but I am satisfied with cleaning chores”
“great app if you want to keep up with your cleaning. would recommend.”
“This app really helps me with the clean up chores I put off. There are certain areas that are too much for me to face. The thing that works for me is to have a daily deal with 5-10 things and then walk away. For example I am going through my pantry 5 cans or jars at a time getting rid of out of date ones. With open, rince, putting in food bin for my worm bin, and recycle container, 5 is enough for a day! Thank you to the makers of this app!”
“I am loving this app. I have not taken advantage of the full paid version, just the free stuff. But it's literally saving my ADHD brain. I love that I am competing against a lil dust bunny dude, that is such a funny lil motivational piece I wasn't expecting. But just being able to have this make me a list of what I should get done today is so super helpful. It keeps me from feeling overwhelmed and shutting down. It's well made and easy to set up.”
“I do like the app but I keep getting errors for trying to sign up for premium. This is most likely a Google issue and not an app issue. edit: I had to verify a payment issue in Google and got it sorted.”
“I can't even begin to explain how life-changing this app has been for me! The suggestions of what common cleaning jobs are in each area of the house made me realise I was living in such an unhygienic way. I finally feel like a functional adult that can clean like everyone else. I just get up and see what jobs to do that day! it's so manageable and I feel fantastic. ADHD approved! thank you Tody”
“so far so good.! I'm really enjoying this app. makes keeping my house tidy feel easier and gives me a sence of accomplishment. no major glitches or issues. only thing I think could be cool is to be able to swipe through the rooms instead of backing out every time.”
“I've used Tody for a few years and seen it through lots of upgrades. Can't recommend it enough to keep your house on track, especially paired with a partner or family account. It's a fun setup and holds you accountable.”
“This app is useful for organizing and keeping track of home chores.”
“Easy set up, lovely interface, intuitive. Very helpful to keep track of tasks.”
“I love this app, it's really the only useful one for my ADHD. Helps me keep on top of it and got my partner doing things more regularly so we now have a good split of labour. People will be surprised by the split if both think they're doing more around the house! It's great for alternating tasks and seeing history, and you get the best experience if you add the widget to your homepage to see a quick count of how many tasks remain for you today. Only thing missing is excel export feature!”
“I love it because it doesn't bother me with annoying notifications and makes schedule cleaning more fun and less stressful. I highly recommend it.”
Great App
“I’m really excited about this app. With all of the things we juggle in today’s world, this app takes so much mental load off of trying to remember everything and stay organized. I love how simple the design is and that you can organize by room, but also pull up a comprehensive task list of things that are due or due soon. Additionally, I think it’s wonderful that the free option still contains almost all of the features, and that if you do opt in for the paid version it is super cost friendly. Probably will end up subscribing yearly to support their mission since it is so affordable.”
“Edit: Thanks for the response! updated to 5 stars! My wife has an iPhone and has the prizes feature, but we don't have it on Android yet? It would be nice to have features like this, that affect the whole house, to be released on both platforms at the same time. Other than that, this app is great!”
“Dusty motivates me 2 clean up his messes. THAT WAS BACK IN 22. I just bought a new phone & installed TODY again. My experience w/ TODY is even better. The cleaning challenges are very encouraging & motivating 2 someone like me, who was raised by parents who used housecleaning as a punishment, instead of a loving responsibility & contribution 2 being a family. I must say, that back in 22, the very first time I saw Dusty unalived by my cleaning efforts, it was a shock 😲. I enjoy his comedy 😃.”
“Have been using it for a year now and it has made my life so much easier. I feel like I have so much more free time as I divide the jobs up when they need to be done, instead of trying to fit everything into holidays and weekends. Can't fault it!”
“This app has helped alot around the house. It also makes it where I don't feel I have to do it all in one day.”
“great way to keep track of chores and quantify the data”
“I'm exhausted. I cleaned so much trying to evict that thing lol. 😩 very good app 👌”
“Easy to use app. I have had this app for probably over a decade and have been very satisfied with it!”
“This is the first cleaning app that I have kept on my phone for longer than a week. ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR! I'm really bad about knowing where to start when it comes to cleaning, this app has helped with that tremendously. Adding that it's now the end of 2025 and I'm still using this daily. I've even downloaded other apps to see what they are all about and they don't come close”
My first ever app review
“This is really the perfect app. I have adhd and love it for knowing what chores to do! It’s really changed my life!”
Best App For Visual Folks
“I not only use this app for cleaning I use it to keep track of my ferments, healthy food consumption and so much more. The clean “at a glance” visuals makes keeping track of when the last time I did something so easy.”
Most useful home maintenance for folks with ADHD
“It’s been great for me to break up cleaning tasks into manageable chunks when I get overwhelmed”
“I've used Tody for almost a year and it's helped A LOT with helping me keep on top of the chores.”
“has really helped me motivate to keep my house cleaner”
“love this app to keep my to do list organized!”
“I think tody is the most user friendly, efficient cleaning tracking app I've used. Any time I try something new I always come back. It's my favorite.”
“I downloaded this on a whim in search of something to help me get organized. I tried the free version out, then was given a full month trial of premium. The generous trial and very reasonable annual premium price for 1 person convinced me to stick with the app. The widget is a helpful tool since it's right there when I open my phone.”
Totally Easy!!!
“This is totally the easiest way to keep your house clean with other people. Everyone is assigned small chores daily and my house stays clean!!!!”
“I like this app. It's not as mundane as others and yet cleaning seems like a healthy competition with the dust bug thing. It's not overly gamified like other apps either.”
“I love this app. helps me keep up on cleaning. easy to organize tasks by rooms. love that you can set the duration between task deadlines.”
“Keeps me motivated. And its nice to have reminders for things I only clean monthly or a couple times a year”
“has really helped me stay on top of tasks. makes it a bit fun.”
New feature?
“I love this app. I only wish we could add reward points and customize rewards that can be claimed by each user”
“Perfect for keeping track of housework, and for providing motivation to keep on top of it”
Looks good
“Wanted to set up reminders for things I needed to clean and I think this app helps more than adding it to the “reminders” app on my phone as I can organize each task by room and specify when I want to do like every few days or the 1st of the month. Also along the days I’ve been seeing more things I need to clean around the house so I just add to the list so I don’t have to wonder when I last washed/cleaned something. No issues I see so far.”
“LOVE this app. Being able to break cleaning into small tasks is genuinely helping. I don't think "oh, I have to clean everything" just "I can do A and B today." I am definitely getting better about tidying regularly.”
“This app has been phenomenal so far! I've been using it for two weeks and it helps me keep on track. The customizable tasks is key! And the gamification and the focus timer really are so helpful. Definitely 5 stars! The free version is very good, but planning on upgrading for the ability to synch with others to work together. I would recommend starting easy, building confidence and momentum.”
“Simple to use. Keeps me on task. Love the customization, even in the free version. Exactly what I needed!”
“easy to use, keeps you organized, and reduces overwhelm!”
“The click and door shutting sounds is addicting. My house is the cleanest it’s been in months and I don’t feel burned out. I just do a few task everyday instead of cleaning everything when I expect visitors. Good app for people that forget that washing machine need to be washed.”
“this makes cleaning so much easier. highly recommend”
“Easy to use and helps me stay on track with my routine tasks. I have the paid option, so no ads”
“Racing Dusty and mark off chores has actually helped me get my kids involved in cleaning. The app helps me provide a clear list for them and some satisfaction in the "game." The app always works well and doesn't cost much but the free package provides plenty to use the app very nicely. The only change I would like to see is being able to "challenge" Dusty to a race when I want to. There's something different about the "race" being held within an app vs me starting my own timer for the kids.”
“Tody is really helping me stay on top all the cleaning I need to do in this house. The game with Dusty is fun, and motivating. yeah, I'm motivated by checking things off. I appreciate the ad-free experience.”
“Still loving this app 3.5 years later! I downloaded 4 different ones and this one has the best organization and options. Habitica is close but does not have good scheduling options for monthly or bimonthly chores like Tody. Tody is still the best! -Joy 2025 *** This app is so motivating. You will love the organization and the dusty character. He is funny and motivates me to clean. I love it so far! -Joy 2022”
“This is one of my favorite apps on my phone. You enter in the rooms of your home & each task that needs to get done & how often. You can even assign points to a task based on how hard it is. You can enter in family members' names and have everyone trying to get points. It gives you stats for who has the most points. We even use it to keep track of our goals & school work. The best part is a character named Dusty who's working to dirty the home. We all work together as a family to fight Dusty!”
“I love this app. I've been using it for years! I really helps me keep track of the little thing that need to be done randomly around the house like "vacuum out the heater vents" before fall gets here. I enjoy being able to have a check off list. I also use it for my medication. It makes a great daily reminder”
“this has to be the best app ever. as someone that struggles with ADHD and motivation, this is a game changer! and its fun :) highly recommend!”
“great so motivational app but i suggest to add more languages like arabic and turkish ..🥰”
Best app
“This app keeps me organized, I don’t forget trash days or recycling days, keeps my house tidy and clean! Love it”
“It does a great job of keeping you kn track of your chores. I am surprised how on task this app has been able to allow me to keep up with my chores. Its almost been harder to not do them then it is to do them.”
“1 week in and my house has never been cleaner! Daily tasks are there in a to do list that isn't in your face or naggy. I feel so accomplished as I check things off and don't have them cycling on a carousel in my brain. I've even been able to clean ahead as I choose. App is easy to use with most functionality available without a paid subscription.”
“love this app. gives me ideas for extra ways I can keep my house clean and gives me a reminders of things I need to do. helps keep all my chores organized”
“I use to always make my own cleaning lists but this is so much better and keeps my adult ADHD mind on track.”
“This is the only cleaning app that I keep coming back to. I love that I can customize every part of my house or other tasks that need to be done. I have had this app for about 3 years now and will keep using it as long as I can. I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into this app. I have bought the whole subscription and it is worth it. Try it out!”
“I really think the app, definitely helps with keeping my cleaning duties up to date.”
“I love this app for keeping me focused and motivated to get stuff done.”
“Brilliant App. Keeps me focused with my very busy schedule.”
“just using free options for myself and am surprised how much it actually helps. especially to do things I have put off forever because it wasn't urgent. I started by being honest about the time frame for all the tasks in the library that are in my house. the first few days were overwhelming since everything was showing red and due. I would recommend not putting everything at overdue, even if you know it is. still, I just started choosing jobs and find the little clicks satisfying & motivating”
“( new update: last week the app disappeared from my phone without warning. i had to reinstall, but i lost all my lists which i needed. not fair. ) have enjoyed ticking things off, some how the sound effects work for my hungry adhd brain, and gives me some closure, instead of the infinite drowning endlessness of never ending unfinished nebulous tasks... a sense of a job being finite is very helpful and this app gave me that. yay! : )”
“This is one of the best task tracking apps. It is simple yet very effective and flexible. You can set reminders for your tasks in many ways depending on your needs. There is a feature called Dusty. He is a lovely little creature which represents the dirt in your house. He is there every time you open the app. If you don't complete the tasks on time, Dirty will dance in happiness. The lines he say are very funny. It is a creative way to urge me to do the housework.”
“Loving the app. I would like to learn more about what comes with the premium version. I've been using this app for months and I'm absolutely loving it. I love being able to keep track of everything I'm doing and I like the competition with Dusty. It makes cleaning more fun. I wish more of the timed cleaning challenges happened more often.”
“Okay, so I'm a new mom who also happens to have ADHD and low motivation plus a busy life. For years I have been on the hunt for an app to help not only organize my chores, but also have a "focus timer" for when I don't have a whole lot of time for chores. I found this app just recently and already LOVE it. My house is slowly looking so much better, plus I feel so proud of myself afterward. I also love that there are hardly any ads at all. Not to mention, I LOVE the competition with Dusty”
“the free app is very thorough and I appreciate that there's no pressure to upgrade, which ironically makes me want to upgrade as soon as possible.”
“I love the lack of ads in the free version. Free or paid, this app is fantastic! It's easy to visually see what needs the most help or easily see the list of tasks due. Dusty, the companion, is fun to go against, and it is so easy to turn him off if I dont want to.”
“I've been using the app for a few months. It keeps me aware of my household tasks. I enjoy checking tasks off my list and clearing the list for each day. Sometimes life gets in the way but I'm motivated to catch up again. As a lifelong procrastinator, this app has been a massively positive change.”
“Really love it. I have managed to deep clean every corner of my house in an organised way and properly - without forgetting any spots”
“My wife loves this app and I'm enjoying a cleaner home!”
“One of the best apps I have. I hate that I discovered it only recently”
Tody is 5 star worthy!🤩
“Tody is amazing!😍 I have been wanting my own pet for a while now and my parents said I need to be more responsible. I did not do good with that so my parents got me this app. I only got it a couple days ago and I already love it!😊 I think it’s great for younger kids along with many other ages. It’s pretty simple but very effective! The thing I like most about the app is racing Dusty!🤪 Tody also helps me my schedule and school work! 5 stars, ⭐️ definitely recommend, give it a try! - a tween🤍🤍🤍”
“This has been an absolute life saver for me. It helped me while I was learning to manage my time when I was learning how to be on my own, and still the best help for me while I'm in college. If I fall behind, which I often do, the challenges and focus timers help me get back up to speed.”
“App is perfect for keeping up with chores, I also use it for project management, it keeps me on task. ❤️”
“love this. my house is cleaner but I feel like I'm doing less cleaning!”
“Had for years and really great app with many different applications. Even used to track assignments and exams.”
“Excellent app that keeps us organized. Really helps keep chores from becoming overwhelming and nothing gets missed on the back burner.”
“I love this app! It keeps me on task and is not pushy about it. I also can't remember to stay on task or what was completed when, and Tody helps immensely with that!”
“brilliant. very easy to get ne organized better and it tricks me into doing the chores! impressivly well done”
“this is easy to use and helps schedule my cleaning”
Handy
“I’ve really been able to organize my life with this app.”
“A fantastic app that does what it says. Well worth the $10 a year for premium experience. Highly recommend!”
“thank you for this app, I'm audhd and it's helping me a lot, I wish u could make one to ... sorry for being so pitty, but remind us to shower, self care like washing my face, whatever, cuz I really almost always lose track of time. this app help me maintain a somewhat of a clean home, ofc it's on me, I really can't tell time and I keep getting distracted and overwhelmed. TYVM, I just added it 💗💗💗💗”
“Keeps me on task, remind me of all the little things I normally overlook. Spouse has never been happier!”
Just Download It
“I am loving this app! For a household of two or more the premium makes sense, and it’s really not bad.”
“Turns out the mental load of keeping a clean house was way worse than the actual cleaning part. Tody takes the mental load away completely, and adds a fun game. It's awesome!”
Fun
“My kids and I love this as we have fun cleaning and making the dust man (Tody) mad. And the different sayings. And it keeps the house clean and organised.”
“It is a gentle reminder of things that still need to be done. If I stay on top of the house stuff it's not so overwhelming.”
“PLEASE make another app for being productive for studying/working/other chores/self care thanks so much!”
“This has been a great app! I get overwhelmed thinking about all the chores that need to be done around the house. Being able to easily set a schedule everyone has been tremendously helpful!”
“My must-have app for smooth chore organization with assignment rotation – so worth getting the premium for syncing for multiple participants. One thing I'd appreciate in the future is even more UI customizability (e.g. font size, widget design), but that aside: an absolutely brilliant app.”
Very helpful
“I really like this app. It helps me stay focused and on a schedule. I would love for the app to have Apple Watch compatibility. Sometimes picking up the phone to check the list can interrupt my cleaning groove.”
“challenging myself in this app changes my cleaning chores from drab (not looking forward to doing it) to a personal challenge for self accomplishment.”
“Great app for productivity and keeping track of household maintenance”
“very good. highly recommend.Initially I used for my child but I have started using it too. Apparently gamification works for all ages.”
“I love the app it helps me so much to do my chores and it makes it so fun. 100% recommend. The only thing I would change is being able to pick what The little logo thing is for whenever you create a custom one.”
“love love love this app!!! I've been looking for a chore tracker that has this exact setup. It's perfect!”
“ADHD approved! A week ago, I was looking up cleaning calendars for adults/organizing apps because I felt I needed a way to not feel so overwhelmed with whatever chores I needed to get done. It always felt like I was behind on something and I wasn't being productive enough. This app is an absolute game changer. Not only is it easy to set up, but I feel like my house has never been cleaner, which sounds strange to say lmao. Plus, I like the little sounds when clicking on something.”
WONDERFUL!
“I am able to focus on tasks I haven’t done yet. Sounds odd but I always seem to focus on the same things. This app has allowed me to stop and think about the next thing and plan. I don’t need the premium but I might just purchase it cause I feel guilty about how much help this app has been.”
“Life changing relief of the mental load, engaging my family, and a cleaner house.”
“I have a small biz. I used to pay employees a higher wage with the expectation of chores complete. this makes chores gamified. now I give them an option. higher wage with high expectation ( I warn that I will resent them if they fall short) OR, I pay $8 per hour with the chance to double or tripple by completing the chores Tody. both are happier with option 2.”
Easy to use and cheap
“It’s just nice overall, helps my family with chores”
“I love this app. I get a real pleasure out of marking a task complete and this is motivating me to keep on top of my jobs.”
