Practically Perfect!
As someone who struggles manage daily tasks this app has been a life saver. If you are the kind of person that creates a plan, does it for a few weeks or even months and then gets in a rut this is great because you always have a complete list of your chores to come back to and that really help you minimize your rut time and get motivated again. It starts over fresh every month which helps me too. And the game element to cleaning with Dusty helps motivate my families competitive side. I love that you can sync everyone’s devices and chores in one space. I LOVE the new Focus Timer where I can set tasks for my kids and myself for a certain time to create a lil boost and the timer encourages everyone to “beat the clock”. All in all this app has been so helpful managing a task I absolutely hate - cleaning. It’s been such a struggle for me my whole life, and this app is part of helping me create better habits.Show lesscloolaroux

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, and thank you for letting us be a part of your journey toward better habits! This feedback makes our team really happy!Really, Really Helpful
This app is exactly what it should be. Not too complicated but nuanced enough to handle all aspects of chores and cleaning. I even use it for tracking tasks like book keeping. Highly recommend it. The effort system is very helpful too— it helps you not overwhelm yourself.
Edit- had to deduct a star because the utility has been decreased. By taking away the ability to creat zero effort tasks the developers have made the app much less useful. With zero effort tasks there is no limit to what you can add— small things that take seconds but that you need to remember to do can be added. But if you add too many of these quick but impressive tasks it unbalances the effort manager and makes Dusty (who was previously fun to complete with) useless. Overall still a very useful app.Show lessMJMiello
Competitive powers ACTIVATE!
God, there's nothing as satisfying as beating Dusty at his own game. I have gotten out of bed to do chores, not out of guilt, but solely for the pleasure of making him sulk because I had the most points 😂 Let me tell you, that is an achievement. I've always struggled with motivation and consistency, but this app turns cleaning into a game — literally!
Also, the actual chores/recurring tasks aspect of this app is incredibly well designed! It's intuitive, adaptable and just seems to get better the more you use it. I feel empowered and able to keep up.
In short, my house has been functionally clean and completely non-embarrassing for over two months, in spite of having toddlers, and I am never going back. Thank you SO MUCH to the app developers — and Dusty, brace yourself, cause I'm definitely gonna take the lead today!!!Show lessLockeDemosthenot

Thank you so much for writing this wonderful review! This made our day! Thanks for the 5-star rating!Love this app to keep me on track!
I love how easy it is to break down your home and even break down each room into individual tasks. Making custom rooms and tasks is also just as easy. Difficulty level per tasks? Awesome! Frequency? Editing each chore for whatever reason? Love it. Visual idea of what is overdue and by how much? Thanks for reminding me how much I’m slacking. No, seriously!
I wish I’d known about this app so much sooner! I downloaded it nearly a year and a half ago, and it’s the best thing for task management I’ve ever seen!
A question: I see the Dusty option/challenge in settings have have it set up - but I don’t see Dusty or the challenge bars on my Home Screen. Not sure how to fix that. Not that I “need” it, but I love the extra bit of fun the creators are trying to plug in.Show lessladyzbyrd
Live saver for ADHD people
I have always been horrible about cleaning, especially stuff that doesn’t need to be done every day. I’ve had this app for a year now and I’ve added all the fine details of my apartment.
It’s separated by room or area, which you can customize. I made a section for “Pets” and it includes cleaning their water fountain, bathing them, etc. In each section you can customize tasks, but there are common cleaning tasks that you can choose from as well.
It’s a pretty basic interface that I wish was a little more up to date, but it’s still a very effective app and I’m glad it’s not too busy.Show lessangiegibson
I have used for 4 years
I have used Tody app to keep my house clean for 4 years now - that is saying something! Tody is a great motivator for cleaning and helps me break housekeeping into smaller bites. If you are like me and have an “all or nothing” personality trait that makes balance difficult to achieve in some areas, Tody is a big help to manage and prioritize what needs to be done around the house. The app makers listen to their users and consistently update their app to make it better and better. It is very adaptable to your needs and lifestyle - you can use it for pretty much any reoccurring life-management task, not just housekeeping. If you are searching through apps trying to find something to help motivate you to clean, Tody is worth spending the money on.Show lessValrogofmorgoth
99% perfect app
I love this app dearly and I make attempts to use it all the time, because the idea is truly genius. I love the status bars for tasks, grouping by areas, ability to customize completion frequency. The only major drawback for me is the lack of notifications for individual tasks. For someone with ADHD like me, seeing a notification like “you have 7 tasks due today” is just so discouraging. I end up never opening the app to look at specific tasks that are due because it’s an extra step and I already start feeling like there are several things I need to get done. Tasks pile up, I see a red bar, I stress out, eventually stop using the app all together… It would be so helpful to have an option to turn on (or off) notifications for each task individually, what time of the day I want to receive it (e.g., do the dishes at 7pm, wipe the stove at 8am), and whether I want it on the day it’s due and/or maybe a few days before. That way I’d know when I need to get things done without feeling overwhelmed. For other tasks that take longer periods of time to become relevant again, I can open the app and actually see the status bar when I check off things I got done because of individual notifications. Otherwise, excellent app and I’ll keep making attempts at making it work for me!Show lessAmani555

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! Our team appreciates it. We can understand that the tasks that are due can be overwhelming. We went ahead and added your feature requests to our list and we hope to have them available in our future releases. If you have other concerns or issues, please do not hesitate to bring them to our attention and we would be happy to assist you.This has honestly been life changing for me.
I have struggled for pretty much all of my adult life with cleaning and maintaining a house. I would always let things overwhelm me because I couldn’t keep track of what needed doing when, so I would constantly be thinking I needed to do EVERYTHING right now. I would get overwhelmed, defeated, and then lose all motivation. This app has honestly changed my life. It helps me compartmentalize what needs to be done and when, and not allow myself to stress out over the overwhelming task of keeping a whole house clean 24/7. It lets me just think about today. Once I got caught up on everything and now it’s all on a schedule each task seems easy and small because nothing builds up. I honestly love this app and it has improved my life in a way I never thought an app could.
Also, I tried a few other similar apps and found this one to be the most user friendly. 10 out of 10 would recommend.Show lessemily wants her radar back

I love this app and have been using it for over a year. Unfortunately even though my husband and I are both synced it usually only stays synced immediately. Then somehow it separates. There have been many instances of me thinking he's been ignoring a task that's way overdue and end up doing it myself to find out that he already did it. Then upon opening the apps next to each other his will show I'm behind on everything and vice verca. And there's no easy way to re-sync without losing all the previous data. Would love if this feature worked!
Smaller issue if I keep the app open then switch to another screen to another app and then come back the app locks up and freezes with a loading icon. I then have to force close and re-open the app.Show lessDanifacetastic
Helps me focus
This app is wonderful. I’m generally a pretty tidy person but struggled with how to maintain our household once I had three young kids close together. I’ll admit sometimes the app overwhelms me because it bosses me around. But it’s a good kind of bossing and three main benefits have come of using this app: 1. It has helped me not get so hung-up on certain tasks. It has helped me to just get it done with the tasks I tend to put off. Cleaning the fish tank used to be something I’d let slip because it’s a pain. But in reality it only takes like 10 minutes and I’d rather just get it done than have the app turn red on the task! Haha! 2. It has helped me to only focus on what’s right in front of me. In the past I’d look at all the things not getting done and berate myself about them but those days are gone because I know that messy room or that cluttered closet will have its designated time, and if that time isn’t today, I can let it go! 3. I just love having everything in the same place. I put my freelance work, bills, garden tasks, daily Bible reading, cooking, hobbies, random reminders like signing kids up for swimming lessons, even taking showers (yes, apparently I need an app for that, haha), in this app. I love that it helps me prioritize all types of things - not just cleaning! This app is a total game-changer and worth every penny!Show lessChribistibi
