  • Best app for this purpose!!

    I have been looking and trying many cleaning apps, mostly free ones and a couple of paid ones as well. This one is hands down the best I have seen! It’s super easy to use. It comes with standard cleaning options for daily cleaning and special options for those things you do only once a month or less. I love that it can be customized as well. It shows you tasks by room or by due date and when they are due, you check them off the list and the counter resets until the next time this needs to be done!
    This app gave me cleaning options that I didn’t really think about much, like the window and door in our entrance 🤷‍♀️

    This is the one that works for me, best money I have spend on an app in a long time! 🤘🏻

  • This isn't an app, it's a miracle!

    I bought this thinking it would help me keep track of cleaning which it does. I also use it to keep track of all kinds of other stuff that need to be done on a routine or semi routine basis. It's amazing. Plus you can list anything you want, so under living room I have things like clean fireplace and vacuum under couches that need to be done but not on a regular basis. I no longer feel reactive and that I am actually taking care of everything in my home. Do you forget to change the filter in your furnace? You can schedule it and it can add it to your calendar on your phone. Forget to get your oil changed in the car, rotate tires? Can't remember the last time you gave the dog a bath? Add your yard, garage, basement, attic... use it to help keep track of pre-winter and pre-summer maintenance for your home like disconnecting garden hoses before the winter. Power washing the house, clean out leaves from gutters... seriously this app is amazing!

  • Simple and Effective

    I am surprised how helpful this actually is. The app is simple, always works and has really helped me manage my household tasks. I don't use it for anything that I do every day, but everything from every 3 days (vacuum living room) to once a year (prune trees) is in there, keeping track for me. Taking care of a house with little ones can be overwhelming, but I open up the app to the "tasks due by area" section, choose a task that my children can do themselves and work on a different one myself. I find I am MORE on top of cleaning, but feel like I'm working LESS. It seems like something I should be able to just do on my own without an app, but it is truly significantly easier with it. Well worth the money. The only thing that bugs me is I can't figure out how to pronounce "Tody" so it bothers me to see the name. Too-dee?

  • Get it!

    I rarely bother rating apps, but I just to review Tody. I have always made lists for chores and tried to check off each week, but it was hard to keep everything done, and I often forgot little things like baseboards or dusting my fan blades. With this I can put every single little thing, sort them into spaces, and set the reminders for when they need to be done, rather than hoping that I remember this or that.

    I like that I can set frequency, the option of looking what needs to be done today only, and sorting chores into rooms. I especially love the color coding. As someone who works through things visually, it really motivates me daily. Seeing a bunch of red really gets me to hurry up and sweep already. I've gotten three people to buy it after showing them!

  • Most useful app I've found yet

    I can't say enough about this app. I used to have house cleaners come every two weeks. I let them go a couple of months ago In order to save money. I work full time, am chauffeur to two kids...... I was really stressed about adding new responsibilities to my already full plate. I tried a couple of apps to help me organize my cleaning tasks before finding this one. This app is hands down the best. It is more intuitive than the others. It's so easy to set up areas and tasks, and how frequently you want to clean them. I love the "to do list" - I can easily see what needs to be done. Rather cleaning my whole house in one day like the cleaning service did, this app allows me to spread all of the tasks out over a two week period so that I do a little at a time and my house is always clean. I can't say enough about this app. Get it now!!! You won't be sorry!!!

  • Very useful app

    I really love this app. It's helping me keep track of my tasks better than any calendar app or any other GTD app out there. I love that it calculates due dates according to how long ago you actually did something, as opposed to recurring dates on a calendar. And I've suffered no technical issues while using this app on my iPhone 6s.

    I do have a couple of nitpicky little wishes for improvement:

    I wish notes would appear on the screen as soon as I open a particular task, as opposed to me having to open a separate notes view. Right now, some of the space is taken up by a "history" graph reflecting my task completion stats. But for any given task, I care much more about seeing my notes/instructions than I do about seeing my stats.

    Also, when listing tasks by area, it would be nice if the area names (i.e., section headings) were more visually distinct from the tasks themselves. I use the teal background (if that makes a difference) and I can see that some effort has been made to make the section headings more distinct. (They're indented slightly and bolded and the background color is slightly darker.) But the differences are so subtle they're almost nonexistent. I think darkening the background of the headers a bit more would be helpful.

    Other than those two nitpicky things, I have no complaints.

  • Worth The Money

    There are three modes of cleaning. Relaxed, Standard, and Proactive. By choosing your style of cleaning it will automatically suggest the amount of days, weeks, or months for the preprogrammed cleaning guide. This is really amazing especially since it suggests things that someone might forget like washing your outside Windows or wiping down your inside doors. I highly suggest you just load everything in that is listed for each area unless of course you don't own it (e.g. I don't have glass shower doors in our upstairs bathroom so I didn't add in that task). It's well worth the money and the capsule colors keep you in line with what area needs the most attention. I personally check each zone every day to see what's in the red (meaning what's either due or behind). Also I love how it keeps track of how overdue I am on a task. For instance I actually made a zone called cat, lol. In the zone I put throughly wash cat box every two months, empty poo every day, and change the pellets monthly (we use the Breeze system), as well as change pee pad every ten days. It is amazing how many times I get busy and time slips by and it will read throughly clean litter box as all red and I will think to myself man two months went by already? My only suggestion for using this app is not to wait for the main area to be red. Check the areas daily. There is notifications that you can set to remind you when tasks are due or overdue so you can set those up as well. I love this app.

  • Makes a game of cleaning

    I absolutely hate house cleaning. I would wait until company was coming and then spend one or two days doing a whole-house cleaning and be exhausted. No wonder I hated it. Now I do one or more small tasks every day and feel good about how my house looks. Tody allows me to break down cleaning into small increments that I have set and rewards me by changing the color of the task from red (overdue)or yellow (must be done soon) to green when I mark it done. It automatically resets the next due date for the number of days, weeks, months that I have set. It is like playing a game with yourself, the object is to have all tasks I have set for myself in the green or yellow range. I also add non-cleaning tasks that I need to do once a month or once a year.

  • No more lists

    I absolutely love this app. I am a list maker. But we all know that it takes time to write lists. Everyday I would write my cleaning list taking time away from actually doing the cleaning. With this app you make your list once and it's done. The app gives you the ability to change the frequency times as needed. So if you set Windows tasks for once a week then realize it really only need to be done every two weeks you can change it. It also motivates me to do more.. I'll see that I have one more chore in a room but it's not due til tomorrow.. I'll do that chore just to get all the bars down to nothing! :D I do wish there was options to add actual dates for some things. Thanks TODY for helping me stay on track and saving me from using lots of paper!

  • Worth the $$

    This app is perfect for managing household chores. Love it! I like how it tracks the last time the chore was done, and you can see the history of when it's been completed, and how frequently you really do the chore. There is nothing wrong with the scheduling/calendar feature as reported by another user - once the task has been created, enter the date when you last did it, then click "edit/view previous actions" at the bottom of the task to delete the dates that were estimated by the app. This is a little klunky and you have to look hard to find it, but it works!

    I also like how it gives you more of a window of time in which the chore should be completed, and the green/yellow/red colors really help prioritize and motivate you to get those chores done.

    Excellent work, devs.
