You set the chore chart on Sunday. By Wednesday no one's looking at it. By Saturday the kitchen's a war zone again — and somehow you're the only one cleaning it. Tidywell is the household chores app for real homes. ADHD brains. Tired parents. Flatmates who forget whose turn it is. Instead of red warnings, guilt-trip notifications, and 50-task lists: a 2.5D dollhouse that glows sage green when it's clean — plus a focus mode for the days your brain doesn't work. WATCH YOUR HOME GLOW Colour-coded by cleanliness. Sage green when it sparkles. Warm amber when due. Never red, never angry. ADHD-FRIENDLY CLEANING Traditional chore lists are paralysing. Tidywell's answer: • Focus Mode — one task at a time, pie timer, no list • Energy check-in (low / medium / high) — filters tasks to match • Spin the wheel — let it choose where to start • AI task breakdown — any chore split into tiny micro-steps • Low Spoons mode — auto-hides the hard stuff • "Good enough" completion — done imperfectly beats not done A FAIR CHORE CHART FOR FAMILIES & KIDS Kids forget. Parents end up doing it all. Tidywell's answer: • Kids Mode — playful UI, big tap targets, age-appropriate achievements • Dependent profiles — add a child without giving them a phone • Task approval with before/after photos • 1.5x coin rewards and kid-only furniture • "We Moved House" reset — keep streaks, coins, achievements A CHORE CHART FOR FLATMATES & ROOMMATES "I always do the bins. They never do the bathroom." Nobody has the data. Tidywell's answer: effort-weighted Fair Share — 5 deep cleans count more than 10 quick wipes. Household leaderboard. Room-neglect radar. End the "who does more" fight with numbers. WEEKLY MEAL PLAN + SMART SHOPPING LIST (PREMIUM) Plan the week's meals across four slots a day. Add ingredients and they auto-fill your shared shopping list — duplicates merge by quantity (2 onions + 1 onion = 3). Save go-to meals as templates and reuse with a tap. Drag any meal to another day. The whole household syncs in real time. SMART SCHEDULE (PREMIUM) Auto-builds your week from what's due, your time budget, and your preferred days. Pauses during vacation. Detects dinner parties or guests in your calendar and offers a 3–7 day prep checklist — calendar data never leaves your phone. DECORATE YOUR DREAM HOME Earn coins from tasks, streaks, achievements. Spend them on 100+ furniture pieces — sage sofas, velvet loveseats, brass lamps, wallpapers, rugs. New seasonal drops monthly. LIVE HOUSEHOLD SPRINTS Kahoot-style live cleaning sessions — 15, 25 or 45 minutes. Invite by code. Tasks tick off in real time. Body doubling for ADHD, bonding for everyone else. CHALLENGES & GAMIFICATION 16 checklist challenges with 286 sub-tasks — Spring Deep Clean, Move-In Week, Holiday Reset. 17 achievements. Unlimited streak freezes. Wrapped-style monthly recap.

This app makes it super easy and fun! **Developer response:** I'm really glad it hit home and thank you for your kind words. Happy it is helping you and anyone else other than our own household! If there is anything at all please don't hesitate to reach out! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-07-20* This app has changed how I approach housework! I’m able to clearly see all of the tasks for each room and can plan my time around what needs the most attention. I love how every task is tracked for frequency giving the overall percentage of cleanliness. My son loves looking at the chores too. I really wish there was a widget option so that I could add my daily list directly to my Home Screen. Really well thought out and executed. **Developer response:** Thank you SO much for the kidn words and I'm really glad. I will be working on the widget ASAP and thank you for that suggestion, I don't use widgets much myself and therefore did not plan for it but this is coming. Thanks again. ### 4/5 — First app I’ve seen that actually seems to be built for a brain like mine *2026-05-24* So far, I’m finding this easier to use and keep up with than other apps that say they’re supposed to be great for ADHD. There are some bugs, and I think some features need to be added but so far I love this app. Some features I would love to have include: - scheduling tasks to pop up bi-weekly or every other day without pinning them - more dynamic options for prioritizing certain tasks that day (like a build your day option) - adjustable amounts of time budgets for individual days (ex: I’m off work Monday so have a higher budget for housework than I normally do) - a place for household tasks that don’t fit into a “room” and are more individualized, like reviewing finances, paying property taxes, writing thank you cards, things like that. - a place for tasks that are more “long-term project” than quick task. Like opening and storing wedding gifts or cleaning a closet out Hope to see more from the developer in the near future!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this, genuinely one of the most useful reviews I've had. Really glad it's clicking for you where other ADHD apps haven't. Good news on a couple of these. Adjustable budgets per day already exist > head to Profile > Cleaning Preferences and you can set a different time budget for each weekday, so a higher one on your day off works exactly like you described. I've had a look and every-other-day / bi-weekly scheduling without pinning will come in the next update, the groundwork is already there so it won't be long. The other three are firmly on my list. A spot for household tasks that don't belong to a room (finances, thank-you cards, that kind of thing), a way to build your own day rather than letting the app decide, and proper support for long-term projects you chip away at rather than quick tasks. If you hit any of those bugs and have a second to tell me what happened, I'd love to squash them. Feel free to email me at tidywell-app@zohomail.eu Thank you again for taking the time, this kind of feedback is what shapes where the app goes. ## Frequently asked questions about Tidywell ### What makes Tidywell ADHD-friendly?
