Mess Map turns photos of your room into a personalized cleaning plan, then walks you through one manageable task at a time. A PLAN FOR YOUR ACTUAL ROOM Take up to four room photos. Mess Map identifies what needs attention and creates specific steps, like taking the bowl on your desk to the kitchen. Photo close-ups help you see which item a task refers to. ONE STEP AT A TIME Focus on the task in front of you. Need a smaller starting point? Break it into smaller steps. Mark tasks done as you go, and pause when you need a break. TURN CLEANING INTO A GAME Quest Mode adds characters, interactive celebrations, XP, and levels to your cleaning routine. Finish tasks and watch your progress grow. BIGGER SPACE? MEET MEGA MESS Use up to 10 photos to capture larger areas and more detailed messes. Start with wide shots, then show the spots that need extra attention. MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOU Choose Productivity Mode with bold Focus or softer Bloom styling, or switch to Quest Mode for a more playful experience.
