The hardest part of cleaning is not knowing how. It's starting. Somehow tells you one thing to do. When that's done, it tells you the next one. You never have to look at a messy room and decide where to begin. HOW IT WORKS Pick a room. Somehow shows you a single task, with the steps if you want them. Do it, or skip it — no question asked either way. Three things out of seven is three things done. Tell it how long you have and it gives you a list that fits. Ten minutes, thirty, or whatever's due. WHAT IT NEVER DOES No streaks to break. No red badges. Nothing is ever "overdue" — it will tell you a room was last cleaned twelve days ago, because that's information, but it will never tell you that you're behind. Skip anything, any time, one tap, no follow-up question. Come back after three months and it picks up where you left off without a word about the gap. YOUR PHOTOS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE Photos of a room stay inside the app. Not your camera roll, not a server. There is no account and no server at all — Somehow works in airplane mode, because everything it does happens on your phone. FREE All of it. No subscription, no trial, nothing locked. There's a tip jar in Settings if you want it, and it buys nothing.
