About

CleaningRoutine

Read full description

Cleaning Routine keeps track of what needs cleaning around your home, so you do not have to hold it all in your head. Open the app and today's jobs are already there. Every task comes back around from the day you actually did it, not the day it was supposed to be done. Clean the shower on Thursday and the next one is the following Thursday. Your schedule follows your life rather than the other way around. **ANSWER THE QUESTIONS YOU ACTUALLY ASK** · What needs cleaning today? · When did I last change the sheets? · Is anything overdue? · I've got ten minutes - what should I do? · How often do I actually clean the bathroom? · What have I already done today? **THE TODAY SCREEN IS THE APP** Overdue, due today, and an optional look at the next few days. Every job has a large tick control on the row itself, so you never open a task just to mark it done. Tick it, watch it schedule itself and disappear, with a few seconds to undo if your thumb was faster than your brain. **SET IT UP IN SECONDS** Choose a room and the app suggests the jobs people actually do in it, already carrying a sensible frequency and a rough duration. Wipe benches, clean the stovetop, change the sheets, clear the gutters. Over 400 cleaning tasks across 18 kinds of room - kitchen through to the car, the pets, the balcony, the home gym and the storage cupboard - all searchable, so you tap rather than type. Or start with a ready-made home: six starter setups from a one-bedroom flat to a family house, each creating common rooms and a starting schedule staggered so you do not open the app to twenty things all due at once. **HOW OFTEN, YOUR WAY** Daily, every few days, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, every three months, every six months, yearly, or a one-off job that is simply done. Give a task a rough duration if you like, or leave it and the app will estimate from how often it recurs. **ROOMS AND ROUTINES** Rooms for the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, laundry, garage, garden and anywhere else, each with its own icon and colour. Routines for the sets of jobs you do together - a morning reset, the weekly clean, the half hour before guests arrive - run one at a time with Done and Skip. **LIFE HAPPENS** Skip a job this time, do it early, push it back to tomorrow or next week, pick a different date, or pause it entirely while the room is being painted. Nothing is ever stuck. **A RECORD OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE** Every completion is kept: by day, by room, and by task, with each task's own average frequency worked out from what you actually did. Delete a task and the record of having cleaned it stays. **REMINDERS THAT DO NOT NAG** One local notification a day at a time you choose, and only when something is actually due. Overdue work is mentioned once, not every morning for a fortnight. Off by default, and completely optional. **LIGHT AND DARK, AND NO GUILT** Designed to be calm in both light and dark mode, with large touch targets and full screen-reader labels. And the language stays civil: overdue jobs are "3 tasks are waiting for you", never a telling-off. A house that got away from you for a week is not a failure, and the app does not treat it as one. **PRIVATE BY DESIGN** · No account required · No sign-in, no server, no cloud · Works completely offline · Your schedule never leaves your device **FREE VERSION** Genuinely useful on its own: unlimited rooms and unlimited cleaning tasks, every standard frequency, the Today screen, reminders, the whole task library, starter setups, three ready-made routines plus two of your own, and the last 30 days of history. The free version shows a small banner on secondary screens - never on the Today screen, and never while you are ticking jobs off. **PRO. ONE PAYMENT, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION** Removes all advertising. Adds Quick Clean, statistics, your complete history, advanced scheduling, unlimited routines with more templates, and accent colours. Every premium feature added in future.
