Trash Day Cat is a reminder app where the cat who lives in your room tells you, "Tomorrow is Trash day." It's made for anyone who lives alone and keeps missing trash, recycling or bin day. REMINDERS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THE MORNING OF Set pickup days for Trash, Recycling, Yard waste, Food waste and Glass: weekly, on the 2nd and 4th weekday of the month, or every other week. You'll get a notification at the times you choose. Touch and hold the notification and tap "Took it out" without opening the app. Not putting it out this time? Choose "Skip this time". MISS A DAY, AND BAGS PILE UP BY THE DOOR If you forget, a trash bag appears by the door of your room. Take it out on the next trash day and it's gone. No scolding, just a bag you can see. CHORES AND A SHOPPING LIST Choose only the chores you want reminders for: washing the sheets, cleaning the drains, the AC filter, tidying the fridge, and checking rent and bills. Missed chores stay on the list so you can still do them late. On the shopping list, tap "Got it" and the item is checked off. EARN STARS AND DECORATE YOUR ROOM Take out the trash or finish a chore to earn stars, then trade them for wallpaper, curtains, rugs, lights and plants. Tap your cat and it wiggles its ears or perks up happily. WIDGETS Put your cat and your next task on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Home Screen widgets switch between To-Do and Shopping with tabs, and you can tap "Took it out" or "Got it" right on the widget. IN-APP PURCHASES Cat coats (Silver Tabby, Siamese and Gray) and the Cozy Winter Room furniture set are one-time purchases. There are no ads. YOUR DATA Your schedules and records stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. No account needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Yokohama Garbage Sorting App at none against Trash Day Cat's 4. Yokohama Garbage Sorting App also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Trash Day Cat's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
