BinBuddy handles weekly, alternating, monthly, seasonal, specific-date, and one-time schedules across multiple properties.

Record who handled a task, add notes, snooze, undo, mark skipped or missed, and review an accessible calendar and local history.

Meet Buddy, a friendly wheeled-bin helper who celebrates the routines that keep collection day running smoothly. Earn local Buddy Points, grow through levels, unlock practical achievements, and build a return rhythm—with no penalties, paid points, public rankings, or social pressure. Core reminders stay useful for free with one property, two services, standard weekly schedules, the dashboard, calendar, task actions, basic history, and readable JSON export. BinBuddy Plus is an optional one-time lifetime purchase that unlocks unlimited properties and services, advanced and seasonal recurrence, all iPhone widgets, household responsibilities, holiday adjustments, restore and ICS tools, advanced history and achievements, Buddy outfits, color themes, and alternate app icons. There is no subscription. Your personal schedule data stays on your device. There is no BinBuddy account, advertising, tracking, or app backend. Apple processes Plus purchases and restoration through the App Store.
