Your best ideas don't wait. Neither should you. Thought Sweep is your digital memory — a place where every thought, idea, to-do, and reminder lives so nothing important gets lost. Most apps make you organize everything immediately. Thought Sweep works the way your brain does. Capture it now. Sort it when you're ready. CAPTURE ANYTHING IN SECONDS Type it, speak it, or dump a dozen thoughts at once with Thought Dump. Hold the mic and just talk — Thought Sweep listens, transcribes, and even picks up on the category, reminder, or to-do you meant, automatically. No folders to navigate, no system to figure out. Just get it out of your head and move on with your day. SORT IT YOUR WAY When you're ready, sweep through your unsorted thoughts like a deck of cards.

YOUR PERSONAL CATEGORY SYSTEM Build categories that actually reflect your life — Mindset, Health, Business Ideas, Restaurants, People you know. Your thoughts organize into a system that makes sense to you, not a template someone else built. TINDER FOR YOUR THOUGHTS Swipe through everything you've captured. Rediscover ideas you forgot. Prioritize thoughts that still matter. Delete what doesn't. It's the most satisfying way to engage with your own mind. YOUR MOST IMPORTANT THOUGHTS, FRONT AND CENTER Thought Sweep quietly surfaces what's worth acting on and resurfaces older ideas at the right moment — so nothing important gets buried and forgotten in the pile. TO-DOS WITH PRIORITY TIERS Stop letting important tasks get buried. Mark anything as High, Low, or Parked. Your to-do list stays organized without the overwhelm.

About

Chore Chart for Roommates

Features
Read full description

The chore chart that ends the whose-turn-is-it argument. Chore Chart splits housework across your family, flatmates, or partner, rotates the rota automatically, and keeps score — so the person who actually scrubbed the bathroom gets the credit. Most chore apps stop at a checklist. Chore Chart is built around fairness: every chore carries points, a scheduling engine hands the heavy jobs around evenly, and over a full rotation everyone ends up carrying exactly the same load — not roughly the same, exactly. A fairness meter shows how evenly this week's work actually landed. WHAT YOU GET • A rota that runs itself — mark a chore as rotating and it moves to the next housemate each day or week, no redrawing the chart • Points that settle arguments: "you never do anything" meets a bar chart of who did what since Monday • A live fairness meter — see at a glance whether this week's split is 94% even or one person is carrying the house • A leaderboard with all-time scores, trophies, and a feed of every chore ticked and by whom • Daily and weekly chores that uncheck themselves at midnight or on Monday — nothing to reset, ever • Starter sets that put a whole household routine on the board in under a minute PERFECT FOR • Flatshares tired of the passive-aggressive kitchen note • Couples splitting housework without keeping mental score • Families getting kids to own their jobs through points and trophies • Anyone running a weekly cleaning routine who wants receipts, not memory WHY NOT JUST A SHARED TO-DO LIST? A list tells you what needs doing. It doesn't decide who, doesn't rotate the jobs nobody wants, and doesn't remember that you did the dishes nine days straight. Chore Chart does all three — assignment, rotation, and a scoreboard — on one screen you check in seconds. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything stays on this iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking. Your household's data is nobody's business but the house's. FULL ACCESS Chore Chart Full Access unlocks unlimited housemates and chores, automatic rotation, complete starter sets, and the daily reminder. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Put the chart up tonight — tomorrow's dishes already have a name on them. The weekly and yearly plans are auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. The lifetime plan is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
