Hearthly gives you your next cleaning task and turns each finished chore into growth for your garden. YOUR CLEANING LIST IS ALREADY BUILT Start with 104 preset tasks for the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and more. A few questions about your home shape your plan. You don't have to enter every chore or build a cleaning schedule from scratch. Follow ready-made morning, midday, and evening routines, with one clear task at a time. FINISH A TASK. WATER YOUR GARDEN. Tap Done after a chore to give every planted crop one growth point. Watch your plants develop, harvest them when they're ready, and plant something new. Build your streak to unlock herbs, vegetables, trees, and more garden plots. MAKE THE PLAN YOURS Add your own cleaning tasks or edit the existing list. Adjust rooms, frequency, estimated time, and instructions to fit your home. Turn routine steps on or off and reorder them to match your day. KNOW WHAT'S STOCKED Track cleaning supplies and update quantities as you use them. See low-stock items in your shopping list, so you can restock before your next cleaning session. PREPARE FOR THE WEEK AHEAD Set a weekly supply reminder to review what you'll need for the coming week's cleaning. Choose a reminder day that works for you. SHOP WITH KIDS AND PETS IN MIND See Child Safe and Pet Safe labels on supply cards, then follow shopping links to find products. Suggested supplies are also shown alongside the tasks that use them. START FREE, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Your solo routines, tasks, and progress are stored on your device and work offline. Use a home screen widget to keep today's progress in view. Choose gentle reminders and a cleaning intensity that suits your home and energy. OPTIONAL HEARTHLY FAMILY SUBSCRIPTION Invite your household to share tasks and a shopping list, with updates across devices. Household sharing requires an account and internet connection. Hearthly works on its own without sharing. Privacy Policy: https://hearthlyapp.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
SharedChores

Stop carrying the whole reminder list. SharedChores turns “Can you do that?” into “Already done.” Share the everyday stuff, see who’s got what, and watch the list get lighter—without turning chores into an allowance or a public contest. Add a chore in seconds. Give it to someone, or leave it up for grabs. Everyone can claim what they can handle, mark it done, and move the group one step closer. Busy day? Add one optional completion photo while marking a chore done so your private group can see what was finished. Photos are never public and disappear automatically after 90 days. Choose 1–5 Chore Points when you make a chore, then watch those little high-fives add up for the person who handled it. Lifetime totals stay inside your group. If a child’s chore needs an adult check, its points appear only after approval. Keep a gentle rhythm without the guilt. Your private Together streak celebrates consecutive days when anyone in the group finishes something, and a timed chore can carry one optional heads-up an hour before it is due—never a string of repeat pings. Split tonight’s reset with your partner. Make helping out clearer for the kids. Keep a bigger crew moving when there are more hands in the mix. Your group simply grows as you add people. Open Chore Rewards when you want extra motivation. Choose a challenge that fits real life—tonight, this weekend, this month, the whole year, your own dates, or no deadline—and add an optional reward for everyone to enjoy. Start with an editable idea like Win the Week, make your own, or keep using everyday chores without a challenge.

Both plans renew automatically unless canceled. There is no free plan or free trial. Start with a few thoughtful choices about what would make everyday life easier. Build a first plan, make your group, and pick your subscription. Skip any preference question. If you choose to share your answers, the app’s creator can use those choices to make SharedChores better; sharing is optional. Private by design. No ads. No public profiles. No contact uploads. No public chore pages. Get it done together. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
