Clean Your Stuff, Mate!
Read full descriptionHide full description
Who took the bins out last? Who paid for the toilet paper? Clean Your Stuff, Mate keeps your shared home running: chores that rotate by themselves, costs that split themselves, no arguing at the kitchen table. No more sticky notes, forgotten cleaning turns, or the quiet resentment when the same person empties the dishwasher again. A CLEANING SCHEDULE THAT RUNS ITSELF Set up your chores once and the app rotates them through everyone automatically. Every task gets its own rhythm: weekly, every two weeks, monthly. The reminder arrives in good time before your turn, and you decide how many days ahead and at what time of day. No spreadsheet, nothing forgotten. FAIRNESS THROUGH VISIBILITY, NOT PRESSURE Bins out, dishwasher emptied, plants watered: anyone can tap "done" at any time, with no assignments and no policing. The stats then show, plainly, who has taken on how much. That settles most arguments before they start. SNAP THE RECEIPT, THE AI TYPES IT UP Photograph the receipt and the AI reads out the individual line items for you. All you set is who paid and who it is shared with. The app keeps the balances, and one tap settles up. No typing, no pile of receipts in the kitchen drawer. SHARED SHOPPING LIST Add items, tick them off while you shop. Enter the price as you tick, and it turns into an expense in the cost split automatically. Shopping and settling up become the same action. MEAL PLANNING Plan together who cooks what and when, and collect the ingredients for each dish. If you like, the AI suggests the ingredients you need. PROJECTS WITH SUBTASKS Moving house, redecorating, taking on the garden? Create subtasks, assign them to members, set deadlines, and nudge your flatmates by push notification when something is left hanging. The AI can suggest sensible next steps whenever you want them. BUILT AROUND YOUR ROUTINE • You choose which one to four features sit in your tab bar. Everything else stays one tap away. • Works offline too: your entries are saved and synced as soon as you are back online. • Two of you, a family, or a big household: create a group, share the code, get going. You can belong to several groups at once. • Try before you commit: demo mode runs without an account. WHAT DOES IT COST? [PLEASE ADJUST] The cleaning schedule, task logging, shopping list and cost splitting are free for good. The AI receipt scanning, ingredient suggestions and project suggestions come with Pro, monthly or yearly, cancel any time. PRIVACY Your data belongs to you. Sign in with email or Google, export your data or delete your account at any time, right inside the app. Receipt photos are used only to read the line items and never for training AI models. Create a group, send the code to your flatmates, get going. You will be set up in under two minutes.
