PASTE A LINK. GET A BLUEPRINT. Drop any YouTube video or how-to article. In 30 seconds, Stepwise's AI extracts every step, tool, material, and time estimate into a structured project you can actually follow. ◆ STEP-BY-STEP PLANS Every video becomes a clear, numbered sequence of steps with descriptions, tips, and time estimates. No more rewinding. No more guessing what comes next. ◆ AI CHAT ASSISTANT Stuck on a step? Ask the built-in AI anything about your project. It knows every detail from your video — tools needed, measurements, alternative approaches, and troubleshooting tips.

Chorefriend is the #1 House Cleaning App that works like a Tamagotchi. Your painted little home gets messier the longer you leave it — and tidies up alongside you when you finally clean. Built for ADHD brains. Cleaning is easier with a friend. Chorefriend is the little companion who plans your chores with you, talks you through every step, and celebrates when the room is done. No long lists. No guilt. Just one step, then the next, with someone in the room. Tell Chorefriend what needs cleaning — a sink, a corner, the whole kitchen — and they figure out the plan in seconds. Tap start, and they walk you through it one step at a time, with a warm voice in your ear (or just music, if you'd rather work quietly). When you finish, snap an "after" photo and watch them celebrate. For the chores you keep putting off. WHAT'S INSIDE • AI cleaning plans — type what you want to clean, get the steps instantly • A warm voice that walks you through every step (or pure ambient sound) • One step at a time — no overwhelming checklist • Before & after photos — see what you actually did • Weekly streak — show up once a week, count the wins • Five painted dollhouse states that track how long since you last cleaned • Plans you can save by room and reuse forever WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT Cleaning podcasts, body-doubling, "clean with me" videos — people already use these to get through chores. Chorefriend is that, but for your actual cleaning, in your actual room, with steps tailored to what you typed. If you have ADHD, executive dysfunction, or just hate starting — this is the company you've been wishing for. SUBSCRIPTION Chorefriend Pro unlocks unlimited AI cleaning plans and the warm voice companion. Weekly, monthly, and yearly options. Cancel anytime in Settings.
