Briskly
Read full descriptionHide full description
Let's be honest. You don't want to clean. Nobody does. But your sister's calling and she'll be there in an hour, and your kitchen looks like a crime scene from a cooking show nobody watched. Briskly doesn't judge. It just points your camera at the mess, figures out what needs doing, gives you a timed task list, and gets you through it before your excuses kick in. Your phone reads the room first. On iOS 27, a scan it cannot read can go to Apple's Private Cloud Compute if you leave that on in Photo Preferences. The photo is not sent to Briskly, and Apple does not keep it. On iOS 26, or with that switch off, the scan stays on your phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan your room with your camera. Your phone reads the photo first. On iOS 27, a photo it cannot read can be sent to Apple to answer it. 2. Get a personalised task list with time estimates. 3. Hit start. A countdown keeps you honest. 4. Take before and after photos, for the dopamine and the proof. 5. Done. 20 minutes. You're as surprised as we are. FEATURES FOR THE CHRONICALLY RELUCTANT • Room scanner. Point, scan, get your task list. • Your phone reads the photo first. On iOS 27, a room it cannot read can go to Apple's Private Cloud Compute. Not to Briskly. Turn it off in Photo Preferences. . • Timed micro-tasks. Each one is short enough to survive. . • Before and after photos. • Swipe to compare proof that you are, in fact, capable. They stay on your device. • Scheduled cleans with notifications. • Save a clean as a routine, pick a time, get nudged when it's due. • Lock Screen Live Activity. Your phone becomes a friendly drill sergeant. • Apple Watch support. Skip, pause and survive from your wrist. • Spotify and Apple Music. A fresh track for every task, because silence is for quitters. • Streaks and levels. Small wins, celebrated. No guilt-tripping. • Proof dashboard. Every room, every habit, every clean you've ever done. PRIVACY, SAID PLAINLY No account. No login. Briskly does not receive your photos, and we do not train on them. Your phone reads the scan first. On iOS 27, if Photo Preferences leaves Apple's cloud on, a scan the phone cannot read is sent to Apple's Private Cloud Compute. Apple does not keep the photo. Turn the switch off, or stay on iOS 26, and every scan stays on the phone. We don't want your mess. We just want it gone. Briskly is free to start, and the scan, the timer, and your streak stay free forever. Briskly. Done before you know it. Now go clean something. SUBSCRIPTION Briskly Pro unlocks Task Tracks (Spotify and Apple Music), unlimited before and after photos, your full history, the Rooms and Habits insight tabs, and unlimited saved cleans and schedules. . Weekly: £0.99 per week . Monthly: £2.99 per month . Annual: £19.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial Prices may vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Can't start cleaning? Nudge gives you one tiny task, a short timer and a clear place to stop. Made for ADHD brains and days when the mess feels too big. Start with the energy you have. Break chores into small steps, follow a flexible cleaning routine, and make one corner of home feel better. No perfect schedule required. TRY ONE SMALL STEP Your first tiny task comes before choosing a subscription. Try a step, then decide whether Nudge fits your day. GET UNSTUCK • One Tiny Thing: get one concrete move instead of a whole room to clean. • Start Rescue: follow one physical step when starting feels hard. • Panic Clean: focus on what makes the biggest visible difference before guests arrive. • Scan My Mess: turn a room photo into a focused starting point. • Plan My Day: fit cleaning to your available time and energy. MAKE CHORES FIT REAL LIFE • Follow ready-made routines with one step and one timer at a time. • Skip for today, snooze for later, or park a task on your later list. • Repeat tasks after you finish them, on selected days, every few weeks or monthly. • Add a "then, later" reminder, such as hanging up the laundry after a wash. • Declutter one item at a time: keep, donate, sell, toss, or decide later. HAVE SOME QUIET COMPANY Clean with Mochi, your on-screen cat companion. This is quiet virtual company: no camera, chat or live partner. Voice guidance can talk you through cleaning while your phone stays in your pocket, and widgets and Live Activities keep your timer close. SEE WHAT YOU DID Every finished step drops a star into Mochi's jar, and Mochi's little home inside it lights up room by room. Stars never disappear, even after a break. Look back at your recent tasks in What I Did. Set gentle reminders, pause for today, or take a break when you need one. Start with one tiny thing. The whole house can wait.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Briskly at none against Nudge's shown. Nudge's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
