Cleanly answers one question every morning: "I have 20 minutes — what should I clean?" You list what you clean once — the chore, how long it takes, and how often it needs doing (bathroom 30 min every 3 days, windows 60 min monthly, fridge 20 min every two weeks). From then on Cleanly tracks how dirty each thing is getting and builds today's list around the time you actually have. Instead of losing a Saturday to a big clean: 20–30 minutes a day, and the house never sinks. A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR MINUTES Other cleaning apps sort by what is dirtiest and hand you everything at once. Cleanly sorts by your time budget — a weekday amount and a weekend amount — so today's list is always something you can actually finish. A PLAN THAT IS POSSIBLE Before your first plan, Cleanly adds up what your home really needs per day and tells you the truth: "this needs 32 minutes a day and you have 20 — shall we stretch a few intervals?" No other planner does this, and it is the reason people quit the others in week three with a gleaming kitchen and permanently red windows. SET UP IN FIVE MINUTES Pick your rooms from ready-made types — kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, hallway, office, kids' room, balcony, garage, laundry and more — and Cleanly fills them with sensible chores, intervals and durations. Keep what fits, drop what doesn't, add your own with any emoji you like. EVERY CHORE ON YOUR SCHEDULE Repeat every N days, every week on a chosen day, or monthly on a chosen date. Pause anything seasonal. Going away? Mark the days and nothing gets "dirty" while you're gone. BIG JOBS, WITHOUT THE DREAD Ready-made plans for spring cleaning, guests arriving, the holidays and guest turnover — either as a do-it-now checklist or spread over several days. Write your own plans too, and run them again whenever you need. A TIMER THAT LEARNS Clean with the built-in timer and Cleanly learns how long things really take you, so tomorrow's plan gets more honest every week. SEE THAT IT IS WORKING A home health score, a gentle streak, weekly review and simple charts — never a guilt trip, just an honest picture. 100% OFFLINE & PRIVATE No account, no server, no internet needed.
