TidyCalm

Sometimes it's hard to start cleaning. You stand in the doorway of a messy room, and there is so much to do that your brain shuts down and you do nothing. TidyCalm is the solution to the overwhelm. Take a few photos of the room, and TidyCalm turns the mess into a short, easy-to-do list of cleaning steps. Each task includes a rough time estimate with a timer to keep you on track. The big, impossible job becomes just a handful of small, manageable tasks. How it works 1. Snap a photo. Take a few photos of the mess in a single room with your phone's camera. That's all you need to do. 2. Get your steps. TidyCalm reads the room and gives you a short, specific to-do list, like "clear the dishes from the desk," "wipe down the counter," or "collect and throw away the trash," each with its own time estimate. 3. Clean at your pace. Work through the to-do list one task at a time with a timer to keep you mindful, not frantic. The order does not matter, and you can stop whenever you like. The task suggestions and time estimates adapt to how you actually work, so they get more accurate over time. There are no streaks to keep and nothing to lose if you skip a day. You can clean one corner and be finished until you're ready to do more. Your privacy Photos stay private. They live on your device and are sent for analysis only to generate your list. Photos are never stored on our servers and are never used to train AI models. Location and other details are stripped from each photo before it leaves your phone. You can export or delete everything we hold, whenever you want. TidyCalm asks you to sign in with Apple so your rooms and history follow you between devices. For when starting is the hardest part.

Snap a photo. Get a plan. Tidy in minutes. Tidify uses AI to turn a photo of any messy space into a clear, ordered list of tasks โ each one sized so you always know what to do next and how long it will take. No blank page, no standing in the doorway wondering where to start. HOW IT WORKS 1. Photograph the space you want to tidy. 2. Tidify's AI reads the photo, writes the plan, and shows you an AI preview of the same room, tidied. 3. Work through the list, or mark the whole space done in one tap. ONLY GOT TEN MINUTES? Tell Tidify how long you have โ 10, 20 or 30 minutes โ and it picks the tasks that actually fit the gap. A short window is still progress. DECLUTTER, THEN KEEP IT THAT WAY Every space keeps two lists. Declutter is the one-time push that brings a room down to a calm baseline. Keep tidy is the small daily, weekly and monthly upkeep โ your cleaning schedule, written from what the room actually needs โ that stops it creeping back. ON YOUR WRIST AND ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Tidify comes to Apple Watch: see what's left today at a glance, open the next task and tick it off from your wrist, and it syncs straight back to your iPhone. Keep today's count on your watch face or in the Smart Stack, or just ask Siri, "What's next in Tidify?" On iPhone, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what's left today and what to do next. Tap a task to open it. QUIET REMINDERS, NOT A PILE OF ALERTS Tidify nudges you when a task is genuinely due and you are likely to be free โ once, gently. Timing comes from when you last did the task, not a rigid calendar. FOCUS WHILE YOU TIDY Pause the apps that pull you away while your first tasks are still open. You pick which of your own apps to shield, through Apple's own picker, and it only ever applies to this device. WHY IT WORKS - No blank page. The plan is already written for you. - Small steps. Every task is a few minutes, not an afternoon. - Visible progress. Watch a space go from cluttered to clear. - Minimal by design. No streaks to protect, no guilt, no clutter in an app about removing clutter. BUILT FOR REAL HOMES Kitchens, desks, wardrobes, garages, kids' rooms, the chair where the clothes live. Save each space and come back whenever it needs another pass. Tidify also keeps the baskets, bins and hooks it suggested along the way in one list, so a tidy-up doesn't stall at the shops. Especially good on the days when starting is the hard part โ ADHD, burnout, a new baby, a house move, or simply a week that got away from you. TIDIFY PRO Tidify is free to use with one fully featured space. Tidify Pro unlocks unlimited spaces, so every room in the home gets its own plan, synced across your devices with iCloud.
