Tidify
Read full descriptionHide full description
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. Tidify Pro is offered as two auto-renewing subscriptions: Tidify Pro Monthly (1 month) and Tidify Pro Yearly (1 year). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically for the same period and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Somehow

The hardest part of cleaning is not knowing how. It's starting. Somehow tells you one thing to do. When that's done, it tells you the next one. You never have to look at a messy room and decide where to begin. HOW IT WORKS Pick a room. Somehow shows you a single task, with the steps if you want them. Do it, or skip it โ no question asked either way. Three things out of seven is three things done. Tell it how long you have and it gives you a list that fits. Ten minutes, thirty, or whatever's due. WHAT IT NEVER DOES No streaks to break. No red badges. Nothing is ever "overdue" โ it will tell you a room was last cleaned twelve days ago, because that's information, but it will never tell you that you're behind. Skip anything, any time, one tap, no follow-up question. Come back after three months and it picks up where you left off without a word about the gap. YOUR PHOTOS NEVER LEAVE YOUR PHONE Photos of a room stay inside the app. Not your camera roll, not a server. There is no account and no server at all โ Somehow works in airplane mode, because everything it does happens on your phone. FREE All of it. No subscription, no trial, nothing locked. There's a tip jar in Settings if you want it, and it buys nothing.
