Read full description

No ads. No sign-up. No subscription. Add one room and color tracking starts right away. Each room's or task's tile slowly shifts through four colors — Sparkling, Tidy, Getting dusty, Time to tidy — based on the days since you last marked it done. The sakura cat never nags or shames you; it only ever suggests, like "Want to tidy up together soon?" ROOM LEVEL OR TASK LEVEL, YOUR CHOICE - Add a room and color tracking starts immediately - Break a room into tasks (sink, range hood, and so on) for finer-grained tracking - Choose a frequency for each: Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, or your own custom days NEVER PRESSURES YOU - No overwhelming list of everything you've been putting off, no streak-shaming - The sakura cat's messages are always phrased as a gentle suggestion HISTORY - See each room's and task's color history as a simple day-by-day chart - See at a glance how many times something reached "Time to tidy" EASY TO SEE, EASY TO USE - Color-blind friendly mode (adds a pattern, not just color) - Three text sizes; haptics can be turned on or off - 9 languages: English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Portuguese YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE - No account. Your records are saved only on your device - The app itself never connects to the internet (purchases are handled by your device's app store) - Copy your records as text (export) and paste them back in (import), for example when you change phones FREE TO USE - Up to 3 rooms, 3 tasks per room, with full color tracking (including custom thresholds) - History for the last 7 days - Every setting is free, including color-blind mode, text size and export/import The in-app purchase is a one-time purchase, and nothing renews automatically. It unlocks unlimited rooms and tasks, all-time history, and 2 cat-color themes. Colors are just a guide. Use this app at your own pace.

YOUR OWN CLEANING SPACE Keep your personal cleaning spots and history. Switch between My Cleaning and Everyone's Cleaning at any time.
