Spin for a task, celebrate each tick your way, and watch a dollhouse home glow as it gets tidy. Clean together — no guilt, no nagging. Try Premium free for 3 days.
You set the chore chart on Sunday. By Wednesday no one's looking at it. By Saturday the kitchen's a war zone again — and somehow you're the only one cleaning it.
Tidywell is the household chores app for real homes. ADHD brains. Tired parents. Flatmates who forget whose turn it is. Instead of red warnings, guilt-trip notifications, and 50-task lists: a 2.5D dollhouse that glows sage green when it's clean — plus a focus mode for the days your brain doesn't work.
WATCH YOUR HOME GLOW
Colour-coded by cleanliness. Sage green when it sparkles. Warm amber when due. Never red, never angry.
ADHD-FRIENDLY CLEANING
Traditional chore lists are paralysing. Tidywell's answer:
• Focus Mode — one task at a time, pie timer, no list
• Energy check-in (low / medium / high) — filters tasks to match
• Spin the wheel — let it choose where to start
• AI task breakdown — any chore split into tiny micro-steps
• Low Spoons mode — auto-hides the hard stuff
• "Good enough" completion — done imperfectly beats not done
A FAIR CHORE CHART FOR FAMILIES & KIDS
Kids forget. Parents end up doing it all. Tidywell's answer:
• Kids Mode — playful UI, big tap targets, age-appropriate achievements
• Dependent profiles — add a child without giving them a phone
• Task approval with before/after photos
• 1.5x coin rewards and kid-only furniture
• "We Moved House" reset — keep streaks, coins, achievements
A CHORE CHART FOR FLATMATES & ROOMMATES
"I always do the bins. They never do the bathroom." Nobody has the data. Tidywell's answer: effort-weighted Fair Share — 5 deep cleans count more than 10 quick wipes. Household leaderboard. Room-neglect radar. End the "who does more" fight with numbers.
WEEKLY MEAL PLAN + SMART SHOPPING LIST (PREMIUM)
Plan the week's meals across four slots a day. Add ingredients and they auto-fill your shared shopping list — duplicates merge by quantity (2 onions + 1 onion = 3). Save go-to meals as templates and reuse with a tap. Drag any meal to another day. The whole household syncs in real time.
SMART SCHEDULE (PREMIUM)
Auto-builds your week from what's due, your time budget, and your preferred days. Pauses during vacation. Detects dinner parties or guests in your calendar and offers a 3–7 day prep checklist — calendar data never leaves your phone.
DECORATE YOUR DREAM HOME
Earn coins from tasks, streaks, achievements. Spend them on 100+ furniture pieces — sage sofas, velvet loveseats, brass lamps, wallpapers, rugs. New seasonal drops monthly.

Really enjoying Tidywell so far. It makes keeping on top of chores in a shared house way less painful. I like that you can set up each room separately and see how tidy everything is at a glance, plus who’s actually been helping out 😂 The spin the wheel feature is a fun idea too and surprisingly useful when nobody wants to choose what to clean. Super clean app and really easy to use.
Developer Response
Thank you, this honestly means a lot. The "who's actually been helping out 😂" bit made me laugh, because that exact argument is half the reason I built Tidywell in the first place. Spin the wheel started as a bit of an experiment, so I'm really glad it's landing for you. I'm a solo developer and I build this around feedback like yours, so if anything ever feels off or you have an idea, just shout. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this.
Absolutely brilliant app for chores

Love every thing about this app especially how you can see your rooms in such a cool way and focus mode really works to keep me on track with time.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

I’ve downloaded this for the family because we’ve inherited two nd boys, whose chaos sometimes sucks us in 😂 The use of screens interests them, as does the allocation of coins (which we’ve swapped at the end of the week for additional pocket money). The only thing that would really help me is if the “to do list” was a bit more intuitive. For example, when there is a list of tasks to be done, first on the list is vacuum the floor, then clean surfaces and finally clear clutter. So if you’re seeing just a few tasks and they’re out of order, it’s counterproductive and it makes me feel disorganised which then eats at my motivation. I like that the boys have their own lists and can take photos for “proof”, so we can approve the task. It also helps DH understand that he hasn’t swept the floor for me, because he walks on it too 🤭

Thank you for this feedback and also I'm really liking how you are using this in terms of the pocket money/coins! Your feedback is important and I am going to to take a look at how I can make the list more intuitive or at least allow moving (maybe long drag to rearrange that reflects across the whole household). Currently if you click on the rooms and let's say you are completing tasks that way instead of the 'today' tab, you can actually tap the 'sort' above the list and sort by urgency, effort, cleanilness, or simple A-Z. 100% hear you though and it is about the 'today' tasks, I will see what I can do!
Thank you for supporting Tidywell and joining the Tidywell family.
What's new:
• Tasks you move to another day now stay put
• New switch to turn vibration off, under Sound & feedback
Plus a few fixes to keep everything running smoothly.
