The one thing to clean right now

Tidybit is a cleaning and chore app for people whose house gets away from them. One task, sized to the energy you actually have today — and nothing that counts what you missed.

Built for the days you have, not the schedule you fell behind on

Every cleaning app assumes you will keep up. This one assumes you will not, and works anyway.

Setup is one photo

Point your camera at a room. Tidybit works out what the room is and what needs doing in it, with real steps for each job. No building your whole house by hand before the app does anything useful — which is where most people give up.

It scales to today

Tap Low, Normal or Lots. On a low day you are offered something that takes five minutes, never a forty-minute job. The control is optional and defaults to normal, so you can ignore it forever and still have a working app.

Nothing accumulates against you

No streak to break. No red. No “3 overdue” badge. Rooms fade gently from green toward a warm clay when they have been waiting, and that is the strongest thing Tidybit will ever say to you.

“Not today” means not today

One tap defers a chore without recording a thing, and offers you something else instead. No penalty, no note, and no trace of the skip anywhere in the app.

Sessions that keep you going

Full screen, a count-up timer rather than a countdown, and the steps listed out. Tick them off or ignore them entirely — finishing never requires the bookkeeping. It rides along on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

One gentle nudge, or none

A single reminder a day, at a time you choose, and easy to turn off completely. There is also an “I already did…” log for work the app never suggested — entirely optional, like everything else here.

Honest about the price

The daily loop is free forever. One chore at a time, capacity, sessions, the log and the reminder are not behind a paywall, and never will be.

Tidybit Complete adds more rooms, unlimited room photos and your own custom chores. You can buy it once and own it, or subscribe if you prefer — buying it once is the option we would pick.

No account. No sign-up. Your rooms and history stay on your phone, and a room photo is used once to build the plan and never stored.

Start with one thing

Finish something within ninety seconds of opening the app, having made no decisions at all.
