ADHD Cleaning Planner

iPhone app

One task. However long you have.

Tell ADHD Cleaning Planner how much time you can give it. It gives you one small thing to do, and a timer to do it in.

Coming soon to the App Store

Do not build a better task manager. Build a better way for an overwhelmed person to start cleaning.
The line the app is built around

The number we never show you

Most cleaning apps open with a total. You have 23 tasks. That sentence is the one this app exists to avoid, so it is not in here. There is no outstanding count, anywhere.

Every number the app shows you is something you have already done.

How it works

The whole app is one loop. You can be doing something within a few seconds of opening it.

  1. Open the appNo sign-in wall. No setup to get through first.
  2. Say how long you haveFive minutes is a real answer.
  3. Get one taskOne. Small enough to start. Not a list.
  4. Start the timerOne task on screen, counting down.
  5. FinishEarly counts. Stopping early counts too.
  6. Keep going, or don’tYou see what you did. Another task is optional.

You do not need an account to reach step three.

Onboarding gets you to a task you can start before it asks you to create anything.

What that means in practice

A few decisions that follow from building for starting rather than for tracking.

Finishing early is finishing

If you set ten minutes and the job takes four, that is a success, and the app records it as one. Stopping early still counts.

A missed day is not a failure

When a streak lapses, the app says Fresh start today. It does not tell you what you broke or how long you were away.

No total outstanding count

Nowhere in the app is a number for everything left to do. The figures you see are things already achieved.

One thing on screen

During a timer you get the task and the time. Choosing what to do and doing it are kept apart.

What is in it

“What should I do?”

The suggestion engine takes the time you have and picks one task, so deciding is not the first thing you have to do.

Focus timer

A countdown for the task in front of you. Ending it early is a normal, complete outcome.

Rooms

Your home, split into places. Tasks belong to a room, so a suggestion can be somewhere you are already standing.

Subtasks

Break a task down when it is too big to start. A smaller first step is a legitimate way through.

Routines

Sets of chores that come back on a schedule, so recurring work does not have to be remembered.

Chore templates

Starter chores already written for each room, so an empty app is not the first thing you have to fill in.

Pricing

The core loop is free, and stays free. Premium adds room to grow, not the ability to start.

Two things worth saying plainly

This is a productivity tool, not a treatment.

ADHD Cleaning Planner is designed around executive-function challenges that many people find familiar. It does not treat, diagnose, manage or improve ADHD or any other medical condition, and it is not a substitute for professional advice.

It is an iPhone app, and it is not out yet.

ADHD Cleaning Planner runs on iOS. There is no Android version and no web version. It is currently in TestFlight and is not on the App Store.
