🔋

Just take out the trash.

Don't worry about wiping anything down. Just tie the bag and set it by the door. That's a win.

How it works

A softer way to get moving

No more overwhelming lists. Just gentle nudges.

01

Check your energy

Choose the level that reflects what you can realistically do right now.

02

Pick one mode

Clean, sprint, co-work, follow a checklist, or use a routine—without planning everything first.

03

Celebrate progress

Track completed steps, earn XP, and make visible progress without perfection being the goal. Miss a day? Your streak resets — your progress never does.

The quiet difference

Some cleaning apps have a host talking the whole time. Tidy Buddy doesn't.

If a companion narrating over you for the whole session sounds like too much, you're not the problem — the format is. Tidy Buddy is quiet by default, and stays that way until you decide otherwise.

Quiet Room

The same Co-Work timer, chosen quiet by name. No host, no chat, no narration — turn on voice guidance any time you want it instead.

Sensory Profile

One switch calms the whole app: voice off, ambient sound off, motion settled, and celebrations without any flashing.

Support that adapts

Useful on low-energy days, not only perfect ones

  • Energy-aware tasks Match the next step to the capacity you have today.
  • Privacy-first photos Before-and-after photos never leave your phone.
  • Calm timers and co-working Use short sprints or supportive check-ins to stay with the task — or pick Quiet Room for a session with no host, no chat, just you and the timer.
  • Voice support Hear encouraging task guidance when reading another list feels like too much.
  • Routines and rewards Build repeatable plans and recognize every completed step.

Our philosophy

Progress without pressure

Cleaning support should meet you where you are, respect the energy you have, and work with an ADHD or autistic brain instead of against it.

Your mess is your business: before-and-after photos never leave your phone — they're never uploaded.

Start with capacity

The right task is one that fits today—not an ideal version of today.

Guide without judgment

Calm prompts and clear next steps replace shame, pressure, and overwhelming lists.

Celebrate real progress

Small actions still change a space, and they deserve to be recognized.

Questions, answered

A few things to know

Clear details about availability, accounts, privacy, and what Tidy Buddy is designed to do.

Who is Tidy Buddy designed for?

Tidy Buddy is built around how ADHD and autistic brains actually work — task paralysis, all-or-nothing thinking, and sensory overwhelm are common experiences we design for. Anyone who wants gentler, more flexible cleaning support is welcome to use it.

Is Tidy Buddy available on Android and iOS?

Tidy Buddy is available now for Android on Google Play. An iOS version is coming soon. This website explains the product and links to the Android app; it is not a browser version of Tidy Buddy.

Do I need an account?

Yes. The Android app asks you to sign in with email and password or Google so it can securely load your account and sync supported progress and settings across devices.

What data does Tidy Buddy store?

Firebase Authentication secures your account, and supported progress, routines, custom tasks, and settings can sync through Firestore. Before-and-after photos stay on your device and are not uploaded. Read the Privacy Policy or visit the account deletion page for details.

Is Tidy Buddy medical or clinical support?

No. Tidy Buddy offers practical cleaning prompts, timers, routines, and encouragement. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support.
