Household apps compared
Sweepy and Tody are cleaning apps that track what is due in each room. TOM, the Organised Mum app, gives you a fixed daily routine. Cozi is a shared family calendar with lists, and Todoist is a general to-do list. SortYourMind plans your chores, paperwork and plans with people in your free time, around your calendar.
