A Tody alternative
Tody is a cleaning app that shows how due each task is, from green to red, on iPhone, iPad and Android. If you want something that also puts your chores in your calendar, on a set day or in your free time, SortYourMind is an alternative that also covers paperwork and the people in your life.
What Tody does well
- You clean when something needs it, not because it is Tuesday
- A clear view per area of what is becoming due
- A free plan for one person
- Shared plans with FairShare for a whole household (Premium+)
