I struggle with motivation. I also struggle with feeling like no matter how much I've done, it's not enough. Sweepy so far has helped me with both. I see the tasks that I am scheduled to do and since I've scheduled certain tasks for weekly, bi-weekly, etc, I don't stress about having to do them all the time. I see that they're not due yet and it gives me a sense of satisfaction instead of always feeling like I have more to do. And the basic app is free! Win-Win!!
Reviews for Sweepy: Home Cleaning Schedule
I do like this app, and it's a great way to keep track of what I need to clean and when. The streak and wildcard could use some work, though. I my streak will randomly change numbers or just go to zero, and the wildcards just don't increase at all. It would help if there was a manual way to fix the numbers I settings rather than just turn it off completely. If you don't care about the streaks or keeping your numbers this app is still great.
This is a great little app! easy to use, and makes remembering the little things so easy! The free version is great, but paying the VERY low fee gives the added benefit of the app giving you a cleaning schedule for each day, which is a great reminder to do the little tgings, like cleaning light switches, vacuuming under tge washer and dryer, and such.
I love this app so much. I wish there were more task apps that worked this way -- motivating you with a streak while allowing you to sort based on how often things need to be done and how long its been since the last time. It's brilliant. I've never been this successful at cleaning with so little effort, just a little bit every day. Life changing! I would pay for the option to have multiple houses and run a streak for each one. Then I could have a fitness house and a paperwork house and...
Sweepy is great both for helping me keep track of how often I need to do things (like change water filters, which I always forget how long it's been) and for making it so I don't get overwhelmed with the amount of things I need to do. Instead of sitting there and thinking oh I need to do 20 things end up doing nothing because I get overwhelmed, Sweepy is just like hey, you can do all that over the course of several days, today, just focus on these 2-3 things. Huge help.
For reference, I pay for the premium version. It's a very small price for all of the extra help I get from it! I appreciate that even if I deviate and do tasks other than what was on my schedule, the other ones count towards my daily task points! I've also used this for self care (because I struggle with executive dysfunction) and it's super helpful to have all together on the same list. I just created a custom room called "Body". Absolutely love it!
This is easily the most useful app I've ever used. I quickly realized I needed the schedule and y'all, it's well worth the $13 per year! My house is cleaner, I'm no longer struggling to remember the little things (like cleaning baseboards), and I get to see the progress each time a task is completed. If you struggle with being too busy with your kids, business, or husband... this is the app for you!
I used the free version myself for a couple months and really liked it, so I upgraded to the paid version to get the premium family features. The app helps reduce mental load. I no longer have to make lists every weekend for myself. I don't have to think of tasks on the spot when my family gives low effort offers to help (and then sneak off when I don't answer fast enough). Now I just say look at sweepy. :) I do wish there was a way to submit feedback & feature requests?
I'm prefacing this by saying that I did become a premium member. It was reasonably priced, and I felt it was worth it. I'm one who gets overwhelmed and doesn't know where to start with housework. I also enjoy checking things off a list. The app creates the list and schedule for me and keeps track with the estimated cleanliness of rooms. I do wish there were separate room categories for pets and laundry washing/folding/putting away. Overall, I love it so far.
I've used this app for a week so far. it is a little labor intensive up front but helpful. I can't justify paying for premium right now & can't tell what you get extra without doing 3 day trial. But so far much more helpful than lists I've made over & over, index cards, phone reminders. once you set up each "room" - and keep in mind you can be creative, don't limit yourself to physical rooms - you identify tasks within that area, current state, when last done. I added pets & plants too
