Tidywell vs Sweepy
A balanced look at two chore apps with very different philosophies.
Sweepy built the category blueprint — room-based chore tracking with priority scoring. It's a solid app. Tidywell arrived with a different thesis: that the real barrier to a tidy home isn't tracking, it's starting. So we built the gamification, the body-doubling, and the ADHD-specific scaffolding that turn tracking into doing.
