Question 1

Is Tidywell really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier works forever without an account. Premium unlocks the virtual shop, unlimited Live Sprints, AI task breakdown, and premium insights. One subscription covers your whole household.

Question 2

How is Tidywell different from Sweepy?

Accepted Answer

Sweepy is an excellent room-based chore tracker. Tidywell goes further with a virtual home reward system, multiplayer Live Sprints, AI task breakdown for executive dysfunction, lo-fi soundscapes, and a design language built for ADHD brains — no red, no guilt, no streak punishment.

Question 3

Does Tidywell work for ADHD?

Accepted Answer

It was designed for ADHD brains first. We interviewed 200+ adults with ADHD, then built around the specific friction points they described: task overwhelm, dopamine gaps, missed-day guilt, and the inability to start. Body doubling, AI breakdowns, gamified rewards, and vacation mode all come from those conversations.

Question 4

Can I use Tidywell without an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tidywell is anonymous-first. You only create an account when you want to sync across devices or invite family members. Your data is stored locally until you decide to sync.

Question 5

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use Supabase with row-level security, never sell data, and only collect what's needed to run the app. Read our privacy policy for the full breakdown.

Question 6

How does the virtual home work?

Accepted Answer

Every completed chore earns coins. Spend coins in the virtual shop on furniture, wallpapers, flooring, and decor. Place items in a dollhouse version of the rooms you actually have. It's a dopamine loop that makes cleaning feel like playing a city-builder.

Question 7

What are Live Sprints?

Accepted Answer

Kahoot for cleaning. Start a sprint, share a 4-letter code with your household, and clean together on a synced timer. Task completions sync live across devices. When time runs out, a bell rings and a leaderboard appears. Great for families, roommates, and solo body doubling.

Question 8

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tidywell is offline-first. Everything you do saves locally and syncs when you reconnect. You can clean in airplane mode, on a cruise, or in a remote cabin — the app doesn't care.

Question 9

Is there a kids mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kids mode adds springy animations, confetti, larger buttons, and simpler language. Parents control which rooms and tasks kids can access.

Question 10

How do I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Two taps inside the app, or via your App Store / Google Play subscription settings. No dark patterns, no phone calls.

Question 11

Which platforms?

Accepted Answer

iOS 16+ and Android 10+. One subscription covers both.

Question 12

When is Tidywell launching?

Accepted Answer

Early access is rolling out in spring 2026. Join the waitlist via the App Store or Google Play listing.
