cleaning planner for iPhone
ADHD cleaning planner and checklist app that starts small
Nudge combines an ADHD cleaning planner, room checklist, and flexible schedule in one iPhone app. It helps you choose what to do first, adjust the plan to your energy, and break big rooms into small steps without pretending to diagnose or treat ADHD.
7-day trial. Plans include $2.99/wk, $6.99/mo, or $49.99/yr.
today's plan
5 minutes, low energy
- 1. Put three dishes in the sink.
- 2. Clear one cup-sized spot on the counter.
- 3. Stop while the room feels a little easier.
The point is not a perfect schedule. The point is a plan small enough to begin.
who built Nudge—and why
Built from the can't-start problem, not a perfect-home ideal
Nudge is built by Abhinav Chauhan, an independent developer who lives with executive dysfunction. He designed it around one tiny action, changing capacity, and restarting without a broken-streak penalty—the cleaning support he wanted to use himself.
inside the real room planner
Keep each room separate and start where you are
Nudge gives the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room their own place. Open one room without loading every household task into the same checklist.
- Room status: see what was cleaned today and what is still waiting.
- Flexible setup: add or edit rooms to match the home you actually have.
- Smaller scope: enter one room before choosing the next cleaning step.
Planner, checklist, and schedule
Planner
Choose what fits today's room, energy, and available time.
Checklist
Break the room into smaller actions you can actually check off.
Schedule
See what is waiting without turning the whole home into pressure.
Why rigid schedules can be hard to keep
A fixed cleaning schedule assumes your energy is predictable. For many people, it is not. A plan that felt reasonable on Sunday can feel too big on Tuesday.
Nudge starts with the day you are actually having. Tell it your energy and time, then get a plan that begins with one doable action. If all you can do is one tiny step, that still counts.
How to use an ADHD cleaning planner
- 1. Choose today, not an ideal week. Start with your available energy and time.
- 2. Pick one room. Keep unrelated chores out of the current plan.
- 3. Begin with the smallest visible action. Trash, dishes, and a clear walking path usually come before detailed organizing.
- 4. Use a stopping rule. Stop when the timer ends or the selected checklist is complete.
- 5. Re-plan without guilt. An unfinished plan is information about capacity, not a failed streak.
