If you have ADHD, the hard part of cleaning usually isn't the cleaning, it's starting. Our pick is Plastnofy, the chore app we make: you snap a photo of a mess and it creates the chore, so there's no system to build first. Here's an honest look at it next to Sweepy, Tody, Nudge, Peachy, Dopami and Goblin Tools, including which are free, which work on Android, and which you can share with a partner.
Plastnofy: our pick if starting is the hard part
Snap a photo of a mess, Plastnofy creates the chore and shows you a more sustainable way to clean it. Your list is a feed of your own photos, not rows of text. When you sign up, you can photograph your rooms and each one gets up to three chores, already scheduled, or skip it. Set the ones that come back to repeat, and the next one appears when you finish or skip, so the schedule refills itself.
It's built for a shared home. You can share it with one other person for free, hand chores to each other, and it works on iPhone and Android. The free plan includes 5 chore scans a month; Premium ($8 a month or $80 a year) makes scans unlimited.
It's not perfect for everyone. If you want detailed room-by-room dirt tracking, Tody does that better. If you want a calm voice walking you through the first step, Nudge is built for that.
Download Plastnofy free on the App Store and Google Play.
The setup problem nobody mentions
Many cleaning apps need configuring before they help: create your rooms, list every task, pick how often each one happens. That setup is itself an executive-function task, exactly the kind an ADHD brain stalls on. If you've downloaded a cleaning app and never opened it again, it wasn't a discipline problem. The app asked you to do the hard part first.

What actually matters in an ADHD cleaning app
Low setup. If you have to build the system first, you may never use it.
Visual over text. A photo of your actual mess registers in a way a typed list doesn't.
External memory. Repeats and reminders mean you stop holding it all in your head.
Forgiving. Miss a week and it should pick up where you are, not bury you in red.
Works for the people you live with. If your partner can't see or share the list, you're still the one remembering everything.
Common questions
Is there a free cleaning app for ADHD?
Yes. Plastnofy, Sweepy, Tody and Dopami are free to download with optional upgrades, and Goblin Tools is free on the web. Nudge and Peachy are subscription apps, with free trials on some plans.
What's the best ADHD cleaning app for Android?
Nudge and Peachy aren't on Android, so there look at Plastnofy, Sweepy, Tody or Dopami. Plastnofy is the one of those where a photo creates the chore.
Which ADHD cleaning app can couples or families share?
Plastnofy is free for two people, Sweepy and Dopami share for free, and Tody shares on Premium+. For more on keeping a shared home running, see our guide to cleaning with ADHD.
The bottom line
There's no single best cleaning app for ADHD, but there's a useful filter: pick the one that asks the least of you before it helps, and that the people you live with can use too. If points motivate you, try Sweepy or Dopami. If you need a voice to get you moving, try Nudge. If starting is the wall and you share your home, start with a photo in Plastnofy.
