Tody Alternative: A Sustainable, Photo-First Chore App
If you're looking for a Tody alternative, you probably like staying on top of cleaning but want something that fits your home a little better. Tody is a solid app. Plastnofy just comes at it from two angles Tody doesn't: you build your chore list from photos, and it helps you clean more sustainably.
You can try the household chore app here, or download Plastnofy free on the App Store or Google Play.
Why people look for a Tody alternative
Tody's whole thing is a color-coded system that shows how due each task is, so you clean by what needs attention instead of a fixed calendar. People love that, until they don't. The usual reasons folks start looking elsewhere: it leans toward solo or couple use and gets fiddly for a whole household, everything is still typed in by hand, and there's no angle on cleaning more sustainably. If any of those is your sticking point, you've got options.

What actually makes Plastnofy different
Two things, and they're the whole reason to switch.
First, it's photo-first. Instead of typing out a list, you snap a photo of a mess and Plastnofy creates the chore from it. Your list ends up made of your own photos instead of rows of text, which is a lot easier to actually keep up with.
Second, it's built to clean more sustainably. When it creates a chore, Plastnofy pairs it with the sustainable supplies you already have at home, so you reach for those instead of whatever's under the sink, and when you finish, it shows the impact you're making. It also has a built-in scanner: snap a photo of a cleaning product and it tells you whether it's a genuinely sustainable choice, then suggests a cleaner swap if it isn't. That's something the usual chore apps, Tody included, don't really do.
It's also built for a shared home. You assign chores, set them to repeat, and everyone sees the same list update live, so the work doesn't all land on one person.
Who should stick with Tody, and who should switch
Stay with Tody if you live alone or as a couple, you like its color-coded due-date system, and the sustainability angle doesn't matter to you. It's a genuinely good app for that.
Switch to Plastnofy if you want a more visual, photo-first way to track chores, you share the place with other people, or you'd like cleaning that's kinder to the planet without any extra effort. If "try something new and help the planet while you're at it" sounds good, that's exactly the gap Plastnofy fills.
You can download Plastnofy free and have your first photo-made chore on the list in under a minute. To see how it stacks up against the wider field, here are the best apps for household chores.
