Cleaning the house and keeping things organized are the never ending routines of life. Unless you’re really into that sort of thing (lucky you!), then you probably need a little help keeping up with it all! Introducing a bit of technology into the monotony of your chores can actually make them even a little bit enjoyable and checking things off of your digital lists adds that extra sense of accomplishment. There are a nice handful of iPhone apps (some may also be available for Android) that are available to help you keep up with your daily chores and organize your life. Don’t just take our word for it! Download the ones that suit you best and go get some things accomplished!
HOME ROUTINES
Home Routines divides your house into “zones” that you focus on cleaning each week. Spending 15 minutes in your focus zone every day helps you to tackle the little cleaning jobs that you would most likely avoid, thinking you don’t have time (dusting baseboards, anyone?). The app is very well designed and fun to use! After using Home Routines for a month, you will have cleaned your house from top to bottom!
MOTIVATED MOMS
Motivated Moms is a cleaning checklist app that updates every day with a premade list of chores and tasks to accomplish. Everything from washing sinks to cutting baby’s nails to quiet time. The biggest challenge is checking off everything on the list in one day! You are a really motivated mom if you can do it!

Green Shine is a little healthy cleaning solutions helper in your pocket. It contains over 100 tips for cleaning your home the chemical free way! This is a perfect app to help you green up your cleaning routine so your home is safe and clean for your family.
COZI FAMILY ORGANIZER
The Cozi Family Organizer app is the best app for Mom’s with a busy family! Keeping track of after school activities, play groups, and appointments can get crazy and Cozi streamlines your schedule into one manageable place.
SIMPLY US
Simply Us is a charming shared scheduling and list-making app that was designed for couples to use together.

MY THINGS
My Things is the app that everyone has probably thought “there should be an app for this!”. Categories such as “storage” or “bedroom closet” can be detailed with photos of the contents of these areas. So instead of digging through your attic to see if the baby clothes boxes are up there, check your My Things app! Once you’ve gone through the initial setup, the app becomes a saving grace.
