Getting chores done around the house is not always an easy task. You might have everything arranged in the order in which they should happen, but the truth is that not all things get done as planned. This could be due to several reasons. You have your children or even grandchildren to keep up with, your job to be concerned about and hobbies that must take precedence from time to time. However, the good news is that the tech-savvy society of today can help. All you need is to know which apps to have in your phone or tablet to help you save a lot of time doing chores. Here is a look at 5 time-saving apps to help you take care of chores.

  1. Chorma

This is an app that can be used by all household members interactively. If every member in the house gets this app into their iPad or phone, they can see all the chores that need to be completed and then pick the ones that they would like to complete. With Chorma, every chore will have its due date listed and the number of points earned by finishing the task. You can have all the house chores allocated to members in your household.

The points earned from completing different tasks can be redeemed for something that is agreed to by every member in the house such as a movie, family pizza night, cookies or anything you choose. With this app, everyone gets more time to do their own things since the household chores are shared among every household member and will not be left to one person. Chorma is a free app for users of Apple devices.

  1. Brightnest

This is another great app to help you save a lot of time when doing chores. Brightnest offers tips and propositions on different housekeeping topics, for example making your towels fluffier, organizing your closet and cleaning out the refrigerator among others. It has eight categories: green, handy, creative, savvy, healthy, curious, hungry and clean. Within these eight categories, each has multiple suggestions. Every suggestion is illustrated in a colorful card and is divided into steps, making the tasks doable in a lesser amount of time. If you follow the suggestions given by the app closely, you are sure to save some time when completing various chores around the house. The Brightnest app is obtainable for free on iOS and Android.

  1. Zillow Digs

This is a very inspirational app to help you when you are planning for various repair projects around the house. If you are looking to complete a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project, then Zillow Digs is a great app for you. It allows you to browse from actual examples and estimate what it will take to recreate a similar look in your house. This saves you time as you get actual estimates from similar projects that have been done before. Zillow Digs is a free app for iOS.

  1. Chore Checklist Lite

This is an app that can be used to make cleaning the house less time consuming for both Apple and Android users. Sometimes, all you require to motivate you to complete tasks around the house and save time while at it, is simply a checklist ready and reminders set. You can set up this app so that you list out all chores that need to be done with dates and reminders for when they should be completed. You can also go for the regular version which will cost you $1.50, and it unlocks several task lists.

  1. Fairshare

This app is free for Android and Apple users and it is similar to Chorma, in that it allows the interaction of household members with each other as they list, assign and conduct household tasks. Every task is assigned points, which can either be used as a team approach or a competition. Fairshare users in the same house are also able to send each other private messages within the app.

Using one of these time-saving apps can help you remember the chores that need to be done around the house, when they should be done as well as how to do them, thus saving you a lot of time to enjoy life by reading books, playing games, watching movies and doing anything else that makes you happy.
