In the same way that hiring a personal trainer isn’t going to help you reach your health goals unless you put in the work, downloading a home organization app isn’t going to make a clutter issue disappear without some effort from you (and anyone else who lives in the home). Fortunately, helpful organizing apps make the process easier; they can even offer personalized tips and tricks along the way or help refine and polish an already successful organizing system. Not all decluttering apps cost money; some are free or only charge for premium services. One of the many upsides of using an app to declutter is it can make it easier to involve other household members, especially if they sometimes need a nudge to take out the trash or clean their rooms. Some apps help create an organizational system; others help clear the clutter. Some even call in reinforcements for when the mess needs a little extra elbow grease. No matter what your home organization goals are, these multitasking apps can help—if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to make them part of your cleaning and organizing process. (Yes, even if you have roommates or children.)
