Chores, one at a time, on repeat.
Spare Loops keeps your chores in a loop. Whenever you have a few spare minutes, open it and do what's up next. Check it off, and the next chore comes around.
No schedules to plan. No guilt about missed days. Just the next little thing.

How the loop works
-
1
Make a loop
Start with a ready-made loop like Household, Laundry, or Bathroom, then uncheck anything you don't need. Or build your own from scratch.
-
2
See what's up next
Every loop shows one chore: the next one. Got ten minutes before pickup? You already know what to do.
-
3
Check it off
Tap the check and the next chore slides into place. When you reach the end, the loop starts over, so everything gets its turn.



Fits into your day
Spare Loops is there when you have a spare minute, and quiet when you don't.
-
Widgets
See what's next on your home or lock screen, and check it off right from the widget.
-
Siri and Apple Watch
"What's next in Spare Loops?" Or, hands full: "Check off Laundry in Spare Loops." Or just tap Done on your wrist.
-
A gentle daily nudge
One optional reminder a day with what's up next. It stays quiet if you've already done something.
-
Notes on chores
"Use the blue spray under the sink." Little reminders show up right when the chore does.
-
Pause and arrange
Put Outdoors on hold for winter, or drag your loops into the order you like.
-
Celebrate laps
Make it all the way around a loop and you get a little burst of confetti.
Simple on purpose
Most chore apps want you to plan your whole week. Spare Loops keeps only what helps.
