Inside elbow

A look around the app

Five screens, one job each — and none of them ask you to think about scheduling.

Open to a clear plan

What's due today, what's slipped, and how each room is holding up — in one glance. Knocked a glass over? The rescue button is right there.

Rooms

A rhythm for every room

Weekly, monthly and seasonal tasks per space. Tick one off and elbow quietly spaces it out again — no reminders to set, no lists to rewrite.

Appliance care

The jobs nobody remembers

Filters, seals, descaling. Proper steps, why it matters, and what goes wrong if you skip it — plus a “last cleaned” date so months stop slipping by.

Stain rescue

Before it sets in

Filter by surface and stain type for the method that works in the moment — and, just as usefully, the mistakes that make it permanent.

Every appliance

Nothing quietly rotting

Every appliance in one grid with its own schedule, so the washing machine you last cleaned “sometime last year” stops being a mystery.

What it does

Everything your home needs, on schedule

A gentle system that turns "I should really clean that" into a plan that actually happens.

Room-by-room routines

Set up the rooms you have and elbow builds a cleaning rhythm for each one — daily, weekly, seasonal — and quietly resurfaces tasks the moment they're due.

Appliance care, step by step

Descale the kettle, clean the washing machine, clear the extractor filter — with clear steps, why it matters, and a "last cleaned" note so nothing slips for months.

Stain rescue guides

Red wine on the carpet, grease on a shirt, marker on the wall — quick, practical methods you can follow in the moment, without a frantic web search.

Share with your household

Bring your partner or flatmates into the same home. Everyone sees what's done and what's next, so the work stops living in one person's head.

Pro

See your home at a glance

A dashboard shows what's due today or across the week, and each room's health at a glance — so a busy week never turns into a backlog.

Life-proof by design

Heading away? Vacation mode pauses the nudges. Widgets keep today's tasks on your home screen. elbow bends around your life, not the other way round.

How it works

Set it up once, coast from there

A few minutes to tell elbow about your home is all it takes.

1

Pick your rooms

Choose the spaces you actually have. elbow fills each one with sensible cleaning tasks you can tweak, add to, or hide.

2

Let it keep time

Tick things off as you go. elbow handles the scheduling — spacing each task out and bringing it back exactly when it's due again.

3

Open to a clear plan

Every day starts with a short, doable list instead of a vague sense that everything needs doing. That's the whole idea.

Your home is nobody's business but yours

elbow has no accounts, no analytics, and no trackers. Your rooms, tasks, and history live only on your device and in your own private iCloud — we can't see any of it, and we never sell or share a thing.

A little elbow grease,
minus the guesswork
