Hi Product Hunt, I'm Maria 👋 I built a cleaning app because I am, and I cannot stress this enough, terrible at cleaning. I've been a UX designer for over 10 years. I've spent my career making apps easier for other people to use, while my own flat quietly fell apart behind me. My cleaning style was: avoid it for three weeks, then panic clean at 700mph because someone's coming over. And even mid panic-clean I'd lose the plot. Start the dishes, spot the laundry, wander off with a mug in one hand and no memory of where I started. My brain sees a messy room all at once, has a small breakdown, and decides the safest option is lying down. So I built Briskly to delete the thinking part: 📸 - Point your camera at the mess. On-device AI scans the room and writes your task list, so there are zero decisions to make ⏱ - One task at a time, each with a countdown. No wandering off, no forgetting where you started. Turns out I'll do anything if a timer is judging me 🎧 - Spotify and Apple Music built in, and it switches to a new song for every task. I did not expect this to matter as much as it does. New task, new track, and your brain just goes "right, fresh start" and gets stuck in. It's a cheat code 📊 - Before/after photo slider at the end. Proof. Evidence. Something to send your mum 🔒 - Live Activity on your lock screen and Apple Watch support, so there's no escape Full honesty: I'm a designer, not a developer. I built this whole thing solo with AI-assisted coding, and somehow it came out as native SwiftUI, no third-party dependencies, no data collection, everything on-device. A year ago this would have been impossible for me. I still haven't fully processed it. My flat has though. My flat is the cleanest it has very been actually. 😅 It's free on the App Store. Average session for me is about 14 minutes, which I know because the app tracks it, not because I'm a reliable narrator. Would love this community's feedback on literally anything, the app, the paywall, my life choices. Also tell me the room you've been avoiding. Mine was the spare room. We don't talk about the spare room.

I built a cleaning app because I am extremely bad at cleaning.

The Problem

Every cleaning app I tried assumed I was already a person who cleans and just needed a better schedule. I am not that person. I am the person on the couch who has been "about to tidy up" since Tuesday and has just been told someone is coming over.
