The job is a moment in the day, not a cleaning score. You want the phone to keep going, and to hand the alert to someone else if the first person does not finish.
Ok Donkey vs Sweepy
Sweepy is for the cleaning itself. You tell it the rooms and how often they need a going-over, it builds a schedule, and the people you live with can share the work. There is a streak, a leaderboard, and a parent can approve a child’s task. It is a game with a mop, in the friendliest sense.
Ok Donkey does not score the housework or decide that the skirting boards are due. It takes a time you choose — the school run, a dose, bin night, the laundry — and keeps alerting until that event is marked done. Sweepy’s public pages describe the schedule and the sharing. They do not describe an alarm that stays up until someone taps Done.

The laundry
Sweepy can fold laundry into a cleaning plan and show who in the household has done their bit. Ok Donkey does not know about rooms. It fires at the time you set, stays up until the laundry event is marked done, and can give the next occurrence to someone else.
Questions
Does Sweepy keep alerting until the chore is done?
Not from the description on its App Store or Google Play listings. Those pages describe a shared cleaning schedule, progress, and a leaderboard.
Is Sweepy only for families?
The listings invite family members or roommates. It is a household app. Ok Donkey is the same shape of sharing — the people on the event — without the cleaning game.
Is Sweepy on iPhone as well as Android?
Yes. Sweepy is on the App Store and on Google Play.
Sweepy from its App Store and Google Play listings, September 2026. Ok Donkey from the product shown on okdonkey.app. The data cell is the Google Play data-safety section: it may share personal info with third parties. The App Store label lists contact, user content, and identifiers as linked to you. Features change.
