Read a count-balanced cleaning plan
Kleara balances how many tasks fall on each day, not how long they take. See how a kitchen and bedroom plan is spread over 28 days and how to read the busiest days.
What is being balanced
When Kleara builds a plan, it looks at the first 28 days and tries to keep the number of tasks per day as even as possible. Frequent tasks are placed first, because they have the fewest options. Each task is given the start day, within its own cycle, that keeps the busiest day lowest; if several start days are equal, the one with the lower total load wins.
Every task counts as one. A quick trash run and an oven clean have the same weight, because the app has no information about how long a job takes in your home.
The kitchen and bedroom example
For a kitchen and a bedroom starting on 26 October 2026, the 11 tasks produce 46 occurrences. Eighteen days have two tasks and ten days have one; no day has three.
The order shows the rule at work. The sink and the kitchen floor take 26 October, the bedroom vacuum and the trash 27 October, dusting and the dishwasher 28 October. The monthly and longer jobs fill gaps: the fridge on 30 October, the kettle on 31 October, the oven on 1 November and the windows on 5 November.
Read the busiest days yourself
- Look at what is on the two-task days, not just the number: 1 November pairs the oven with the sink, which is a different evening from the trash and the bedroom vacuum.
- If one of those days is heavy for you, use Move to another day in the app on the longer job, and the rest of the plan stays as it is.
- Change frequencies before you judge the balance; a daily task produces 28 occurrences in four weeks and can dominate the count without dominating the effort.
- With several people, Take turns spreads tasks by weekly load, counting a weekly task as one per week and a task every three days as more than two.
What the count cannot tell you
A day with one task is not necessarily the shorter day. The plan does not estimate minutes, and it does not know who is at home on which evening.
The balancing happens once, when the plan is built or a room is added. After that, completions decide the dates: a task ticked late moves its next date, and the even spread gradually gives way to your real routine.
