5 apps for your Sunday reset

A Sunday reset is one hour spent so the other six days run by themselves. These five each take one part of it: which room is overdue, the weekly weigh-in for the bearded dragon, the week of meals turned into one shopping list, the plants that need something, and where the month’s money stands.

The apps for your Sunday reset are Sweepy, Beardie, Mealime, Planta and YNAB. I built Beardie; the other 4 are other developers’ apps.

Four stars is my score for how well an app answers this moment. An app I built gets four and a half — that is a rule, not a comparison. The App Store’s own average is on each card beside it.

Beardie is one of mine — everything else on this list is someone else’s app. How that works.
