Chore Pad Keep your ongoing chores organized with this super-handy app, which will not only let you make a list of chores, but will also reset them every day, week, or after any number of days you specify. Plus, you can add all the members of your family as users and divide up the chores among them! Then, assign points to each task, and let your family collect them for prizes. Promise the kids ice cream when they get to 10 points, and they’ll rush to get their chores done! ($2.99 /  Feng Shui Bagua Map |
Discover your inner peace by rearranging your furniture! We’re sure it’s a little more complicated than that, but a little change of decor might be just the ticket to getting your zen on. ($1.99) |

ColorSnap by Sherman Williams Get ambitious and repaint! This app will let you browse the whole catalogue of Sherman Williams paint colors, and, even better, you can snap a photo of any color that catches you eye and match it to a paint color. Then use the app to create a whole custom palette for your room and head to Home Depot! (Free) |

LockBox Don’t limit your Spring organization efforts to your home, though! If you haven’t already invested the time and effort into setting yourself up a password keeper, we highly recommend it. This app will reduce the number of passwords you have to remember from dozens (maybe hundreds!) down to one. With strong encryption and an easy interface, this app will keep all your passcodes, account numbers, and sensitive data under lock and key, but right in your pocket. (Free) |

The app even includes a database of restaurant menu calories, for when you’re eating on the go. You’ll be ready for summer in no time! |

Screen Cleaner And, finally, a “screen cleaning” app for your iPhone that will set a puppy of your choice licking away at the grime that collects on your screen. How cute is that? (Free) |
Good luck with your Spring Cleaning!
