38 Handy Household Management Apps

From Gardening Guide Apps to Family-Organizing Software

— February 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
Life outside of the home can be hectic enough, which is why household management apps have multiplied in recent years. With one or even two smartphones as standard electronic possessions of Westerners, there is such great potential for using mobile software to help juggle a variety of domestic tasks.

There are iPhone and Android applications to help you buy groceries more efficiently, to keep track of food expiry dates, to facilitate meal planning and to filter fast recipes quickly. Caring for your pets and your general dependents can be made easier with apps for finding babysitters for your kids, and even social media software to check on the current conditions of your local dog park. Overseeing budgeting, finance, housekeeping services and the necessities for entertaining are all made easier with these lifesaving organizational household management apps.
