A plan for when company is coming
Pick how much time you have and which rooms company will see, and Hollow Wise builds one routine that covers them, sized to fit. It moves at the pace you set and always leaves you with a clear place to stop.
Updates and early access
What changed—and why it matters.
A calm record of meaningful Hollow Wise improvements. No streak, no backlog, and no need to read every entry.
Name more than one bedroom or bathroom
You can now add and name additional bedrooms and bathrooms from Account, each with its own setup.
Stray Solutions: working through a stray pile, one small round at a time
A new way to work through a cluttered spot without deciding everything at once. You search for strays, decide what stays and what goes, and stop whenever you need to — no deadline, no timer.
Favorites, chosen with a heart
Tap the heart on any routine to keep it on Home. Tap a filled heart to take it off, or swap it for another.
Hand a routine off to someone else
Share what's left of a routine with anyone, by link — they don't need an account to help.
I'm Overwhelmed: one button when you can't decide
Pick your room and what's bothering you most, and Hollow Wise builds a short routine on the spot. No planning required.
Quiz Station: all your setup questions, in one place
Answering the questions that shape your routines now happens in one place, room by room, so you can see what's left and what's already answered.
Bigger jobs, one small step at a time
A task like washing the dishes or changing the sheets now walks you through its small steps one at a time, instead of all at once.
Your cleaning supplies, kept up as you clean
Each room now offers a short list of the supplies you might use there, and you pick the ones you have. When you finish a routine, it asks one yes or no question: would you like to update your cleaning supplies audit? Say yes and it goes through only the supplies that routine used. Say no and nothing changes.
Account is easier to manage
Account is now one place for the things about you and your home. You can rename or remove a room, and change your name and pronouns. If you try to sign up with an email that already has an account, you are offered a link to log in instead.
Cleaning tips, arranged by room
The list of cleaning tips is now grouped into Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, Living Room and Home Care. Each tip has a picture and a short summary. The same layout is in Cleaning tips in the app.

A page of common questions
There is now a FAQ page with short answers about what Hollow Wise is, how Quick Clean works, what it costs, and how to get help. You can find it in the footer and on the Help and support page.
More cleaning tips
There are now more than 40 cleaning tips, from stoves and the fridge to floors, windows, bedding and curtains.
Cleaning tips, easier to find
Blog is in the top menu now. The list shows each post's date, newest first.
Log in with a 6-digit code
The email we send now includes a 6-digit code you can type in. It works in the app installed on your iPhone home screen. The email link still works too.
Add Hollow Wise to your home screen
Hollow Wise now installs like an app, with the acorn icon on cream. If you lose your connection, you see a calm page instead of an error.
Kitchen steps and guides agree
Every kitchen cleaning guide is now its own set of steps in the routines, so the advice is the same in both places.
Routines by how much energy you have
Each room asks how much you have today. Routines are grouped by energy, and one tap filters to what fits.
Room pages that are easier on the eyes
Each room has its own color, with your most used routines first. Drag cards to arrange them your way. Controls are bigger for thumbs, and there are no reminders about unfinished routines.
Cleaning tips and guides
The site gained cleaning articles, one appliance at a time, and the app gained matching guides under Resources.
Routines in sections, and a free place to start
Reset the Room routines are organized into visible sections. Quick Clean stays free with no account. Joining Hollow Wise saves your rooms and gives you routines built for your home.
Four rooms, done carefully
After a week of testing and review, Hollow Wise was rebuilt around four carefully written rooms: Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom and Living room, each with its own questions and routines. Older experiments were set aside so the product could be smaller and clearer.
Home Intake arrives
A short set of questions about your floors, rooms and pets, instead of one long questionnaire, so routines fit your home.
Your home, room by room
Your rooms are now the starting point for personalized routines. Saved progress and sharing a room's routine make it easier to stop, return, or hand the work to someone else without losing the steps.
Routines that fit your day
Saved progress and routines for each of your rooms give you more ways to plan what fits. Important safety notes always stay visible.
A more reliable experience
Logging in, saving room answers, and returning to unfinished setup are now more reliable. If a room answer cannot be saved, clear Retry and Return choices help you keep moving.
One Hollow Wise for everyone
The separate testing area was retired. Testers use the same Hollow Wise being prepared for everyone else.
A more welcoming account entrance
Returning customers and new customers now start with two clear paths before choosing Google or a secure email login.
- Quick Clean remains available without an account.
- The Back action returns to the two starting choices.
The founder story has a home
The About page now tells how household decision overload led to Hollow Wise, what the name means, and what is true about the product today.
Help and information are easier to find
The complete public footer now keeps support, privacy, safety, product information, and social links available from the About page.
