Good and functional app
Great app for setting up routines and time boxing them especially if you struggle with doing tasks. Uncluttered and easy to use!
So close, but not designed for time blocking.
I’ve been searching for a simple app to provide a speaking time coach with my time blocking approach to my productivity.
This app allows me to link sets of timed activities under titles, such as ‘Monday’, without any fuss or complexity. It announces (speaks) the task and how long has been planned for it. It is totally focussed on one thing: time coaching someone through activities. Brilliant and exactly what I cannot find elsewhere.
Except, it does two things that mean it’s a poor fit for time blocking. 1) tasks can only be 60mins max, so a 4hr time block will need four tasks adding. Unrealistic for a day I expect to be 10hrs long. 2) The coach says ‘Get xx done in y mins!’ It’s too aggressive for time blocking. While this is minor compared to 1, a time blocking coach would simply say ‘Admin for 1hr’, and ‘10 minutes to next task’. Aggressive ‘Get it done!!!’ every 60mins through a whole day is just not something I could stomach.
Sigh. So near but so far. This app has clearly been designed for something else. If the coach had two modes, and tasks could be hours, it would be the best focussed, minimal distraction, productivity app out there.

Very simple and effective
I love this app so much. It is very simple yet so effective. I really wanted to give it 5 stars but I really feel like something is missing from the timer and that is the ending time. I find it helpful to see the ending time of the routine so that if I accidentally go off track, I can predict whether I should skip on something or not. Other than that, the app is unbeatable.

Simple and effective!
I have never been able to stick to a routine. This app is so straight forward and simple which is impossible to find.
And now I have my routines press play and the app tells me the time to complete the task, warns me when i have 1 min , 30 seconds left. It also moves on to the next task so I dont get distracted.
This is an ADHD god send. Thank you so much for making this app! I have recommended it to other ADHD people as well!! I finally can complete a routine 🥹

Love this app but needs 1 change
Please make the entire text visible when in countdown mode. The app cuts off the rest of the sentence and it’s very inconvenient. Thanks
Amazingly easy to use!
App is simple and straightforward! I love this! Is developer supporting this app? Is it possible to add a timeline per day we know when we start/when we pause/when we finished, and what is actual used time compared to planned time? And later we can add calendar to integrate with the routine? This makes users to keep track of habits. I wanted to use this app for everyday use for almost every single tasks. However due to lack of features, I kinda combine it with some other fancy verbose apps… also, what about Apple Watch? I have a lot expectation on this app…

Amazing!
Free app with no in app purchases, and it makes making routines effortless! Great app!
Best routine app there is!
Simple and easy to use! I love how it goes from one task to another with “Siri voice” prompts. You can make unlimited tasks and routines. Been searching for an app like this! Glad I found this.
Simple, easy but no sync
I really love this app. I just wanted something simple and easy to help me with my daily/ night routines. I just wish there was an option to sync between devices (IPad etc.) or even a way to keep it safe...
