About
Bars that drain. Top them up before they hit zero.
Most people don't notice they're thirsty until they're already dehydrated. Or that they haven't eaten in eight hours. Or that they haven't moved since yesterday. Cues turns the daily needs you forget about into bars that drain over time — so you see them before they hit empty, not after.
WHO IT'S FOR
If you reach mid-afternoon and realize you haven't eaten, had water, or stood up. If "just remember" has never worked for you. If habit-streak apps only ever made you feel further behind. Cues is for busy people, parents, students, and anyone with ADHD or executive-function challenges who loses track of basic needs until they're already running on empty.
THE LOOP
Each cue is a bar. The bar drains at its own pace — water in 4 hours, food in 6, sleep over 17, movement every 8, social every couple of days. When a bar gets low, Cues nudges you. You tap to top it up. That's the whole game.
No streaks to break. No shame. No guilt. Just the bars.

AUTO-REFILL FROM APPLE HEALTH
Cues reads sleep, movement, sunlight, food, and water from Apple Health. When the data lands there, the right bar tops itself up automatically. No double-entry — log a glass of water in any Health-aware app and Cues picks it up.
QUIET, PRIVATE, ON-DEVICE
— No accounts. No login. No servers.
— No telemetry. No ads. No tracking.
— Health data stays on your phone.
— Notifications come at quiet times, not as a flood — quiet hours by default.
APPLE WATCH
Cues runs on Apple Watch as a companion. Glance at your wrist, see what's running low, top it up from the watch face.
WIDGETS
Lock screen and home screen widgets show your three most-urgent bars at a glance.
FREE
Everything in Cues is free. No subscription, no IAP, no trial countdown — just the app.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What is Cues? Cues is a free self-care tracker for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Each basic need — water, food, sleep, movement, meds, bathroom, social — is a bar that drains over time, and you top it up when you act on it.
How is it different from a habit tracker? Habit trackers reward streaks and punish gaps. Cues has no streaks and nothing to break: a bar that hit zero yesterday is just a bar you fill today.
Does it need an account or a connection? No. Cues works offline, with no account, no servers and no tracking. Health data stays on your device.
Is it really free? Yes — no subscription, no in-app purchases, no trial.
Do I need an Apple Watch? No. The watch app and widgets are optional; the iPhone app on its own is complete.
