## What is LIFE/CTRL?

Most days follow a familiar flow.
In LIFE/CTRL you build that flow first as a pattern, a LIFE, then add each day's plans on top of it.

Make as many LIFEs as you like: weekdays, days off, days out and more.
Put a LIFE on a calendar date and it becomes that day's plan.
Add plans or changes for just that day, and the pattern stays as it is.

Inside a LIFE, the day is divided into blocks by time and task, and you add parts, your actions, to each block.

Your Home Screen widget keeps showing the tasks you need right now.

《How it works》

■ Create with CTRL
Answer a few questions and CTRL builds a day from wake-up to sleep. You can also type a request to adjust an existing LIFE, create a part, or add TODO items and alarms.

■ Build reusable parts
Turn brushing your teeth, meals, work, shopping and other activities into timed parts. Choose an icon and colour, then reuse each part across multiple LIFE templates.

■ Arrange your day
Place parts inside blocks such as WAKE, WORK, HOME and SLEEP. Since wake-up starts the day and sleep ends it, schedules that cross midnight, including night shifts, work naturally.

■ Assign LIFE templates to dates
Assign a LIFE to a calendar date to create that day. Keep settings that apply every time separate from changes for one specific date.

■ Run the day from widgets
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show the current block and its parts. Mark actions complete without opening the app.

■ TODO items and alarms
Store belongings or steps inside a part as TODO items. Alarms support sound, snooze and vibration-only options.

Available in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean and Spanish.
Free, with no ads or in-app purchases. Your routine data is stored on your device. Only if you allow CTRL's input interpretation is the text you type sent through our server to Google Gemini.

Alarm features require iOS 26 or later.

### 5/5 — おしゃれで使いやすい

*2026-10-12*

とてもおしゃれで、シンプルで、広告もなし。無駄がありません。正に求めていたアプリ。
終わったタスクが消えない、リストを上書きしてもタスク状況が引き継がれる、ヴィジェットで細かいToDoリストが開けるのがとても助かっています。

これは見落としかもしれませんが、アラームではなく、プッシュ通知のリマインド(繰り返しあり)があると助かります。Apple Watchにも届くと非常に嬉しいです。

月曜日にLIFEリストを編集する際に月曜日以外限定のタスクを入れると、リストに表示されないのが少し気になります。気が付かずに複数登録してしまいましたが、削除もできず、日が変わるのを待つしかないのでしょうか？

追記:
調整ありがとうございました！とても使いやすくなりました！

**Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。

プッシュ通知は私が見落としていました。
早急に対応させていただきます。
watchの連携も進めておりますので、今しばらくお待ちいただけますと幸いです。

曜日限定タスクに関しても、改善案を考えます。
お手数おかけしますが宜しくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — デザインが良い！

*2026-10-03*

1日1日やることを確認するのが面倒で、やらないといけないことを表示し続けるアプリを探してたのでDLしました。

似たアプリはあると思うけど、デザインがおしゃれで良かったのでこのアプリを選びました！

最初は何をしたらいいのか分からなかったのですが、アップデートで使い方の説明が追加されて助かりました。

なお、自分の設定が悪いのか、行きと帰りの移動を分けて登録していて、行きの移動をタップすると帰りの分の移動も終わった事になってしまいます。(そもそもそういう使い方じゃなかったら申し訳ないです……)

追記:
不具合の対応スピードも早くてよかったです！修正ありがとうございます！

**Developer response:** レビューとご報告ありがとうございます。

ご指摘いただいた移動PARTSの完了処理について修正し、今回のアップデートで反映しました。

今後も使いやすく改善していきます。
よろしくお願いします。

### 4/5 — PARTS

*2026-10-02*

細かめに設定したいので、PARTSを一回だけでなく何回もおけるようにしたいです、。LIFEを組み立てている時に時間の変更ができたらなお嬉しいです。

**Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。

partsに関しては本日のアップデートで対応いたしました。
ぜひ使ってみて下さい！

時間の変更に関しては今しばらくお待ちください。

引き継ぎよろしくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — カレンダーについて

*2026-09-29*

シフト制の仕事をしているため、カレンダーでの表示色を変更できるのが視覚的に分かりやすくて助かります！

(確認不足でしたらすみません)カレンダーを月曜日始まりに変更できるとありがたいです

追記:
カレンダーの曜日変更アップデート本当にありがとうございます🙇‍♀️

ウィジェットやロック画面ですぐに確認できるので忘れ物が減りました！

**Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。
そちら早急に変更可能にさせていただきます。
次のアップデートをお待ちください。

### 5/5 — 痒いとこに手が届くアプリ

*2026-09-27*

何時に何をやるか、アラーム付きのものを探していました。最初の登録に時間はかかりますが、設定が自由性が高くとても使いやすいです。
またシンプルなデザインもとても好みで、かなり毎日の生活が楽になりそうです。
これからたくさん使ってみようと思います。

**Developer response:** ご使用いただきありがとうございます。
今回のアップデートで初期設定も少し使いやすくなったかと思います。
ぜひアップデートをお願いします。
ご要望などあれば改善しますので、今後とも宜しくお願い致します。

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.2 — 2026-10-08

• You can now see what you ticked on past dates. Ticks are kept for each day, so ticking a part today no longer clears the day before.
* Ticks are kept by date from this update on. Because of an earlier bug, past ticks that were overwritten before this update cannot be restored. We apologize for the inconvenience.
• Parts and blocks can now tell you with a notification instead of an alarm. Choose it in their time settings. Notifications also reach your Apple Watch and work on iPhones before iOS 26.
• When editing a LIFE, parts set for other days of the week are now shown too, faded and labeled with their days.
• Parts can now hold a contact (name, phone and email). Choose one from Contacts or share a card from a business card app, then call or email right from the board. You can also attach a contact when creating plans in CTRL.

### 1.6.1 — 2026-10-06

• Fixed a crash that could happen after opening an app's App Store page from Settings › ABOUT
• Small buttons are easier to tap
• Fixed the calendar's Repeat + sometimes opening late or not at all

### 1.6 — 2026-10-05

New features, mostly ones you asked for.
• Drag to reorder LIFE, PARTS, TODOs, blocks and the PARTS inside a block
• Add, rename and reorder PARTS categories
• Repeat on weekdays by week, such as the 2nd and 4th Wednesday
• Blocks show time used over time available, and today's board shows the time left as a progress bar
• Choose appearance (light or dark), a theme and the progress bar direction in Settings › Display
• Choose round or pill-shaped calendar dates, and weekday names in your language or English, in Settings › Display
• Settings › Display and Alarms are tidied into rows that open when tapped
• A LIFE that runs past midnight now turns over to the next day once its bedtime passes
• A short animation draws the LIFE/CTRL logo as the app opens
• Below the calendar, the LIFEs placed that month are listed with their colours, and you can change a colour from there
• VoiceOver support
• Text weights are made consistent for easier reading
• LIFE/CLCT is added to Settings › ABOUT

### 1.5 — 2026-10-03

LIFE/CTRL now works with our new app, LIFE/CLCT.

• From "Use in LIFE/CTRL" in LIFE/CLCT, link an object to existing PARTS, make new PARTS, or place them on a date
• Open PARTS on a date's board to see the linked object; tap it to open it in LIFE/CLCT

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-02

Bug fixes and stability improvements.
• Placing the same part more than once in a day no longer shares its completion, items and alarm. Each extra placement becomes its own copy, numbered within the same block (e.g. Meeting2)
• Fixed a crash when tapping Done twice quickly in a part's settings
• Fixed dates shifting when the iPhone uses a non-Gregorian calendar
• Fixed an old alarm sometimes staying set after quick successive changes
