## What is Routine Timer?

"Wait — what was I doing again?"

If that's your brain on a weekday morning, RUU is for you. It's a routine timer that walks you through your day one small, timed step at a time — the screen shows only the thing to do right now, and reads it out loud, so the next move is never a decision.

I built RUU because of my own all-too-familiar ADHD mornings: the procrastination, the forgetting, the total blindness to how long anything takes. Instead of leaning on willpower, you lean on the system — and keep moving forward.

RUU might be for you if…

A long to-do list leaves you frozen, not knowing where to start
You look up and the time you meant to leave is already gone — so you're always late
Every habit app you've tried fizzled out within a week
You just want your mornings — and your nights — to run themselves
What you can do with RUU

● Break routines into steps
Split the things you do every day into small steps and line them up. Once.

● Run them one at a time, on a timer
Set a duration for each step. With the countdown in view, this one thing is the only thing.

● Hear the next step out loud
Hands full? Phone across the room? RUU reads the next step aloud, so you catch "okay, this one's next" with your ears.

● Run it from your wrist with Apple Watch
Keep moving through your routine without pulling out your (oh-so-distracting) iPhone.

● "Quick mode" for the rough days
One switch skips every task that isn't strictly keeping you alive. On a "I genuinely cannot today" kind of day — just eat something, and let the cleaning and studying slide.

● Branches that are quietly powerful
Build the day's twists and turns into a single routine.
Choice branches: decide on the spot mid-routine — "which way today?" (gym day vs. no-gym day)
Day-of-week branches: steps switch automatically by weekday (weekday mornings vs. weekends)

A habit app with low standards (on purpose)

RUU won't scold you for the days you didn't pull it off. There's no streak counter, no guilt-trip notifications, no broken 47-day chain. If you're after a perfect record of your morning wins, this honestly might not be your app.

If that's okay with you, give it a try. If it makes your days even a little bit easier, that would make me happy.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-19

• The task editor got smarter: check off today's completion right from the sheet, and use the new header menu to duplicate, pause, or delete a task.
• Tap a routine's estimated finish time to start it right away.
• Redesigned the Premium introduction as a swipeable carousel.
• Fixed: changing the duration of multiple tasks at once couldn't be confirmed unless you moved the picker first.
• Fixed: the "Hidden" section reopened on every launch even after you collapsed it.
• Smoother reordering — the card now stays right under your finger, and the insertion marker lines up precisely.
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-13

• Starting a different routine while one is already running now asks before discarding it, on both iPhone and Apple Watch. Picking the same routine hands it over as before, and the task list now shows when a routine is running on your Apple Watch.
• Reorder tasks while a routine is running.
• Added "Edit task" to the top of the task emoji menu.
• Clearer finish-time label, with a "Completed" state once you finish a routine.
• Fixed routines being hidden by mistake when your subscription status couldn't be confirmed — during a free trial, offline, and so on. Any routine already hidden this way is restored the next time you open the app.
• Smoother pause animation, more Spotlight search terms, and minor fixes.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-07

• The remaining-time display on the run screen is now a flowing wave animation.
• Your task list now shows the estimated finish time for each task.
• The screen now stays in portrait, so it no longer rotates while you run a routine.
• Minor design refinements and stability improvements.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-04

• You can now pause a branch — temporarily skip a whole set of tasks without deleting them.
• Paused tasks no longer show up when picking a branch option on Apple Watch.
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-30

• Restrict other apps while a routine is running with the new Screen Time limit.
• Refreshed app icon and watch complication mark.
• Tap any task in the list to open the same edit sheet used during a routine.
• Durations you adjust by hand are now left out of automatic optimization.
• Improved Apple Watch syncing, so the watch picks up the latest state as soon as you open it.
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.
