Ubrutt is a calm day planner for deep work. Lay out the day in blocks, decide in advance how deep each block should be, and see week by week how much of the plan really became deep work. PLAN THE DAY The evening before or early in the morning, lay out the day in blocks: writing, meetings, lunch, training – and time for social media. Work blocks get a depth from 1 (routine) to 5 (very deep). Recurring blocks fill your weeks by themselves. THE PLAN COUNTS When a block is over, it counts. There is nothing to start. If it went differently, change the depth or mark it «Didn't happen». END OF DAY In the evening, confirm the day's blocks in one tap, fill the gaps and plan tomorrow. WEEK BY WEEK Hours of deep work against your own goal, by week and month. Plan against reality shows how much of what you planned deep became deep. No points, no streaks. FEWER BREAKS Pick the apps that pull. Open one in the middle of a work block and a calm pause comes first, and the opening is noted on the block. Ubrutt never blocks – you decide. QUIET WHILE YOU WORK A short guide sets up an iOS Focus so your phone is quiet during work hours. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS The pause is built on a shortcut you set up in Shortcuts and is most dependable from the Home Screen. Ubrutt cannot silence other apps' notifications for you. The app says so too. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no analytics. Your plan stays on your phone. Health and calendar data are read when you look at your day and never stored by Ubrutt. The only online service is feedback you choose to send.

Ubrutt explains what happened and offers a confirmed recovery path without pretending data was saved. • Notifications are cleaned up when plans change, even while notification permission is off. • Buttons, contrast, VoiceOver and larger text sizes work better throughout the app. • Account and local-data deletion now state precisely what was erased and use the standard iOS protection for destructive choices. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-10 Fixes from the first days out: • «Test the automation» never turned green if the App field in the Shortcuts action was empty. The pause now runs either way, and the app names the field that is missing. • The setup guide matches Shortcuts as it looks today, and answers whether «Open When Run» should be on. It should not. • If you subscribe, a cold start now brings you the pause — not the payment screen. • The ledger stops guessing: a pause you walked away from is no longer recorded as «no rule applied», and Ubrutt pulling itself to the front no longer counts as time spent in the app. • A running session is no longer ended silently by a widget tap or a Siri command. • Quiet hours set to the same time no longer disarm every rule, and a rule no longer loses its window when the last weekday is unticked. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-09 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Ubrutt | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Avantas-Aktiv](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/avantas-aktiv/id1610412387) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Frifor — Forstå hva du spiser!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/frifor-forsta-hva-du-spiser/id1632406566) | 4.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by Kjetil Dyrland - [Glimt - Disposable Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/glimt-disposable-camera/id6790474917) - [Hyttefred](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hyttefred/id6792740405) - [ZEBRA — Social Deduction](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zebra-social-deduction/id6794045328) - [Clearhour: ADHD Work Day](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/clearhour-adhd-work-day/id6794854016) - [Taleark: Befaringsrapport](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/taleark-befaringsrapport/id6794867329) All apps by Kjetil Dyrland: https://appshunter.io/developer/1811346692 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
