Flowo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Flowo is an ADHD day planner that rebuilds the rest of your day when plans slip. No account, no ads. Plans rarely survive the whole day. A meeting runs long, or one task turns out to be three. Flowo builds your day from your tasks and the limits you set, then rebuilds what is left each time the day changes. You see what moved, and why. Rebuild the day when it breaks When a task runs over, Flowo reflows the rest of the day around your fixed events. The schedule matches the time you actually have again. Plan without dragging blocks Add what needs doing. Flowo places each task into real free time, with breaks, around sleep, meals and the events you already have. See why every block sits where it does Open any block to see the constraint that placed it and what it was weighed against. Same inputs, same plan. Catch a thought before it goes Type or dictate it into Braindump. When you ask, Flowo turns a note into tasks with durations. The original note stays exactly as you wrote it. Keep habits through hard weeks Weekly targets scale down when the days run out, so a hard week still counts. Start focus from the plan The Pomodoro timer opens on the task that is up next. Private by design No account. Planning data is encrypted on this device with AES-256-GCM, and the key stays in the Apple Keychain. No ads, no cross-app tracking, nothing sold. Analytics stays off until you turn it on and never includes task text, notes, prompts, transcripts or media. Flowo Pro Flowo is free to download. Flowo Pro is an optional subscription with a 14-day free trial, billed to your Apple Account. Cancel in Settings at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Flowo is a planning tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. For medical advice, talk to a healthcare professional.

Tell it once. Ask later in your own words. Ruema is the app that remembers for you. Tap the orb, say the thing you will forget, and it is kept. Days later, ask in plain language and Ruema finds it. No folders, no tags, no filing. Built for ADHD brains and anyone carrying too much in their head. HOW IT WORKS Tap the orb and speak. Ruema transcribes on your device, gives the thought a title, and files it for you. Where the spare key is. What the dentist said. The gift idea you had in the car. Ask later: "Where did I put the key?" and the answer rises to meet you, with how sure Ruema is and when you told it. THE ARK Anything sensitive can live behind Face ID or your passcode. Ruema notices when something sounds private and offers to lock it. Asking about it later means proving it is you first. TODAY A planner that stays out of your way. Add a task in one line, drop it on any day, and move it with a swipe when life changes. Jump to any month or year, then come straight back with one tap. Anything unfinished from past days waits at the top of Today so nothing slips away. Finished things are kept in the Harvest, by the day you did them. THE WATCHMAN Set a reminder on any task. When you move the task, the reminder moves with it. When you finish, it goes quiet. INVISIBLE BURDEN A place for thoughts with no day attached. Drop what is on your mind, then drag it onto a day when it becomes a plan. KAIROS A focus timer inside every task. Pick your minutes, stay with it, and finish strong, even if you switch apps. THE VAULT Your passwords, stored in the Apple Keychain and opened with Face ID or your passcode. Ruema never sees them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Transcription happens on your iPhone. Memories sync through your private iCloud. No ads, no tracking, no account to create. When you use AI recall, only the handful of memories most relevant to your question are sent to Ruema's server to compose an answer, and nothing is kept there. FREE AND PLUS Free includes voice capture for up to 50 memories, 10 AI recalls a month, on-device search, the Ark, 10 active tasks, 5 categories, 3 reminders, Invisible Burden, Kairos, the Harvest, Numbers, and iCloud sync. Ruema Plus removes every ceiling: unlimited memories, unlimited AI recall, unlimited tasks, categories and reminders, plus the Vault. Ruema Plus is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a 7 day free trial on the yearly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Ruema is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure ADHD or any other condition. If you have questions about ADHD, please talk with a qualified clinician.
