Every completed run is saved to your history, so you can see your consistency over time and know exactly how your routines evolve. Rou is fully offline and account-free. There's no sign-up, no cloud sync, and no data leaving your device - everything lives in a local, private database that only you control. Key features: • Step-by-step routine builder with drag-to-reorder • Focused run mode that walks you through each step • Automatic run history and elapsed-time tracking • Light and dark themes that follow your device settings • Fully offline - no account, no internet required • Available in English and Armenian Whether it's a daily habit, a workout routine, or a recurring checklist, Rou keeps it simple: build it once, run it whenever you need it.
