ReadySet vs Due or Die

Tired of repeating yourself every morning? ReadySet is built for busy parents to help their kids get ready on time. It shows your family exactly what needs to be done and how much time is left, so you can stop nagging and they can start taking responsibility. I built ReadySet with my two kids because they had zero sense of time, and I was exhausted from being the bad guy every morning. Now they race the clock instead of fighting me. HOW IT WORKS Create a routine with simple steps: brush teeth, get dressed, pack bag. Set a deadline. ReadySet shows a big visual countdown alongside the task list, so everyone always knows what's next and how much time is left. As each step is finished, it gets checked off. Complete everything on time? A collectible sticker is unlocked. No more "five more minutes" arguments. The timer doesn't negotiate. BUILDS REAL HABITS THROUGH CONSISTENCY Kids thrive on routine. When they see the same steps in the same order every day, those steps become automatic. Before long, your kids will remind you if something got skipped. That's when you know it's working. SYNCS ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES Your routine follows you through how mornings actually work. Start on the iPad in the kitchen, check progress from your phone while you pack the car, or let kids tick off tasks from their own device. Everything stays in sync, including the stickers. It's also a handy teaching tool. Pull up your phone and ask "what's left?" or "do we have enough time?" and let the app do the explaining instead of you. WHY KIDS LOVE IT - See exactly what they need to do, step by step - Visual countdown they can actually understand (kids can't estimate time, but they can see it disappearing) - Hear what's coming next without looking at the screen. - Check off their own tasks and feel proud - Earn stickers for beating the clock - Collect and display stickers on a virtual fridge - No competition with siblings, just personal wins WHY PARENTS LOVE IT - Morning routine runs itself without constant reminders - See task progress from anywhere in real time - Get notified when kids finish (or when they're running late) - Set it once, runs automatically on school days PERFECT FOR - Morning routines and school prep - Bedtime routines - Getting ready for sports, activities, or appointments - Homework time - Any routine where the family needs to be ready by a specific time FEATURES - Visual countdown timer designed for families with children ages 2 to 12 - Step by step task lists for each routine - Syncs across iPhone and iPad in real time - Recurring schedules (weekdays, specific days, one time events) - Sticker rewards with collectible packs - Customizable voice and audio cues - Optional task timers to help kids learn how long things take - Personal best tracking so kids can race their own record - Home screen widgets showing time remaining - Lock screen updates during active countdowns - Multi child support with individual progress tracking - Parent notifications when tasks are completed BUILT BY A PARENT, FOR FAMILIES I built ReadySet with my kids to solve our family's morning chaos. Every feature exists because we needed it. The visual countdown because my daughter couldn't understand "ten minutes." The sticker rewards because my son needed something to work toward. The lack of sibling competition because that always backfired. I hope it helps your family as much as it's helped mine.

Research suggests that negative reinforcement for missing deadlines can be up to 29% more effective than positive reinforcement. Due or Die is the to-do app and app blocker for planners who need a little tough love to help get tasks done. Create tasks. Set real deadlines. Select interventions to keep you focused. Due or Die can block selected distracting apps with Screen Time until the work is finished. Miss a deadline and the consequences escalate: complete your overdue task, clear a penalty, and earn your apps back. Helpful? Yes. Polite about your procrastination? Absolutely not. A PLANNER THAT BITES BACK • Add tasks quickly with due dates and exact times • Interventions to lockout your distractions, show detailed countdowns, set aside time for working, or create routines • Use iPhone system alarms that can sound during Silent Mode or Focus • Follow live countdowns on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Start app blocking at custom times to define when app lockouts begin. • Choose the apps, categories, and websites that steal your attention • Keep selected distractions locked until the task is complete • Face escalating consequences when deadlines are missed • Create daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly, and custom recurring tasks • Custom deadline countdowns in-app, on your home screen, and in your notification center • "Personality". Due or Die acts like a drill sergeant to turn “I’ll do it later” into “fine, I’m doing it now.” Missed deadlines triggers a penalty before apps unlock after task completion on top of short, randomized challenges from math, games, captchas, or just taking a good hard look at yourself. The more deadlines you miss in a day, the longer your post-completion lock can last. You remain in control: automatic punishment is optional, Screen Time access can be changed in iOS Settings, and optional selfie challenge images stay on-device and are deleted immediately. REMINDERS WITH A SPINE Get personalized task reminders, morning planning nudges, evening check-ins, app-lock alerts, and a weekly accountability report showing missed tasks and time spent locked out. Helpful? Yes. Polite about your procrastination? Absolutely not. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your tasks, display name, Screen Time selections, and challenge photos stay on your iPhone. No account is required. App blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time frameworks, and camera access is optional. PRICING: Subscription required for app access and all app features. - 7 day free trial - $0.99 / week (or other currency equivalent) - $2.99 / month (or other currency equivalent) - $29.99 / year (or other currency equivalent) - $39.99 ONE TIME (or other currency equivalent) For people who know better and still need a push.
