“Five tasks a day. Uncle Rudy will hold you accountable for finishing them” I'm Uncle Rudy, your daily tasks and accountability app. You pick five things to get done. I keep them in sight, remind you when it matters, and roast you when you start making excuses. "I'll do it later" has had a good run. We're done with that. PICK FIVE. NOT FIFTY. Choose five tasks for today. Everything else goes in your Inbox or Waitlist until it's time. You don't need a longer list. You need to finish something on it. NOW TRY IGNORING ME Close the app. I'm still on your Home Screen with widgets, notifications that keep your five tasks visible. Even extra-large ones. Apparently, you needed a bigger hint. Live Activities and Dynamic Island keep your current task in view. Control Center and the Action Button put me one action away. I meet you where you already are, so remembering to open your task app isn't another task. I'LL ROAST YOU INTO GETTING THINGS DONE Set reminders and I'll follow up with notifications, personal nudges, and roast widgets that call out the tasks you're avoiding. My on-device AI makes those reminders relevant to your list. Check things off, build your streak, and give me less to complain about. That's accountability. With an uncle attached. HANDS FULL? I EVEN BROUGHT SIRI Ask Siri AI to add a task, find one, change it, or mark it done. You can also delete tasks or ask for a summary, without opening the app. You don't even have to lift a finger to manage your list. Running low on excuses yet? TOO LAZY TO TYPE? TALK OR POINT. Yap your thoughts to me and I'll turn them into tasks using Core AI. To-dos on paper or a whiteboard? Point your camera. Snap uses the Foundation Vision Model to bring them into your list. However your to-dos show up, I'll help you capture them. Finishing them is still your job. YOUR TASKS. YOUR BUSINESS. A complete iOS 27 experience, built around helping you get things done. My task AI runs on your iPhone, with a model made for Rudy working alongside Apple Foundation Models. No account. No sign-up. No cloud. I'll judge your list. I'll also keep it private. RUDY PRO Uncle Rudy is free to use. Rudy Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited AI features and the full widget collection. No subscription. No auto-renewal. Unlock once and keep Pro. Five tasks. What's your excuse now?
