■ 集中力の残量を、燃料計のように。 1 日に集中できる時間の上限を決めると、 「今日はあとどれくらい集中できるか」が、画面の上にずっと見えます。 ■ 3 つのモード Deep: 深い集中。コードを書く、設計を考える、文章を構成するなど。 Drive: 軽い作業。メール・会議・ルーチンワークなど。 Rest : 休息。コーヒーを淹れる、散歩する、ぼんやりするなど。 作業の変わり目に3つのモードを切り替えるだけ。あとは Gear が、そのモードに費やした時間を記録します。 ■ Apple Watch から、すぐ切り替え スマホを伏せて作業に入るとき、手首からワンタップでモードを切り替えられます。 記録のためにスマホを起こす必要はありません。 ■ ちゃんと休めているかも、見える 休憩中もスマホを眺めていた日と、画面から離れていた日。同じ「30分の休憩」でも、戻ったときの頭の軽さは違うかもしれません。 Gear では休憩を Analog(画面オフ) と Digital(画面を見る) で分けて記録できます。 「ちゃんと脳を休められた休憩は、週のうちどれくらいだったか」も、ひと目に。 デジタルデトックスの記録としても使えます。 ■ こんな人に ・午前は集中できるけれど、午後は集中が浅くなる感覚がある ・1日に深く考えられる時間が減ってきたと感じている ・タスク管理ではなく、認知リソースの記録が欲しい ・休憩中もスマホを見てしまい、休めていない気がする ・作業中にスマホから離れて集中したい。 ■ できること ・1日の集中時間の上限を決めて、残量をホーム画面で常時表示 ・3モード(Deep/Drive/Rest)の時間を、タイマーで自動記録 ・休憩を Analog/Digital で分けて記録、週で振り返り ・Apple Watch からの切替・停止・休憩タグ付け ・Live Activity / Dynamic Island で、アプリを開かず状況確認 ・iOS 集中モード ON で Gear のモードも自動切替 ・モードごとに残せる一言メモ、8種のカラーテーマ ■ データの取り扱い 記録した集中・休息のログ、メモは、あなたの iPhone の中だけに保存されます。アカウント登録なし、広告なし。 ---------- 利用規約(EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ プライバシーポリシー:https://www.notion.so/34693295f40f80ce8688eb95268c87f5

Routine Timer & Habit Planner

Features
Read full description

RUU is an app that helps you get through your daily routines. Unlike a regular to-do list, it shows only what to do right now, with a timer. That means less time wondering, “What was I supposed to do next?” RUU is especially useful for people with ADHD who struggle with procrastination, planning backward from a deadline, or forgetting things. WHO RUU IS FOR • You want your morning routine to go more smoothly • You often notice the time you meant to leave has already passed and end up late • You have tried habit apps before but stopped using them after a few days WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH RUU ● Build your own routines Just put the tasks you do every day in order. ● Do one task at a time with a timer See how much time is left for each step and focus only on what you are doing now. ● Hear the current task out loud Even when your hands are full, you’ll know what to do next. ● Run routines from your Apple Watch Keep going without opening your iPhone and getting pulled into something else. ● “Quick mode” for hard days Turn it on to skip every nonessential task at once. Use it to skip cleaning or studying on days when you’re at your limit. ● Add branches Put different paths into a single routine. For example: rainy days or sunny days, weekdays or weekends. WHAT RUU DOES NOT DO × Streak tracking RUU does not include statistics showing how many days you have kept a habit going. Breaking a streak can hurt a little. And if that makes you abandon the habit itself, the tracking has defeated the point. If you’re okay with that, give RUU a try! I hope it makes each day a little easier.
