Read full descriptionHide full description
TaskDan is a task manager where you complete tasks by flicking cards upward into the completion zone. Instead of tapping a checkbox, send a finished task flying with your finger. TaskDan adds a satisfying physical gesture to the everyday act of getting things done. Create separate projects for work, household tasks, shopping, personal projects, or anything else. Swipe between projects and keep each set of tasks organized. Main Features ・Organize tasks by project ・Add, edit, and delete tasks ・Save a title and memo for each task ・Complete tasks with an upward flick ・Enjoy completion animations, sound, and haptic feedback ・See cards return to their original position when a flick is not completed ・Check the number of tasks completed today ・View completed tasks by date ・Undo completed tasks ・Back up your data ・Restore data from a backup file Task and project data is stored locally on your iPhone. No account registration is required, and the app can be used without an internet connection. Add a task, then flick its card upward. When the gesture has enough distance or speed, the card flies into the completion zone and the task is completed.

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.
