Shitakuは、出発前の支度を工程ごとに時間管理できる支度タイマーアプリです。 シャワー、着替え、メイク、ヘアセット、朝食、持ち物確認、玄関準備など、出発前に必要な工程を登録し、それぞれの予定時間に沿って進められます。 「今どの工程をやるのか」「あと何分で出発なのか」「予定より早いのか遅れているのか」が一目で分かるので、出発前のバタバタを減らしやすくなります。 よく使う支度はテンプレートとして保存できます。 仕事前の準備、しっかりお出かけ、朝の時短準備、休日の外出など、いつもの支度パターンをすぐに始められます。 ■ 主な機能 ・支度工程ごとのタイマー管理 ・出発予定時刻からの逆算 ・テンプレート作成 ・テンプレートを使わない一回限りの支度作成 ・工程ごとの完了、一時停止、スキップ ・ローカル通知 ・ウィジェット ・Live Activity / Dynamic Island対応 ・実行結果の記録 ・工程ごとの予定時間と実績時間の比較 ・アプリ内カレンダーでの履歴確認 ■ こんな人におすすめ ・出発前に慌てがちな人 ・毎朝の支度時間を整えたい人 ・メイクやヘアセットなど、準備工程が多い人 ・予定時間から逆算して行動したい人 ・自分の支度に何分かかるか把握したい人 ・仕事前、通院前、旅行前、イベント前の準備をスムーズにしたい人 Shitakuは、ToDoを増やすためのアプリではありません。 いつもの支度を、時間で整えるためのアプリです。 出発までの準備を見える化して、余裕のある毎日へ。

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.
