A day isn't a list. It's one line you follow — and the line never breaks, however the day goes. Linsu is a calm, manual planner for daily routines. It shows you one step at a time, instead of a wall of tasks to get through before you can start. It was built for adults with ADHD, and it works for anyone whose day doesn't fit a standard planner. ONE STEP AT A TIME • The current step fills the screen. Finish it, and the next one arrives. • A live finish time, recalculated as you go, so you can see where the day lands. • Optional timers per step — on where they help, off where they don't. SKIPPING NEVER FAILS ANYTHING • Skip, reorder, or jump ahead at any point. Nothing gets marked as failed. • No streaks to break, no guilt notifications. The summary counts what you did. • Unfinished things roll gently into tomorrow instead of turning red. YOUR DAY, NOT JUST YOUR SCHEDULE • Anchored items sit at their time. "Sometime today" items don't need one. • Six starter routines — Morning, Wind down, Out the door, Focus reset, Tidy sprint, Work shutdown — so the first screen is never blank. First routine in under a minute, with no questionnaire to answer. • Reminders that actually arrive: timed steps are scheduled and re-checked, with an optional extra heads-up before each one. BUILT TO BE COMFORTABLE • Low-sensory mode: calmer colors, less motion. • Celebrations are optional, and off in low-sensory mode. • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support. YOUR LISTS CANNOT DISAPPEAR Every change is written to an append-only journal on your device, so nothing is quietly overwritten. Undo any change. Export a backup file whenever you like. NO ACCOUNT. NO ANALYTICS. NOTHING SOLD. Version 1.0 has no server and no backend. There is no sign-up and no tracking, everything except buying Pro works with no connection, and nothing you write leaves your iPhone. HONEST PRICING Your first routine is free, with every feature: timers, reminders, the today list, backups. There are no ads. Linsu Pro unlocks unlimited routines. • $4.99 per month, or $39.99 per year • US prices; the App Store sets your local price, and the app shows it before you commit to anything • Billing goes through the App Store only. Cancel any time in iOS Settings → Subscriptions — no emails, no retention hoops • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. SUPPORT Something broken, confusing, or missing? Email support@linsu.app — mentioning what happened right before helps a lot.

It is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat, or give advice about any condition.
