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.

タイマーとプリセット機能のみ。シンプルなポモドーロタイマーで、作業に没入しましょう。 【アプリについて】 タイマー、プリセット、通知。Aideの機能はこれだけです。 記録、実績、グラフ、ランキング、BGM、育成要素等は一切ありません。 目指したのは「集中するための時間を測る」という、ただそれだけの役割に徹することです。 道具は、使う人の目的を遂行するための手段であって、使い続けること自体が目的になってしまっては本末転倒だと考えています。 「今日も継続した」という満足感より先に、目の前の作業に集中できること。 Aideはその一点だけを大切にしています。 【主な機能】 ・タイマー  シンプルなポモドーロタイマー機能です。 ・プリセット  集中時間・休憩時間・サイクルを細かく設定できます。  「25分」にこだわらず、自分に合ったリズムを見つけてください。 ・プリセットの切り替え  プリセット選択ボタンから、適用したいプリセットを選ぶだけ。  ホーム画面を離れることなく、すぐに切り替えられます。 【こんな方におすすめです】 ・タイマーアプリに、余計な機能を求めていない方 ・記録や実績よりも、今この瞬間の集中を大切にしたい方 ・自分だけの集中/休憩サイクルを見つけたい方 【価格について】 無料でご利用いただけます(広告表示あり)。 広告を非表示にしたい場合は、アプリ内課金にてご購入いただけます。
