「気が重い」タスクを「とりあえず」に変え、リマインダーをほぐす。 重くて手を付けられないタスクや、何からやるか迷うToDo。 その原因は、あなたが怠けているからではなく「最初のハードルの高さ」にあります。 WorkPath(ワークパス)は、普段使っているiPhoneの「リマインダー」と自動同期し、タスクを今すぐできる「5分・1動作」レベルまで小さくほぐすアプリです。 「資料を作る」ではなく「ファイルを1つ開く」。 「ギターの練習」ではなく「ケースから出してスタンドに立てる」。 行動心理学に基づいたアプローチで着手の抵抗感をなくし、リストの山に圧倒されることなく、目の前の1歩だけに集中できます。 1枚ずつそっとめくりたくなるカード状のUIと、静かな集中を支えるタイマーが、あなたを自然と作業モードへ導きます。 脳を動かす「作業興奮」メカニズム ・やる気は「待つ」のではなく「動く」ことで脳の側坐核が刺激され、後から湧いてくるものです。WorkPathは「ケースから取り出すだけ」レベルの極小ステップを作ることで、この作業興奮のスイッチを自然にオンにします。 12の心理学・脳科学エビデンスで「できている自分」を可視化【v1.1 新機能】 ・認知的回避の克服、孵化効果、作業興奮、ツァイガルニク効果、単純接触効果、自己効力感など、12の実証済み理論であなたの行動を加点方式で分析。「スワイプしてタスクを1枚めくった」だけでも、先延ばしの最大の原因を克服した第1歩として科学的に評価します。 心理的ハードルを下げる「カラーフック」 ・タスクの性質や状態に合わせた穏やかなカラーパレットを採用。色彩心理に基づいたデザインが視覚的な圧迫感を和らげ、画面を開いたときの心理的抵抗を減らします。 スモールステップ効果 ・行動療法でも用いられる「達成可能な最小単位への分解」により、達成感の小さな波を作り出します。成功体験の積み重ねが、次の行動への弾みとなります。 利用規約:https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

OKIRO is the alarm that never gives up. Solve a mission — math, shake, typing, memory, steps, photo, or an NFC tag — to prove you're truly awake. NEW: SLEEP ANALYSIS (Pro) Wear an Apple Watch to bed and OKIRO reads last night from Health: stages, heart rate, HRV, breathing, blood oxygen, wrist temperature, even how loud your room got. But a number only answers "what". OKIRO answers "why" — in a sentence. "You had 10 minutes of daylight yesterday, well under your usual, and took 40 minutes to fall asleep." "Your room reached 68 dB overnight and you surfaced 3 times." "You went to bed at close to your usual time. Steady beats long." Every reading is shown against your own normal, so there is nothing to look up. A wrist temperature of 33.6°C tells nobody anything; "0.3° above your normal" tells everybody something. It shows yesterday's daylight and activity alongside the night they shaped — the parts you can actually change before tonight. Export a fortnight as a spreadsheet if you want to show a doctor. Read-only. OKIRO never writes to Health and never uploads anything. NEW: WORK BACKWARDS FROM ARRIVAL (free) Tell it when you need to be somewhere. It subtracts travel and getting-ready time and sets the alarm. No more mental arithmetic at midnight. NEW: SKIP PUBLIC HOLIDAYS (free) A weekday alarm can sit out Japanese public holidays. Worked out on your iPhone — nothing is downloaded. NEW: POWER NAP (free) One tap for a 10–90 minute nap. No mission, and it clears itself away afterwards. NEW: 44 ALARM TONES, SEARCHABLE (Pro for the full set) Temple bell, music box, taiko, an old telephone — plus voices that call you until you're up. Search by name or by mood. TRIPLE-DEFENSE RINGING Apple's iOS 26 alarm system rings through Silent and Focus modes. A notification chain keeps going even with the app closed. And full in-app ringing drives you to the mission. WAKE CHECK (Pro) A few minutes after you stop the alarm, OKIRO asks if you're still up. No answer, and it rings again. PARTNER SILENT MODE (Pro, Apple Watch) Wake up without waking whoever is next to you. Your Watch buzzes instead of the phone ringing. If the Watch doesn't respond in time, the phone rings normally — you'll never miss an alarm. SLEEP SOUNDS White noise generated on-device, real recordings of rain, waves and fireplace seamlessly looped. Fade-out timer included, no extra downloads. COMPLETELY PRIVATE No account. No ads. No tracking. Not your photos, not your sleep — nothing leaves your phone. OKIRO PRO (subscription) • Sleep analysis, unlimited alarms, all 7 missions, wake check • Partner Silent Mode and smart wake on Apple Watch • All sleep sounds, detailed stats, widgets, all 44 tones • ¥480/month or ¥2,400/year, with a 7-day free trial Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings after purchase.
