Cuebird

See the time, hear your next step, walk out the door on time. Cuebird turns any routine (morning, lunch break, bedtime) into small, timed, color-coded steps and moves you through them automatically. Now the people you live with can do it with you. Built for neurodivergent adults. Kind to every brain.

DO IT TOGETHER Link the people you live with into a household. Start a routine for your household and everyone gets a gentle offer to jump in, landing exactly where you already are rather than back at step one. Joining is one tap and sitting one out is free: nobody is ever told either way. Be in more than one household at once, your own and the one at your mum's, and every routine says which one it came from. It all travels through your own iCloud. Cuebird has no servers and cannot read any of it.

TIME YOU CAN SEE While a routine runs, the whole screen becomes the current step's color. From across the room, mid-shower, without reading anything: blue means shower, amber means coffee. Every routine also shows a color bar of its steps, so you can see the shape of your time before you start.

OUT THE DOOR ON TIME Set when a routine starts and when you have to be done. Cuebird shows the window, adds up your steps, and tells you plainly whether they fit. Running late? One control compresses the whole routine proportionally so you still walk out on time.

HEAR YOUR NEXT STEP A chime marks every transition, or let Cuebird speak: "Next: Shower, 10 minutes." A wrap-up warning gives a 30-second heads-up before longer steps end. Prefer quiet? Silent mode keeps it to haptics. You can also record any step in your own voice. Recordings stay on your device.

REAL ALARMS, NOT NOTIFICATIONS Give a routine a start time and days, and it rings with the system's full-screen alarm: through silent mode, through Focus, even with the app closed. Tap Start and you're already in the routine.

BUILT THE WAY YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY WORKS One routine can ring at several times, each with its own days: weekdays at 7:00, weekends at 9:00. Your list sorts itself around today, with the next one badged. The Schedule view shows everything that will ring this week.

REUSE WHAT REPEATS Build a group of steps once, link it into every routine that needs it, and change it in one place.

IT LEARNS YOUR REAL TIMING Cuebird records every run and shows how long your routine ACTUALLY takes versus what you planned: "Morning really takes 42 minutes, not 35." It shows which step you skip most and where you run over, then updates your plan with one tap.

STARTING IS ONE TAP Every routine has a play button right on its card. No menus between you and momentum. Or let a real alarm start it. For the times you do not need a whole routine, Quick Timer and Ring Me At are one tap away.

NO SHAME BUILT IN Pause says "no rush." Skipping is a first-class button, and if you skipped by mistake you can undo it. Need a minute back? Take one. Finishing celebrates every single run, and one missed day never breaks your streak. That is what the habit-formation research actually says. Cuebird never scolds you.
