I built a routine app because most productivity apps somehow make me less productive
So… while learning React Native, I decided to build a “small side project.”
Naturally, that turned into me obsessing over why every productivity app either:
overwhelms me with 47 features I’ll never use, or
makes me feel guilty by Wednesday.
I realized the problem wasn’t planning my routine.
The problem was actually following it once my brain entered “let’s reorganize the desk instead of doing literally anything important” mode.
So I built Roz.
It’s a simple routine tracker that guides you step by step with timers and smart notifications — instead of dumping a massive to-do list on your face first thing in the morning.
The whole idea is:
👉 less thinking
👉 less decision fatigue
👉 just do the next thing
Also, everything is stored locally on-device because honestly not every app needs to know my bedtime routine and hydration habits.
I’m not super active on Product Hunt, but I’d genuinely love feedback from people here:
• What makes you abandon productivity apps after a week?
• Do you prefer simple apps or highly customizable systems?
• What’s the most unrealistic routine you’ve ever planned for yourself? (mine probably involved waking up at 5am consistently 💀)
Would love your honest thoughts 🙌
