Unrush: Morning Routine Timer

Up early and still late? That isn’t a willpower problem. Time is hard to see, and mornings need a system. Unrush is an iPhone app that plans your morning backward from the minute you need to leave, for school, work, class or the school run, then walks you through it one step at a time.

You tell it when you need to leave, list what you do in the morning, put it in order and guess how long each thing takes. Unrush adds a minute between tasks and a few minutes before the door, and tells you exactly when to start. In the morning it shows one task at a time with a shrinking timer and how many minutes you have to spare, on your Lock Screen too, with a gentle alert when a task’s time is up. Running late? It offers a shorter version of your plan, never a red screen.

Your wake-up and “leave in 5 minutes” alarms come straight from your plan and ring even on silent. Evening prep takes five minutes: pick tomorrow’s outfit, check your bag, and see how late you can sleep. Three looks, Orbit, Aurora and Horizon, and Ziggy, a tiny sidekick who does each step with you, make it yours; Ziggy, sounds and motion each switch off if you prefer it plain.

Your routine, notes and history stay on your iPhone. There is no account, no login and no server of ours holding your mornings. No ads, and no tracking across apps. Optional iCloud sync goes only between your own devices.

Unrush needs an iPhone with iOS 26 or later. It is free: planning, alarms, alerts, running-late mode, the Calm corner and evening prep, with no subscriptions, no coins and no random rewards.

Unrush is a planning tool, not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a professional.
