Ever-flowing, ever-changing time

Every task lives
somewhere in time.

Every task has a place in time. As a deadline nears, the task grows warm and begins to pulse. Senru isn’t a list to grind through — it’s a task app for feeling how your time flows.

Senru’s timeline. Tasks colored by the heat of their deadlines flow down the river toward NOW.

A single canvas

Not a list to clear.
A time to feel.

There’s just one thing on screen: a single timeline. Every task sits somewhere along it — future → now → past. The future is possibility, hazy and compressed up high; the present is felt most vividly; the past settles quietly below.


Living matter — Heat

As the deadline nears,
the task grows warm.

Color means one thing here — the heat of a deadline. As time runs out, a task shifts from amber to red, and only the truly urgent ones quietly pulse. Calm days stay neutral and spacious; only when it matters does the tension rise. The app’s mood mirrors yours.

Natural language — Capture

One line, and it lands.

Type “proposal by 3pm tomorrow.” Senru parses the time on-device — fast and private. Preview the result before you commit, and the task flies to its rightful spot on the timeline. English or Japanese, just as you wrote it.

On-device parsing
No server. Dates, times, and repeats are read right on your device.
Drag to reschedule
Slide a task along the timeline — its position becomes the new deadline.

Perspective — Density

Distant days cluster,
near ones stay sharp.

We perceive tomorrow vividly and next month vaguely. Senru turns that straight into layout: today is spread out by the hour, while next week and next month fold into bundles like “This week ×4.” Folding isn’t a feature — it’s perspective. Tap a bundle to open it.

Logarithmic time scale
High resolution near now; logarithmically compressed as it recedes.
“Someday” — no deadline
Vague wishes live in the mist. Pull a date toward them when you’re ready.

Universal search

Find everything,
in one search.

Search across your timeline, completed, and trash all at once. Results carry each task’s status and time left, and you can complete, reschedule, repeat, or restore right there — without ever leaving the single canvas.

Timeline / Done / Trash, together
Results grouped by status, with per-row actions in one flow.

Heat-linked escalation

Ambient, not interruptive.

From the jab of a point notification to a calm, ambient presence. The strength of a notification tracks the heat of the task. Only when it’s truly close does Senru gently tap your shoulder.

STAGE 01

Silence

Far out, it stays completely quiet — flowing by as open space.

STAGE 02

Live Activity

As heat builds, a live countdown rises on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

STAGE 03

A heads-up

Only when it’s truly close: an alert that reaches you even through a Focus, plus a gentle nudge. The only interruption.

STAGE 04

Overdue

If it passes, one quiet note — and no nagging after that.


In the details

The more you touch it,
the better it feels.

Restraint that shows up only at the moments that matter — plus ways to feel your time without ever opening the app.

The feel of done

The instant you finish, a warm release — a soft haptic and a gentle tone. The task sinks and gathers into the past.

Repeating tasks

Daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, every N days. Finish one and it advances to the next. Only the next occurrence ever sits on the timeline.

Manual alarms

“Remind me the night before.” Add a reminder at any time you like, separate from the deadline.

Widgets, Lock Screen, StandBy

The heat and time left of your nearest task — without opening the app. StandBy conveys it at night without relying on color.

Siri & Shortcuts

Capture with a single phrase from anywhere — Spotlight and Control Center included.

CloudKit sync

Sync seamlessly across your devices. * Requires signing in to iCloud.


Aesthetic

Neutral throughout —
only heat has color.

The background is deep ink, or a paper-like near-neutral. Because the UI never asserts color, only the heat of a deadline stands out. Light or dark, its character never changes.

Every task lives somewhere in time.
Past. Present. Future.
