Your whole day
in one calm place.
Notes, checklists, reminders and habits — jotted down in seconds, then turned into a daily brief that nudges you to act. Whatever you don't finish quietly moves to tomorrow.
Everything a day needs. Nothing it doesn't.
A tracker that tells you what to do next.
Each morning Rote reads your day and hands you one place to start — carried-over tasks, today's reminders, your streak, and a single nudge. Not a list to admire. A move to make.

One line in, one keystroke.
The capture bar is always a tap away: type the thing, press return, it's on today's list. Need more than a task? The compose sheet files notes, timed reminders and habits with two taps — and on the Mac, a global shortcut summons a capture field over whatever you're doing.
Nothing gets lost at midnight.
Unfinished items move to tomorrow on their own — marked, not multiplied. Recurring ones start fresh instead.
Always a keystroke away.
On Mac, Rote lives in the menu bar with your remaining count on show — and the countdown, when a focus session is running. Press ⌥space anywhere to capture a thought. Tick something off on either device and the other already knows.
A timer, attached to the task.
Long-press any item on your checklist and start a 25-minute block on it. The dial follows you into the Mac menu bar while you work, and taps you on the shoulder when the block is done.
Buy it once. Keep it.
One payment covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. No subscription, no tiers, no upsell inside the app.
Questions, answered.
Do I need an account?
No — ever. Sync uses the iCloud account already on your device, so there is nothing to create, verify or sign in to.
Where is my data stored?
On your devices, synced through Apple CloudKit in your private iCloud database. You own it; we run no servers and never see it.
Does Rote work offline?
Fully. Your device is the source of truth and every screen reads locally; CloudKit catches the sync up whenever you reconnect.
What does carry-over actually do?
An unfinished one-off task moves to today and gets a “carried” badge — moved, never duplicated. Repeating tasks start fresh each day instead of piling up.
Can I get my data out?
It never leaves your reach in the first place: everything is stored as plain, readable files on device and in your own iCloud. No lock-in, nothing held hostage.
Is there an Android or Windows app?
Not yet. Rote is built natively for iPhone, iPad and Mac first — the same purchase covers all three.
