Leave on time.
For real this time.
If ten minutes always turns into fifteen, a plan built on your guesses is late before it starts. Shoes On is a time blindness app that plans with how long things really take you.
Works backward from the door
Pick the time you need to walk out and the steps before it. Shoes On lays them out in reverse and nudges you when it is time to start.
Tailored to you
Tell it how far your guesses usually run over. Then tap Done as you finish each step: it learns your real times, and how long you take to get going after the alert.
Knows when you are slipping
The current step, the time left for it, and whether you are on track or minutes behind, in the app, on the Lock Screen, and on Apple Watch.
Change one day
Skip a routine once or set a different leave time for one date. Your usual plan stays ready for the next scheduled day.
See your next start
A Home Screen, Lock Screen, or StandBy widget shows the next start time and counts down during the final hour.
Private and simple
No account. Everything stays on your iPhone. Your first routine is free for good. Shoes On Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription with a one-week free trial, adds every routine and the Apple Watch coach.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good app for time blindness?
Shoes On is a time blindness coach for iPhone and Apple Watch. You set when you need to walk out the door, and it works backward through your routine, learns how long each step really takes you, and tells you when to start.
Is there an ADHD app that helps you leave on time?
Shoes On is built for people who run late because ten minutes keeps turning into fifteen. It plans from your real step times and alerts you to start, but it is a planning aid and does not diagnose or treat ADHD or any other condition.
How do I stop being late when I always underestimate how long things take?
Plan with how long things actually take you, not your guess. Tell Shoes On how far your guesses usually run over and your plan starts earlier from day one, then it learns your real times as you tap Done on each step.
What if my morning goes sideways?
If you miss the get-ready alert, two follow-ups tell you whether starting right now still gets you out the door. If you fall behind mid-routine it offers to drop one later step that wins the time back, and you can skip a routine or set a one-off leave time without changing your usual plan.
Does Shoes On work on Apple Watch?
Yes. The Apple Watch coach shows your step and pace on your wrist and lets you tap Done from there, and it is part of the optional Shoes On Pro. On iPhone, the current step also appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Is Shoes On free?
Your first routine is free for good, with every alert, the Lock Screen view, the widget and all the learning. Shoes On Pro adds every routine and the Apple Watch coach, and prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region.
Do I need an account?
No. Your routines and timings stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
