About RunDown - Deadline Engine
RunDown is a deadline pressure system — not a to-do list, not a calendar. Set a goal with a hard deadline. Break it into sequential steps that must complete in order. Watch the countdown tick. If a step falls behind, your entire goal goes AT RISK. • One big countdown that dominates your screen • Sequential dependency chain — Step 1 blocks Step 2 • Health status: On Track → At Risk → Critical • Smart notifications at 3 days, 1 day, and overdue • Home screen & lock screen widgets • Dark mode only — built for focus • Max 3 goals — this app resists becoming a list Example: Goal is "Buy New Car" by May 16. Step 1: Sell existing car — by Apr 15 Step 2: Get cash in hand — by Apr 22 Step 3: Sort paperwork — by May 1 Step 4: Finalize insurance — by May 10 Fall behind on Step 1? Everything downstream turns red. RunDown keeps you honest.
