Welcome to RouzMe

Who doesn't have a painfully long list in their lives? Whether it's Likes in a music app, or lists of to-do's, books to read or movies to watch, the sheer length of a list can be overwhelming.

But help is here! RouzMe moves you to actually do stuff. Use RouzMe to help you organize and track the ideas, goals, and interests you've had nagging at you.

Think of it as a way to keep track of all those things you say "I've been meaning to…" about.

The app helps you:

• Keep your Ideas organized into collections (Pursuits), with notes reminding you where they came from and/or why they're here;
• Link your Ideas to external resources like movies, books, music, and more;
• Get a random (more or less) suggestion when you're ready to act;
• Track what you've accomplished;
• Get ideas from others and share yours.

Pursuits are the main way to organize your ideas. Each pursuit represents a type of activity or interest.

Examples of Pursuits:

• "Watch a Movie"
• "Read a Book"
• "Try a Restaurant"
• "Learn a Skill"
• "Visit a Place"

Within each pursuit, you add individual Ideas — the specific things you want to do. For example, in "Watch a Movie", you might add "The Godfather", "Blade Runner", or "Spirited Away".

You can share your Pursuits with others, or keep them private for your eyes only.

You can add links pointing to external resources for your Ideas. This makes it easy to jump directly to relevant content.

Supported link types:

• Streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, etc.)
• Music services (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal)
• Websites and articles
• Any other URL you want to save

When you add a link, the app will try to automatically fetch information like titles and descriptions. For some services (like movies and music), it can even find where content is available to stream.

Pro tip: Just paste a URL into the headline when adding a new Idea, and the app will handle the rest!

Perfect for recording ideas for articles to read, videos to watch, recordings to play, or anything else you come across in the wild world online. Once you send something to RouzMe, it will help you keep it as an Idea.

"Sending something" is a little different if you're on mobile (phone, pad) or in a browser. On mobile, you use the device's Share feature. Most apps will have this icon somewhere: . Tap that to start the process, then find and tap the RouzMe icon.

In a browser, the "Send to RouzMe" browser extension does the same from any web page. Get the extension for Chrome here, which will land the RouzMe icon () to the right of the address bar:

Either way, RouzMe will start a new Idea from the shared material. Then you can edit the Idea to suit (change the title, add a note reminding you why it's there, choose the pursuit to keep it under...), then hit Create to save it for posterity.

Already have a list of things you've been meaning to do? You can import them in bulk from other sources.

How to import:

Supported import formats:

• Plain text files in a variety of formats (see Example Formats below)
• JSON files (one item per line)
• CSV files (spreadsheets exported from Excel, Google Sheets, etc.)
• Letterboxd (for movie watchlists)
• JustWatch (for streaming content)
• Other structured data formats

This is perfect if you're migrating from another app or have been keeping lists in spreadsheets. Import hundreds of items at once instead of entering them one by one!

From Apple Notes (and similar apps)

Have a list sitting in Apple Notes? There are two easy ways to bring it over, and each line becomes its own Idea:

• Copy and paste (most reliable): In Notes, tap into the note, choose Select All, and Copy. Then in RouzMe open "Add a List of Ideas" and paste.
• Share the selection (on an iPhone): In Notes, select the note's text, tap Share on the *selection*, and choose RouzMe. Use the text selection's Share button — not the note's Share button in the top corner, which tends to offer an iCloud collaboration link instead of the text itself.

Obviously the list of tasks will need to land under some Pursuit. When the Add A List Of Tasks window opens in RouzMe, you can select an existing Pursuit at the top of the screen, or hit the last item in that popup list to create a new one.

Note: for checklist items imported this way, items that were checked off in Notes will be marked Complete in RouzMe: they won't be suggested unless you uncheck them as a task in RouzMe.

Example Formats

Plain text (a bare URL on a line has its title fetched automatically):

Movie Title 1
Movie Title 2
https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/inception

JSON (one item per line):

{"title": "Inception", "link": "https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/inception"}
{"title": "The Matrix", "link": "https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-matrix"}

JSON array:

[{"title": "Inception"}, {"title": "The Matrix", "link": "https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-matrix"}]

If you want to share your accumulated wisdom, you can let anyone see (but not change!) any of your Pursuits. Here's how:

PS: To manage your shares, both incoming and outgoing, hit the "Shared With Me" item on the main menu (top right).
