Ronroo
Psychoeducation app - a manual for your brain
We are creating Ronroo, a cognitive behavioral coach on your phone.
Ronroo helps you resolve decision paralysis, beat procrastination, and build skill in self-regulation. It's a research-based support system for taking control of your life.
Ronroo isn't a habit tracker or task manager. Instead, it teaches you skills and strategies that help you go from overwhelmed to operational.
For Everyone
As a researcher-led team of neurodivergent PhDs, coaches, and developers, we are creating an app for everyone.
Privacy
Your privacy is our priority. We use a user-controlled data approach, all your personal data is only on your device. And the analytics collected do not contain personally identifiable information (PII).
The idea behind the app
Executive functioning is a system of the brain that makes us capable of decision-making, planning and taking action. It is a very sensitive system and is affected by many things, such as sleep, diet, stress, and many mental health conditions. Different brains respond to demands on this system in different ways, and neurodivergent people, such as ADHDers, are more likely to face difficulties in executive functioning.
Executive dysfunction is when the executive functioning system isn't working as it should. It can be short-term or long-term, and can look like…
- Procrastination and anxiety
- Difficulties in decision-making and planning
- Undone tasks at both home and school/work
- Focusing on tasks
- Impulsive behavior, such as impulsive shopping
At Ronroo, our main aim is to support executive functioning in everyone who needs support- regardless of if they have a diagnosis or not. This is because problems in executive functioning are very common, and everyone should have access to the help they need.
How Ronroo works
Ronroo is not a habit tracker or task manager.
In our experience, particularly in people who need lots of support, habit trackers only work for a short period of hyperfocus, after which the user often ends up right where they began.
Instead, expect to encounter….
- Learning strategies through bite-sized information and practice
- Everyone is different. Our tasks and questions help you find out what works for you
- An app learns from your responses and adapts to your needs. No one size fits all
- Working with Ronroo only takes a few minutes a day, and you can work at your own pace. Skip a day if you want to!
- State of the art cybersecurity. Your data is safe, and we will never sell it
In short, Ronroo lets you learn about you - like a cognitive behavioral therapist in your phone, or a user manual for your brain.
