↓ What’s inside
What's inside

Six doors.
One at a time.

Each chapter is a door that's meant to be open for you. Rū just shows you where the handle is.

IdentityTuakiri

Birth certificate, photo ID, RealMe — the documents that unlock everything else.

MoneyPūtea

Your IRD number, a bank account, the $1,200 re-establishment grant.

HousingKāinga

The housing register, bond help, emergency options — and your rights as a tenant.

HealthHauora

Enrolling with a doctor, mental-health support, who to call at 3am.

Your rightsNgā Tika

The support you can still ask for after you leave care — and how to ask.

Work & studyMahi Ako

Jobseeker, student allowance, scholarships — money for whatever's next.

No login. No account.

You never tell Rū who you are. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to leak.

Nothing leaves your phone.

No tracking, no analytics. Your progress lives on your phone, backed up by one private link only you hold.

Delete it any time.

Start fresh and it's gone — your ticks, your reminders, your backup. For real.
