User reviews

Organized, focused, and productive

I have tried what feels like everything to try to organize my calendar, my to-do list, my goals, but nothing has worked as as well as by Design. Digital planners limit your view to one thing at a time, and few will bring in multiple calendars at once including shared calendars. With ByDesign I have all the pieces of my work and personal life available as well as compartmentalized. I love the dashboard where I can see everything, all the pieces at once if I want to. I love how easy it is to turn my goals into actionable items on a specific day. I just love everything about this program. With it available on my PC, Mac, and smart phone, I can add, update, and check things anywhere, anytime. I know this review sounds kind of like an ad, but I’m just a user and I really love it.

Best Productivity Tool on the Market

This tool has transformed the way I work. Best in class customization as well as all of the industry standard tools and features. Additionally, the support team at ByDesign is truly the best out there.

Such a great app

I think if there was a way to see how much time of days until an event . Like days until a project is due. Or something. If not it is great as is and I think it has great potential! I can’t afford a subscription but I’m sure it’s fairly reasonable for anyone.
Good luck! Would try again

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am really glad you are enjoying the app, and I appreciate the suggestion about showing days until an event or deadline. That is a helpful idea and something we will explore. I also understand about the subscription. Thank you for giving ByDesign a try and for the encouragement.

The Only To Do List You’ll Ever Need

I’ve used many tools such as project management software to minimalistic to do lists and scheduling tools. They have their place and use cases, but I enjoy using ByDesign for its simplicity and layout. You get a breakdown on what to do today, things to get done tomorrow and a reminder of why you’re doing what you do. It also has a places to write notes and brain dump your thoughts and plans onto. Overall I enjoy using this tool.

Things to look into. I would love it if there was a way to customize the notifications.

Thanks for making such a great tool!
