## What is TAKE?

Track time the easy way! The app makes logging time a piece of cake while also helping to stay focused.

The app gives an insight into your daily habits and helps you to understand better what you spend your time on. It relies on notifications to periodically ask what you are doing and also provides a way to answer on the go (use dictation to make it faster!). Don't worry though, interacting with arriving notification is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible.

It is an ideal app if you are interested in:
- time tracking
- a reliable way of logging time
- reducing procrastination
- increasing productivity

How it works:
