## What is Tasks?

Add and keep track of tasks easily and seamlessly. Re-create previous tasks immediately and use keywords to instantly get suggested timings.

How it works:
• When starting your task, put your device face down. This ensures you will remain focused on your task.
• If you decide to pick up your phone, the app will provide you with a personalized message to encourage you to put your phone back down and get back to your task.
• Once your task is done, the phone will flash repeatedly and vibrate to alert you that the task is done.
• When you pick it up after that, it will​ show a screen raining with confetti if you have managed to resist the temptation of using your phone for the entire duration.
• There is a frequently used section, which makes it convenient for you to choose your most-used tasks!

This app is designed for iPhones and works best on iPhones.

This app was created by:

• Yee Jia Chen - Developer​
• Shannen Samuel Rajoo - UI/UX Designer
• Ryan Lim - Admin

Created under the Swift Accelerator Program in Singapore.

### 5/5 — Tasks

*2018-11-29*

This app really helped me a lot. Minor bugs but overall a decent app

### 1/5 — I DONT recommend this app

*2018-11-05*

Not a good app at all!! I didn’t even have it for 5 minutes until I deleted it. Every time I would click on the edit button it would crash and send me back to the beginning. Waste of time!
