About

BananaToDo

This productivity app uses a unique banana theme to encourage task completion. Tasks, or 'ToDos', will rot and become inaccessible over time, motivating users to tackle them before they expire.

Highlights
  • Time-sensitive ToDos
  • Rotting task decay
  • Banana motif
  • Task completion motivation
  • Simple interface

Find yourself postponing e-mails to clients? I've been putting off "things I can do tomorrow" for a year, now… Does that sound like you? What you need is an extra push -- in the form of forceful ToDos. This may look like an ordinary ToDo list with a banana motif… But ToDos rot as time passes. Once a ToDo rots, you will be unable to check its content. Time to buckle down and clear ToDos before they rot!
