A: Though time is continuous, for rapid tracking, we separate time into blocks by half an hour at the expense of accuracy. This period not only meets the need of statistics, but also is convenient for people to remember event. Q: Why make 30 minutes a block? This is not accurate. A: Statistics is meaningful only when people persist for a long time. Look at statistics in week or month, 30 minutes a blocks hardly make negative effects on analysis. Compared to spending more energy to make it accurate, track time quicker, take advantage of saved time on other things makes it better. Q: I have OCD, inaccuracy makes me uncomfortable. A: Just stand back and think about it, if you pursue the accuracy, after every time of record, should you add an event called "Tracking time"? Then it takes some time to track this one, so you have to record again, and then, endless loop… Never spend much time on tracking time, this is truly using time effectively.

Meet PM Cat, your little project manager for everyday life. A home remodel with a dozen moving parts. A birthday you never want to miss. A small reminder to step away from your desk. PM Cat brings tasks, projects, daily routines and meaningful dates together—with a friendly cat by your side. Remember the next step, see your progress and make a little room for what matters. BIG PLANS, SMALL STEPS Turn projects into manageable tasks with due dates and times. Group projects into workspaces or keep them standalone, track completion and see which items need attention. When plans change, archive unfinished projects without losing their items or progress, then restore them whenever you're ready. SMALL HABITS, READY TO GO Start with Sip & Stroll, the official template for drinking water and taking a short walk. Choose your active hours and dates, check in for each activity, snooze for 10 minutes or skip a reminder. Your cat celebrates your little wins. After reminder hours, see your checked and missed totals for water and walks. Create personal templates for routines you use again and again. Save the items and their individual reminder frequencies, then choose dates when you turn a template into a project. MEET YOUR OWN PM CAT Choose Honey, Cloud, Pepper, Scout or Maple—five cat companions with matching animations and daily recap expressions. Give your local profile a name and let your cat send friendly reminders, like “Milo says: time for a sip.” You can also use a photo as your profile picture while keeping your chosen animated companion. REPEAT WHAT MATTERS Keep ongoing tasks on track with daily, weekly, monthly or selected-date schedules. See upcoming occurrences and mark each one complete, so repeated tasks contribute to your project's progress. KEEP MEANINGFUL DATES CLOSE Remember birthdays, anniversaries and personal milestones in Meow-ments. Look forward to upcoming occasions, look back on special memories and set repeat options for dates that come around again. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT, RIGHT ON TIME Reminders name the item needing attention and take you to it with a tap. Home Screen widgets show what's next, and the medium Cat Companion widget supports check-ins for eligible activities. Enjoy animated cat scenes in the app and expanded routine notifications, with matching still illustrations in widgets. SHARE A LITTLE JOY Create share cards for project progress and meaningful occasions. Personal titles stay hidden by default—you choose when to include them.
