Amazing Marvin vs hey!

Amazing Marvin is a to-do list and daily planner you can customize, one feature at a time. WHY IT WORKS THIS WAY Different things work for different people. The method that changed your colleague's life can feel like a straitjacket on you. The setup you loved in March can stop working in June. That is normal. So Marvin does not hand you a fixed system. Turn on the features you need, and disable the ones you don't. What users are saying: "So customizable, that when I feel I start to get bored, I can change my flow or strategy & it feels like a brand new app." If you have ever abandoned a setup because you got bored of it, you will love Marvin. PLANNING YOUR DAY - Day planner, where each day gets its own list rather than one endless pile - Duration estimates and a capacity bar that tells you when you have planned more than the day actually holds - Do dates and due dates kept separate, so "work on it Tuesday" is not the same as "it is due Tuesday" - Two-way calendar sync - Week planning, with tasks dragged between days to even out the load - Nested projects and categories, labels, smart lists, recurring tasks - A backburner for someday, kept out of sight of today STARTING IS THE OTHER HALF Knowing what to do and being able to begin are two different problems, and the second is where most days come apart. A lot of Marvin is built for that exact moment: - Accountability Pledge: put money on a task. If you do not finish it, you pay. - Procrastination Wizard: an interactive walk-through of why you are stuck and what to try next - Task breakdown: split something until the first step is small enough to be boring - Super Focus Mode: everything hidden except the one task - The Task Jar: when choosing is the problem, let it choose for you - Dread levels and Eat the Frog, so the thing you are avoiding stops being invisible - Truncated lists, showing two or three items at a time instead of forty KEEPING TRACK, OR NOT Time tracking, Time goals, Pomodoro targets, Habits, Points and Rewards are all here (optional). BUILT WITH LOVE, BY A SMALL TEAM Marvin has been in development for nearly ten years and is still made by a very small team that reads its own support email. It is funded by the people who use it, which is why it has no ads, no data selling and no investors to grow for. ON YOUR PHONE The Marvin phone app syncs with the web and desktop versions. Capture on the bus, plan at your desk, or do all of it from your pocket. Free 14-day trial, no card required. SUBSCRIPTION After the free trial, Amazing Marvin is $11.99 per month or $96 per year.

You opened your phone to check one thing. Somehow, you're still here. hey! is a little taro pal called Taro. He lives in a room on your phone and watches only the apps you choose. When time in them runs long, he asks: "Hey, you still with me?" Take a break and he adds 5 coins. Keep using and he steps out of the way. Nothing is ever locked. MEET TARO Taro's mood goes okay, good, glowing. Breaks lift it, snacks lift it, and it drifts back to okay on its own — it never drops lower. There's nothing you can do to make it worse, and nothing to lose by coming back after a week away. Check in with your own mood any time; Rhythm remembers it. COINS FOR EVERY BREAK Every break you take earns 5 coins, and the check-in says so before you choose. Coins do one thing: they buy things for Taro. WORK TOGETHER Sit down with Taro for a light session: 25 minutes on, 5 off, for one, two or four rounds. Pick what you're working on. Finish and earn 30 coins, plus 10 more for finishing every round you planned. End early and you keep what you finished. Pause whenever you need to. During a round Taro checks in the moment you open one of your apps, instead of waiting out the usual delay. Keep using still works. SNACKS AND KEEPSAKES Spend coins in the Shop. Treats — a strawberry, a rice ball, a cookie — lift Taro's mood a little, and water is free once a day. Keepsakes like a mug, a plant, a lamp or a cushion go into his room and stay there for good. GIFTS YOU CAN'T BUY Sometimes Taro finds you something: a pebble by the door, a pressed leaf, a seedling he grew while you worked. Gifts are never for sale. They sit on the From Taro shelf with the day they arrived. YOUR WEEK, NOT YOUR SCORE Rhythm shows the breaks you took, how you've been feeling, the sessions you ran and every gift on the shelf. No streak to break. No day that counts against you. Nothing resets. ON FOR FOCUS Add hey! as a Focus Filter in iPhone Settings. Taro wakes when that Focus turns on and rests when it turns off. The app walks you through setup. Manual sessions are there when you'd rather start one yourself.
