Visual Timer & Day Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
A gentle day planner that lays today out as pictures and bands of time. A list of words is hard to hold in your head, and not knowing what comes next is unsettling. This is a planner you can see. - How long something takes, shown as the size of a block - Plans are laid out as coloured blocks with an emoji, and the length of the band is the length of the time. "How much longer" and "what is next" are answerable at a glance. - Nothing tells you off - There are no marks for what you did not do, no completion rates and no streaks. A finished plan is finished; an unfinished one is "this far for today". That is all. You are not scored. - Notifications that do not hurry you - A notification says only that it is time for something. No urgent words, no exclamation marks. - Made to be safe to use - No ads - Everything stays inside this device only (nothing is sent anywhere) - No photos and no personal details are collected Daily routines repeat by day of the week, and a one-off for today can be added on top. Colours and emoji are yours to choose. Because you can see it, it is easier to keep going. Gently, quietly, today made visible.

Verdict
