LifeTower is a Game Interface for Life. 1. Each day you build a floor to grow your Tower. 2. Then you fill it with your activities. It is NOT a To-Do app Let's be honest, there are enough of them already. No one needs another app to give them more guilt about everything they haven't done. It is a Have-Done app You only log things you already did.  That way you can look back and see what you've accomplished. It's a great way to stay motivated and keep track of your progress.
