Plan&Control combines a modern planner/task management app with a bit of gaming fun. Whenever you create a simple to-do list, more advanced project or a routine you may link it to a space base - it will grow along your project. But beware! Tasks that are overdue degrade your base. Simple reminder or a complex project? Lacking motivation? Plan&Control has got you covered. MAIN FEATURES The app provides three different types of projects that you can use to organise and plan everything from simple chores to complex enterprises: • simple projects - for quick, uncomplicated task lists like grocery shopping • advanced - if you need a multilevel project structure with additional stages and subtasks • routines to track repeated activities - daily workouts for example. Each project type may be linked to a space base development to visualise your performance. There are 3 scenarios*: • distant outpost - build an outpost in a distant galaxy • orbital base - space base somewhere in the depths of the universe (available in paid version only) • mining colony - plants and industrial facilities extracting resources from one of the planets (available in paid version only) All scenarios use unique animated graphics accompanied by sound effects. The style resembles isometric view strategy games. --- Beside the fancy gaming experience Plan&Control offers the best features of task managers and to do lists. Each task may be assigned a priority level or a colour badge to help you organise things visually and mentally. Projects have deadlines and alerts. Routine activities additionally require frequency like daily, weekly, monthly etc. or even "every working day". You can store your data locally on a single device or sync it with others through iCloud. Additionally you can now exchange tasks with the Reminders app or export them to Calendar. Even the most tedious task may be fun. Go ahead - turn your gardening project into a space base! Questions? Feedback?

FarmerDo — Where Every Chore Grows Something Most to-do apps just want a checkmark. FarmerDo wants you to grow a farm. Here's how it works: every task you write down has two halves. Check it off in real life, and your farm opens up with a matching chore waiting for you — water the flowers, milk the cow, go fishing, collect the morning eggs. Walk your farmer over and finish the job, and only then does the task actually count as done. Half-finished tasks sit right there in your list with a little open marker, quietly reminding you that real life and farm life both need closing out. Plant and harvest six different crops. Raise alpacas, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and a small army of pigs, starting them off as babies and working them up to full-grown adults. Cast a line at the fishing spot and hope for one of thirteen real species instead of yet another boot — your Fish Log keeps score either way. Every chore you finish pays out in gold, and every gold coin gets you closer to the animal you've been eyeing in the store. It's a to-do list with a pulse — productive in the real world, oddly soothing in the game one, and sneaky enough to make "water the flowers" feel like a reward instead of a reminder. Real tasks. Real farm. Actually getting things done, twice over.
