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?

About

Evolve

Read full description

Evolve is a daily planner that keeps score. Plan your day the way you'd describe it to a friend — "gym at 12, then read an hour, dinner with mom." Evolve reads it and works out what each task does to you, so the only thing you have to do is the thing itself. Then do it. Checking off a task is the payoff: the stat bar fills past its mark and glows, the numbers float up, the XP counts in, your phone taps back. Level-ups get their own moment. What you do shows up in five stats. Strength and Stamina climb with effort. Knowledge climbs with focus. Mental Health climbs with rest and recovery. Hunger drains through the day until you eat. Rough days count too — "skipped lunch, stressed out" moves the numbers the other way, which is what makes the good days mean something. Stay consistent and it compounds. XP becomes levels, levels become named forms — Origin, Riser, Ascending, and five more you'll have to reach. Multi-day streaks unlock perks that boost what you earn. None of it comes from a single task. Look back whenever you want. A radar of where you stand, seven-day trends for every stat, and a recap card each Sunday you can share or keep. All of it stays on your phone. The model that reads your tasks is built into the app and runs offline, with no account and no sign-up. Turn on iCloud and it follows you to your other devices, privately. Do the day. Evolve counts it.
