The app was initially developed to manage personal lifestyle projects managed as a simple to-do list with just a few inputs. There was also a strong focus on effectively managing the personal aspects of large-scale projects. Since its initial development, it has been improved by adding convenience and professional functions, such as the function list at the bottom, to enable easy and detailed project management. It will help you keep track of and manage your overall progress rather than simply managing it as a to-do list. With the concept of a project, we can define many things in our daily life as a project. As a simple example, you could create a project called 'Drive my car'. To drive your own car, you can create a task called 'get a driver's license' and a task called 'buy a car'. To the task called 'get a driver's license', you can add to-do lists such as 'Study for driver's license test', 'Driver's license test', and 'Attend driving school'. For a to-do called 'Driver's license test', you can break the to-do down into small lists that include the driver's license test steps. You can also put a to-do list for the task called ‘Buy a Car’, such as ‘Get Car Prices Online’, ‘Visit a Car Dealer’, ‘Buy a Car’, etc. If you have a deadline, such as a license exam, you can also set a deadline and, if necessary, set an alarm to notify you 30 minutes in advance. For tasks that have a fixed number of times, such as going to a driving school, you can manage the progress conveniently by setting the maximum progress to the number of times. For tasks, it automatically calculates and displays progress based on the progress of the to-dos. As you proceed with the project, you may leave a project log saying, “I need to get used to using the accelerator pedal because driving is too slow at the driving school test site.” We do not do just one project in our daily life, such as ‘driving a car’. This app allows you to create and manage as many projects as you want. You can convert your project to text and share it, edit it with other programs, or back it up. This example is for a lifestyle project. This can also be applied to private parts of your organization's projects. This is an offline app that stores all your data on your device. Many features have been updated based on user reviews. If you feel any inconvenience or lack of functionality, please leave a review.
