Tasker - Task Manager is an app to keep YOU organized. The tasks are clearly readable and sorted by the time you want it done, so you don't have to dig into a pile of mess that is a list of things you don't care about at the moment. The list is separated into timeframes, so you know how free you are today, tomorrow, or in the future. If you want to help translate this app to your language, let me know. My contact is literally in the app. Also, if you prefer this app with all its features but littered with ads, let me know. I absolutely love money, but I care more about your experience using the app. I still have more features are coming in future updates, so stay tuned.
