TickDone
Read full descriptionHide full description
TickDone is a goal management software that integrates goal setting, task reminder, and timing statistics. It can help you: * Set goals, establish deadlines, and plan daily time investments. * Break down goals, refining them into specific daily tasks. * Time tasks, tracking the daily execution time for each task. * Analyze and compare the planned time investment with the actual execution time for adjustments and reflection. There are already many time management apps, each with unique features. In my understanding, each app conveys the designer's perspective on time management, and TickDone is no exception. I hope for an app that can break down goals into specific daily tasks, where tasks can have countdowns to aid focus and recording. The recording results can then be compared with the planned time investment to form a self-management loop. TickDone is such an app, embodying my understanding of the elements needed for achieving goals, striving for a simple design to help users focus on the tasks of each day. Rather than just being an app, it's my understanding of time management, and I hope you will like it too. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
