About

Blaise

Features
Read full description

Blaise is a powerful and flexible software package used worldwide for statistical and scientific research. The software is developed and maintained by Statistics Netherlands. This app can be used for both online and offline surveys. For online surveys it is required to have an internet connection for the duration of the survey, since the survey is running on a Blaise server park in this case. The app sends the answers to the questions to the server and the server calculates a response based on the given answers and the rules and checks that have been defined for the survey. The response is sent back to the app and displayed to the user. It is also possible to run a Blaise 5 survey offline. In order to do this you first need to download a survey package to the device. The app has the ability to do this. Once the survey is installed on your device, you don't need an internet connection any more to run the survey; the Blaise rules- and checking mechanism will then be performed on the device. The collected data is stored in a secure location on the device and can be uploaded to the server once the device is online. Manipula Dialogs applications (like CMA) are also fully supported by the app.

The first ADHD app that comes ready to use - no setup, no configuration, no building from scratch. Every productivity app expects you to design the system yourself. By the time you're done setting up, you've already lost momentum. Second Brain flips that. Open the app and you'll find a library of 20+ real-life tasks - paying bills, refilling prescriptions, scheduling appointments, doing laundry, filing taxes - each broken into small, clear steps you can follow one at a time. DAILY ROUTINES Install a Morning Routine, Evening Wind-Down, or Sunday Reset and get guided through your day one card at a time. Customize them or build your own. CHECK-INS Gentle prompts throughout the day. Feeling off track? Tap into a recovery flow and reset without judgment. HANDS-FREE MODE Tasks are read aloud as you go - perfect for mornings when your phone is across the room. SMART DEFAULTS Recurring tasks regenerate automatically. Tasks surface when they're due - not before. Your most recent task stays at the top. Less clutter, less thinking. No account. No cloud. No subscription. Your data stays on your device. Built for the ADHD brain that wants a second brain - without having to build one.
