If you go to bed late at night or stay up all night, you may not be able to manage your daily tasks sufficiently with the notation of 1 day = 24 hours. With DaySche, you can input tasks for up to 48 hours, so you can manage tasks up to two all-nighters with a single flow. DaySche Features Super simple task management All you need to enter is the task name and start time! You don't need to fill in everything like in a pie chart, just enter the time you want to put the task in! Up to 48 hours Ignoring the concept that a day = 24 hours, you can manage your tasks in one flow, whether you are a night owl or an all-nighter at work. Templating Tasks Frequently used tasks can be saved as templates and registered with a single tap. Separate by day of the week! Or divide by task content! *This app is not a calendar or other schedule management app, but an app for managing the flow of tasks in a day, from waking up to going to bed. If you are looking for a schedule management app, please check LooSche, an app with the same color scheme and design.
