Backwards Clock is a task management app dedicated to visualizing deadline management. Inspired by the Temporal Motivation Theory (TMT), clear deadlines are the main driving force for our actions. Therefore, Backwards Clock harnesses the power of deadlines, and helps us combat procrastination and complete tasks. In addition, our perception of time also affects our behaviour. Unlike vague memory or facing a distant date, Backwards Clock visualizes the remaining time of tasks and presents it in a simple timeline view. These visual cues help us master time and prevent forgetfulness, panic, and unpreparedness. Design Backwards Clock abandons bloated features and uses the minimalist design language to make task management no longer a task. Features - Manage all tasks on a single timeline. - Preset reminders and reusable reminders. - Focus on one task at a time. - Cross-timezone management, each task can set the timezone independently, and the app automatically converts. - Add notes and detailed information to the tasks. - Using widgets to track tasks effortlessly. - Quickly postpone or advance when plans change. - iCloud synchronization to ensure data security.
