Your day, beautifully planned. Taskr is a clean, visual daily planner built around a simple idea: when you can see your day laid out in front of you, you get more done. Visual Timeline See your entire day at a glance on a scrollable timeline. Every task has its own colour-coded block showing exactly when it starts, how long it takes, and what's coming next. No more mental juggling — just a clear picture of your day. Inbox — Capture First, Schedule Later Got an idea or task but not sure when to do it? Drop it in your Inbox. It stays there until you're ready to schedule it, keeping your timeline clean and your mind clear. Week View Zoom out and see the whole week. Spot busy days, find gaps, and plan ahead with a 7-day overview that shows all your tasks at a glance. Recurring Tasks Build routines that actually stick. Set any task to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly — perfect for habits, workouts, work blocks, and anything else you do regularly. Smart Reminders Never miss a task. Set a reminder to fire at the start of a task or minutes before it begins, so you're always prepared. Personalise Everything Choose from a full palette of colours and a library of icons to make every task feel like yours. Your planner should be as unique as your day. Home Screen Widgets See your next task without even opening the app. Taskr's widgets keep you on track from your home screen and lock screen. No account required. Your data stays on your device.

You already know you spend too much time on your phone. Every screen time report tells you the same thing. But knowing isn't enough, you need a system. BeforeScroll locks your most addictive apps until you complete a real challenge. Your apps are earned, not given. HOW IT WORKS Pick which apps to lock, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, or anything that steals your time. Choose your challenge. Complete it. Your apps unlock. No override button. No "just five more minutes." You earn your screen time by doing something real first. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE Walk to Unlock (available now) Set a daily step goal. Hit it, your apps open. Miss it, they stay locked. Every step counts, walk in the morning, scroll whenever. Pushups to Unlock (coming soon) Drop and do your reps before you scroll. Build strength and a screen time habit at the same time. Bible Reading to Unlock (coming soon) Read a passage first. Then scroll. Start every day with intention. Quiz to Unlock (coming soon) Answer geopolitics questions to earn your apps. Learn something before you mindlessly browse. WHY BEFORESCROLL IS DIFFERENT Most app blockers rely on willpower. You set a timer, then override it 10 minutes later. BeforeScroll doesn't let you cheat. Your apps stay locked until you complete your challenge. No snooze. No bypass. Just do the work. This isn't about quitting your phone. It's about earning it. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Choose exactly which apps to lock - Set your own challenge level (whatever pushes you) - Track your daily progress with a clean dashboard - Watch your streaks grow as the habit sticks - Credits last 24 hours, complete your challenge any time THE SCIENCE The average person spends 4+ hours a day on their phone. That's 60 full days a year staring at a screen. The best way to cut mindless scrolling isn't willpower, it's friction. BeforeScroll puts a real-world challenge between you and your apps. One habit replaces another. WHAT USERS SAY "I went from 6 hours of screen time to 2. Not because I was told to stop, because I had to earn it." "I actually look forward to my morning walk now.
