Your energy is finite. Plan accordingly. Boostive is a new kind of daily planner built around one simple truth: your energy matters more than your time. Instead of cramming tasks into hours, Boostive lets you assign energy points to each task — so you can see exactly how much you can handle before you hit your limit. ⏺ How It Works Set your daily energy capacity, then add tasks with energy costs. Boostive's live energy gauge shows your remaining capacity in real time — blue when you're comfortable, orange when you're getting low, and red when you're pushing too hard. It's burnout prevention, built right into your planner. ⏺ Key Features - Energy Gauge — Visual indicator that tracks your daily energy in real time - Smart Priority — Tasks are automatically prioritized based on their energy cost - Dual View — Switch between list view and category view to organize your way - Calendar — Monthly overview with per-day energy and task summaries - Statistics — Weekly and monthly insights on energy usage, completion rates, and trends - Categories — Create custom categories with colors and icons - 8 Themes — From Calm Blue to Midnight dark mode, pick the look that suits you - Cloud Sync — Sign in to back up your data and sync across devices - Notifications — Set reminders so you never miss an important task - Bilingual — Full English and Korean support ⏺ Why Energy, Not Time? Traditional planners treat every hour the same. But a meeting at 9am and a creative session at 4pm drain you differently. Boostive recognizes this. By tracking energy instead of just time, you build a schedule that's honest about what you can actually accomplish. ⏺ Your Data, Your Control Use Boostive offline with local storage, or sign in to sync across devices via secure cloud backup. Smart conflict resolution ensures your data is never lost. Start planning smarter.
