Name any schedule management, productivity, or to-do list app, and we’ve tried it. Do you want to have your week start on Sunday or Monday? What time do you wake up? What time do you go to bed? What if the answer is…I have no idea. As a physician who works shifts on weekdays, weekends, holidays, nights, evenings…you name it…none of the productivity apps work for me. I designed this app for personal use, and I think that most busy professionals will find it is just what they need. Want to start a daily workout habit, but working out on a day where you work 15 hours and have to be up at 4 am tomorrow is impossible. You’ll love that you can tell the app when you work, when you are off, and schedule different routines depending on what your day has in store. Tell the app you want to go to the gym only on off days, for example. Also, enjoy the snooze feature. Have 20 hours of continuing education credits due at the end of the year, but don’t want to be reminded about it on a Tuesday in March? Snooze it for a month. It won’t be a distraction, but you will be reminded when you’re ready. This app is simple enough to be useful for anyone, even if you work a 9-5, but it is specifically designed for busy professionals with erratic work schedules and…maybe a touch of ADD.
