ToDoタスクをデザインする! 人生タイマーで、人生の現在地を常に意識できる! このアプリで毎日のうっかりや、流されることがなくなります。 期限のあるイベントまでのカウントダウンは勿論、記念日など毎年リピートするものをメモと色で設定できます。 そして、通知も多く設定できるので忘れることはありません。 稀にしかやらない、胃カメラ、オイル交換など前回いつやったのかを管理するのにも便利です。 数が多くなっても、ソート機能が充実。同じタブをもう1度押すと並び順が上下逆になります。 さらに、営業日カウント(平日のみで残日数表示)や通知も複数設定可。祝日は具体的に何の日なのかも表示。 あと1つしか設定できませんが、人生タイマーを使うことができます。 平均寿命から設定もできますが、ご自分で持病や体質を考慮して自分の寿命を設定すると残りの人生の日数、消化率を表示します。 我々人間は、目の前のことに反応し、流されてしまう意志の弱い人が私を含めて多いと思います。 人生を俯瞰的に常に見続けることにより、今の生き方、取り組む姿勢は変わります。 機種変更した時に設定内容を引き継げる機能も用意しています。 この機能は、複数のデバイスで設定内容を共有する機能としても便利です。 このアプリで皆さまの生活がより良いものになるように今後もアップデイトしていきます。
