Reaching a goal comes with a lot to do. This app is a goal planner where you spread out everything you need to do on a canvas, group those tasks into projects right there, and then move them to your to-do list. Do you really need to keep your overall plans in a notes app, your events and tasks in another app, and your routines in yet another routine app? This app puts four kinds of cards—events, tasks, routines, and workouts—on your timetable, so you can see your whole week at a glance. Every item keeps both the time you planned and the time you actually spent. You can tap the timer at the start and at the end, and anything left unfinished moves to tomorrow. When something comes up at the last minute, you can add it right away. Important events also come with things to do beforehand and things to bring, right? And sometimes there’s something you mustn’t forget to do during the event. In SmallButBig, all of this fits into a single event. Set separate alarms—for packing what you need, for doing things ahead of time, and more—so you don’t miss a thing. You can also log your wake-up time on the timetable. Tap the wake-up button on the alarm you set, and it’s marked on your timetable automatically. Unlike a typical inbox that only holds your tasks, the “Inbox Map” sorts them by how precisely you’ve decided when to do them. Some are for this year, some for Q1, some for this month, others for this week, others for Wednesday, and some for Wednesday at 11 a.m. You can take it all in at a glance. In the morning, when you open your eyes and before your day begins, the Brain Dump lets you pour out every thought in your head. Before bed, the Daily Reflection lets you look back on your day. So you pour out your ideas in the morning, spend your small, precious day with focus, and get ready for tomorrow before you sleep. Spend each small day well, and you’ll draw closer to your big dream. We will all bloom. ■ Why is the app called SmallButBig?  SmallButBig means small, but big. A day is small, but I believed no big dream comes true unless small days add up.  The icon's small checks once formed one big check; now three checks form a smiling face: an app that stays with you through small days until the day you smile. ■ Made together - Every word from the people who use the app becomes a guide for the next update. - When a bug is reported, my rule is to fix it that same day and submit it for review, so you can update the very next day. If you report it on a weekend, though, you'll get the update on Tuesday morning. - Every bit of revenue the app makes goes into developing new products and features. - Prices may also rise as the product's quality improves, but as long as you keep the subscription you first bought, you keep your first price, regardless of those increases. - If the price is a burden or you're going through a hard time, please email me at smallbutbig.app@gmail.com and tell me about your situation. - The Mac app is sold separately on the Mac App Store. ■ Requires a purchase  There is no free version. Every feature requires a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the period ends; cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Prices are shown on the in-app purchase screen. — Junbeom Lim Privacy Policy: https://lim394.github.io/smallbutbig-legal/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
