MarkCard

Read full description

MarkCard is a phased habit-tracking tool that allows users to record their behaviors, habits, counts and other data by creating customizable cards and checking them off. The physical card format makes it easier for users to adapt to this method, view progress more intuitively, and feel a greater sense of achievement upon completion. The card creation and completion process provides users with a sense of progression, allowing them to adjust between tracking and rest periods to maintain habits longer. Working 5 days requires 2 days rest, focusing 25 minutes requires 5 minutes break, working all day requires evening rest. We wondered - could habit tracking also be phased? Tracking for several days then taking a break before starting the next cycle or phase. Our tool lets users create cards with fixed checkboxes, then mark them off. For example, exercise training could be tracked for a week, rested for a week, then a new card started. Benefits: * Completing a phase provides achievement. Each checkmark is satisfying, but completing a whole phase is extra rewarding. * Focuses on smaller, achievable goals (7/15/30 days) rather than endless tracking. * Proper rest leads to longer sustainability, just like the 5:2 work-rest ratio improves efficiency. * Card tracking is more intuitive, similar to real-world tracking methods users are familiar with. Additional features: * Customizable card backgrounds (including photos from albums) * Flexible checkboxes (2-30 per card) * Customizable checkmark shapes and colors * Individual reminder settings per card * "Start Another" option to begin next cycle * Statistics showing weekly, monthly, yearly and multi-year data, toggleable between individual items and totals Contact: * feedback@luanlujizhi.com

Taskly is a task manager and home maintenance tracker. Use it alone to stay on top of your to-do list and home upkeep. Share it with your household, roommates, or friends. Assign work, and know when it gets done. New: your credit cards may owe you money. Taskly+ tracks the credits that come with your cards and reminds you before they expire. TASKLY+: USE THE CARD CREDITS YOU ALREADY PAY FOR Premium cards charge real fees and pay you back in credits: dining, rides, travel, streaming. Miss the deadline and the money is gone. Taskly+ tracks it all. - Pick the cards you carry. See the credits that come with them. - Get a reminder before a credit expires. - Mark credits used and watch your savings add up. - See when a card has earned back its fee. - Subscription credits can track themselves. Taskly+ is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, with 14 days free. Looking at your cards, their credits, and the yearly value costs nothing. TRACK BENEFITS, NOT CARD DATA Taskly never asks for a card number, a bank login, or your purchases. You only pick the card products you hold, and that is all we ever know. WHY THERE ARE NO ADS Most card advice online is a wall of ads, because ads are how those sites get paid. We charge for Taskly+ instead, so our only job is keeping the information right. Every card shows its official source and when we last checked it. YOUR OWN TASK LIST Make tasks for yourself and never lose track of what to do. Add due dates, set them to repeat, and see only what is urgent on the Active tab, with no clutter in the way. MAINTENANCE ITEMS WITH COUNTDOWN TIMERS Track jobs that come up again and again, like filter swaps, appliance care, and safety checks. Each item shows a countdown, so you always know how much time is left, and when a job comes due it moves into your active list on its own. ASSIGN TO OTHERS, REQUIRE PROOF Connect with anyone who has Taskly and assign tasks to them. You can mark a task so it needs a photo before it counts as done, and without the photo there is no checkmark. Great for chores, home jobs, and anything you need to see done. RECURRING TASKS THAT RUN THEMSELVES Set tasks to repeat by day, week, or month. They come back on their own each time, so you never have to make the same task twice. KNOW THE MOMENT THINGS HAPPEN Get a nudge the moment someone gives you a task or marks one done. No more checking in to find out. YOUR DATA, YOUR PRIVACY Taskly uses iCloud to keep your data private and safe. Sign in with Apple means no password to recall and no new account to make. No ads, and we never sell your data. THE FINE PRINT Card benefits are set by the card issuers and can change at any time. Taskly is a tracking tool, not financial advice, and does not guarantee that any credit will post. Confirm current terms with your issuer. Card and program names belong to their owners and are used only to say which card is which. Taskly+ renews on its own until you cancel in your App Store settings.
