[Decide the order in which you do things and take immediate action] FlowDo is a simple task management app that lets you organize and manage your tasks in the order you want them to be done. Once you've decided on the order, all you have to do is follow FlowDo's simple steps. FlowDo helps you focus your time on action and execution. β FlowDo Features - Adding tasks is simple and easy with just one tap. - Drag and drop tasks to rearrange them in the order you want them to be done. - The UI focuses on ""what to do first"" and uses arrows to connect the order, allowing you to act in a straightforward manner without having to think about ""what to do first"" or ""in what order."" β The Benefits of Organizing Tasks in the Order You Do It [Benefit 1] You can complete tasks in a straightforward manner without having to worry about each one. When managing tasks by listing them in random order or throwing them into boxes, do you find yourself wasting time and stressing out over having to think ""what to do next"" when trying to act? Additionally, constantly thinking about and making decisions can gradually cause ""decision fatigue"" in your brain. By using FlowDo for task management and sorting your tasks in advance and ""determining the order in which you'll do them,"" you can eliminate the need for thinking and making decisions before taking action, allowing you to work on tasks in a straightforward manner without worrying. [Benefit 2] You can move forward with tasks without being overwhelmed by schedule changes or poor forecasts. One way to manage your tasks is to decide when you'll do them in advance, put them on your calendar, and set aside time. However, with this method, if something unexpected happens or a problem throws off your schedule, you have to reschedule, which can be a hassle. Also, if you overestimate the required time, it can sometimes take much longer than planned. Furthermore, it's a hassle to keep track of tasks that only take one or five minutes to complete on your calendar. With simple task management that simply sorts your tasks in order, you can skip these issues and continue to complete tasks flexibly based on your daily schedule and irregularities. [Benefit 3] Manage work, housework, childcare, and hobbies all in one place. Even if you categorize your tasks by project, you can only do one thing at a time. With simple task management without categorization, focusing on what you're doing now and what you'll do next, you can clearly see your daily to-do list and move forward. β Recommended for: * Those who look at their to-do list and find themselves momentarily thinking, ""What should I start with?"" * Those who take a long time to get started * Those who struggle with detailed task management * Those looking for a simple, intuitive task management tool * Those looking for a task management tool without time or date restrictions terms of serviceοΌEULAοΌοΌhttps://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

When a routine lives only in your head, it's easy to lose your place or lose track of time. KATA turns a note into a routine you can play. Pick a routine. Press start. "Three minutes: jump rope." KATA announces each step and moves on when time is up. No need to keep checking your notes. Even with your hands busy, you know what's next. That's the whole idea. β Why it beats a note β Voice guides every step Step names and remaining time, read out loud. While you're in another app, step changes arrive as notifications. Switch between voice, sound, vibration, or silent β for the gym or the office. β Paste a note, get a routine Copy your existing note and paste it into KATA. "3 min", "20 reps", "x3 rounds" are detected automatically. No rebuilding the sequence from scratch. β A quiet log When you did it, how long it took. Facts only. No streaks. No charts. No cheering. KATA records β it never judges. β Three step types, one routine - Check: advance with a tap β for work procedures and checklists - Timer: auto-advance β for practice menus and stretching - Count: tap to count reps, chime at the target - Rounds: repeat a block, like "3 min x 3 rounds" Mix them freely. Workouts, vocal drills, podcast release checklists β one app. β Nothing interrupts a session - No ads during a session. Ads appear only on the Home and Logs screens - Lock Screen shows the current step and remaining time - Interrupted? Resume right where you stopped β Fast to start, easy to share - 51 built-in templates (workout, vocal warmup, morning prep, release checklist) - Organize routines into categories; add, rename, or delete them anytime - Start from a Home Screen widget with one tap - "Hey Siri, start Morning Prep in KATA" (iOS 18+) - Export any routine as text. Anyone can paste it and play it β Fair by design - No account. No sign-up - Create, run, and log routines offline - Free with no feature limits.
