Personal Work Issue Tracker

Read full description

Personal Work Issue Tracker helps you organize your work and life issues in one place — from root-cause analysis to ideas and progress notes — one page per issue. A to-do app manages "what to do." This app manages the issue itself: the problem behind it. Lighter than heavy all-in-one tools, deeper than a to-do list. Solve your scattered issues right from your iPhone. Your issues are scattered across note apps, spreadsheets, and other places, so you can never see the whole picture. Heavy tools are too deep to use comfortably on a phone, and there's no place to jot down causes and ideas. This dedicated issue-solving app fixes that. Features: - See every issue at a glance: Filter by tag, status, and priority on the Home tab. Everything you're working on, in one view. - Go deep on each issue: Structure a single issue through cause analysis, brainstorming ideas, choosing the idea to adopt, and progress notes. - Your own templates: Save a section layout and reuse it for every issue — build your own problem-solving format. - Status management: Track progress with Not Started, In Progress, and Completed. Completed issues are auto-archived to the Completed tab. - Search across everything: Search not just titles but causes, ideas, and progress notes. Find that past idea instantly. - Look back: Review your finished issues on the Completed tab and watch your solutions add up. - iCloud sync & offline: Sync across devices. No internet needed — opens and records instantly, even on the go. Bring your work and life issues into Personal Work Issue Tracker and move each one forward, from cause to solution. ■ Pro Plan Unlock the full experience with a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, ever. 【Pro Plan Features】 - Ad-free - Create up to 5 templates (free: up to 2) - Unlimited tags (free: up to 5) - Unlimited custom sections (free: up to 2) Please review the following before purchasing: Privacy Policy: https://giversthankapp.com/privacy-policy-for-personal-work-issue-tracker-en/ Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html
