Read full descriptionHide full description
TimelineWorker turns your to-do list into a timeline. Line up your tasks, give each one a duration, and see exactly when every task — and your whole plan — will finish. Start the timer and focus on one thing at a time. A large countdown and a progress indicator show how much time is left for the current task. When the time is up, an alarm lets you know. GREAT FOR - Morning and evening routines - Study sessions and homework - Cooking with several steps - Meeting agendas and presentations - Workouts, chores and office work KEY FEATURES - Timeline view: see the planned finish time of every task at a glance - Big countdown: the remaining time is shown with numbers and an indicator - Alarm when time is up: plays a sound while the app is open, even in silent mode, and uses notifications in the background - You stay in control: tasks don't finish on their own. Complete the current task, restart its timer, or move it to the end of the list - Edit on the fly: add tasks to the top, the bottom or between tasks while the timer is running, and undo mistakes - Keep screen on: stop your device from sleeping while the timer runs - A small celebration when you finish every task Simple design and no sign-up. Your tasks are saved on your device. TimelineWorker is free to use and supported by ads.
