ActionTree encompasses what we all need to function efficiently: Management of Projects and management of Time. Both entities are represented by separate but related views - the "Projects" view and the "Timeline" view. A tap on the view title switches between the two. The Projects view enables the user to create hierarchal projects. The Timeline view - a view of reminders and events sorted by time. In the Projects view, you can break your projects down to manageable steps that can be collapsed, expanded, fitted with quick reminders, photos and notes. The Timeline view provides list of reminders and events sorted by time. New reminders and events can be created and edited. Links are provided to correlate between the Projects and the Timeline views.

EZ Outliner aims to be a simple yet easy to use outliner application, allowing you to create powerful and easy to read outline documents from any device, anywhere. Use EZ Outliner to create shopping and grocery lists, plans, schedules, outline speeches and presentations, to do lists, or anything else which takes the format of an outline. EZ Outliner currently contains everything you need to create basic outlines, but I will expand and add more based on user requests and feedback. Here is just a list of some of the things EZ Outliner can already do. - Create a virtually unlimited number of outlines for every use case and occasion! - Color code your outlines for better organization. - Print your outlines, from any device! Properly formatted outline printing is supported on all devices, as long as a printer is available. - Sync your outlines between devices. If you sign in with an Ape Apps account, you can sync your outline files across all of your devices. Work on a grocery list or presentation at home, then pull them up on your phone when you need them! The goal of EZ Outliner is to be quick and easy to use. If there are features you would like to see added, or if you can think of changes that will improve the app, e-mail me or let me know in the comments. This app is for you guys, so help me make it the best it can be!
