The following problems should be solved by Taskly: The interviewee’s answers were taken to help to refine Taskly’s MVP features. The purpose was to gain further insights regarding the core features that should be included in Taskly.

The survey findings were then to be specified by qualitative data by conducting in-person user interviews. The integration of other services does not seem to be as widely wished for as I expected. Cluttered dashboards or lists seem to be an issue. Adding tasks or other content seems to take too much effort for users, so they rely on less flexible but easier to use solutions like pen and paper or analog calendars.Īlso, people want a clear overview of their tasks. The usability of task management apps seems to be an issue. The survey showed that task management apps are not as commonly used as one might have thought. First, I conducted an online user survey using Survey Monkey to gain an insight on how task management apps are used, how users organize their projects and tasks, and which pain points may lead users to change the app or go back to using pen and paper. In the next step, it was time to take a closer look at Taskly’s potential users. For this, three competitors were chosen and carefully analyzed in points of marketing profile, SWOT profile, UI and UX design, content, design, and performance.īased on those findings, it was possible to define Taskly’s first core features. To gain an understanding of Taskly’s industry and potential customers, a competitor analysis was conducted in the beginning. Based on the tests' results, Taskly’s design has been refined with each step. Each step of the process has been tested with members of the target group. The design process of Taskly is based on a user-centered approach. The following Tools were used: Adobe Xd, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Photo, Balsamiq Mockups, InVision, Prott, Survey Monkey, Usability Hub. The challenge was to design a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) for fictional stakeholders including every step of the design process.

Taskly is joining the tech future and is now partly written in SwiftUI.Taskly is a project management app concept that has been created during an intensive 3-month UX Design course at CareerFoundry.

The 'focus on next task'-hotkey did not focus properly on count up tasks that had not been started yet - now it does.

On some versions of MacOS, the Taskly window was positioned incorrectly when auto-launching on system startup - it should be correctly positioned now.

A 'contact' button to has been added to the new settings view to make it easier for us to get in touch if you have any suggestions, feedback, issues or whatever - do not hesitate reaching out.

Some like up as default, some like down, therefore, the default count direction of new tasks is now configurable in the new settings view.

A proper Taskly settings view has been added, promising a future with even more configurations to fit everyones specific need.

Time and space go hand in hand, therefore you can now give your timed tasks more space as the Taskly window is now resizable (drag from edges to resize, drag up from top edge to reset to default size).Toggle Auto-start Taskly on system startup.Customize app UI (background & text colors).Add as many tasks as you want and play and pause them as you like, but make sure you complete them all before the day is over. The active task will be visible in your Menu Bar with a countdown to keep you focused on what to do and how much time's left to do it. Hit play and start accomplishing your tasks.Set the duration you want to spend on each of your tasks throughout the day.Start your productive day by writing the tasks you ought to do.Done.Īllocate time for your daily tasks with Tasklys simple and intuitive UI. Taskly lives in your Menu Bar and helps you Get.
