Daily Productivity

Completed
Hyper-Focused Task Management

Daily Productivity was designed for professionals who find traditional task managers too cluttered. We focused on a 'one task at a time' philosophy, implementing a high-fidelity interface that suppresses distractions and rewards deep work cycles. By combining elegant gesture-based controls with powerful time-blocking features, we created a tool that helps users reclaim their focus and ship their best work.

The Challenge

"Traditional task managers often become just another source of stress. We wanted to build something that feels like a calm, focused workspace."

Most productivity tools suffer from 'feature creep,' overwhelming users with tabs, folders, and tags. The challenge was to strip away the noise while maintaining the power needed for serious professional workflows.

The Solution

  • Deep Work Mode

    A dedicated interface that hides all non-essential tasks during active work sessions.

  • Gesture-First UX

    Natural swiping and pinching gestures to manage tasks without looking for buttons.

  • Smart Time-Blocking

    Intelligent scheduling that maps tasks directly to your calendar availability.
