Introducing ‘Complete’ – a better way to manage your to-dos

Complete animated gif 2

We are excited to introduce Complete – a beautiful advanced to do list app, that is available today on the App store.

We created Complete to fix exactly what the other to-do lists got wrong. We built a product that incorporates everything that a to-do list should have, from integrations to outside resources like Amazon Alexa, and Apple Reminders, to advanced list management with one-tap completion buttons. It enables getting things done quickly and on the go. Complete takes advantage of the experience we gained in the past few years, developing 24me.

Complete is different than 24me because it focuses only on tasks, and provides the best solution in the market for those who are looking for a simple and intuitive way to manage daily tasks. It also includes many advanced task management features which are not included in the free version of 24me and provides the most advanced solution for tasks and list management. Here’s how we addressed the top three complaints related to existing to-do lists in the market:

  • Input — Complete makes it simpler to add tasks. It uses a unique integration to Amazon Alexa to add tasks by voice, without opening the app. You can also forward an email to Complete to have it appear as a task in your to do list.
  • Management and Priority — Building a robust mechanism of multiple reminders, nag alerts and priority management — so your tasks won’t be forgotten.
  • Output — Complete uses ‘Completion Buttons’ that allow you to complete tasks with one-tap right from the to-do list. It automates sending gifts, calling, texting and emailing right from the to-do list. It also shows weather forecast on the list so you can plan your tasks based on the forecast.

It has a unique concept of one-tap completion buttons – so sending gifts, calling, texting and emailing is automated from the to-do list. It also shows weather on the list so you can plan your tasks based on the forecast.

Complete app provides personalized reminders, advanced features for task management such as email to task, label management, sophisticated time management, reminders handling, task collaboration with a group of people, and more. It’s available for Apple Watch and localized to 13 different languages.
Alexa 2 - AmazonTap_Charging

Complete takes advantage of cutting edge technologies that emerge in the market. With the new integration to Amazon’s Alexa, it is possible to add tasks and lists by simply talking your thoughts out. Using Alexa, you can simply say things like “Create a new grocery list” and then list the items you need like, “2 Bananas, whole milk, 5 tomatoes…”. You can also add simple tasks by saying: “Add a task to set an appointment with the Doctor tomorrow at 2pm”.

Other great features that boost your productivity and were bundled in ‘Complete’ are the smart alerts – to keep you on top of things. Based on our experience we learned that users want to have a snapshot of what’s happening tomorrow, or today morning. Complete’s Smart alerts addresses that in a very elegant way.

No ttl - iPhone 7_screen__3 small

It enables to collaborate tasks with a group of people, so everyone are synced real time with the tasks and its items.

And of course – customization. You can color code labels, text size, reminder sounds and much more – to allow you flexibility to customize the way you want to work with your to do list.

Complete is available on the AppStore, and you can download it for free for limited time to celebrate the launch.

7 Apps That Will Help You ‘Beat The Blues’ This Blue Monday

Blue Monday 2017 has arrived. Dubbed the “most depressing day of the year,” based on a pseudo-scientific calculation that by now we’ve broken our New Year’s resolutions, the biting cold winter weather arrived, finally…as did all those credit card statements from our Christmas shopping runs. Black Friday and Cyber Monday seem a lifetime ago, but may well have contributed to the way you’re feeling right now!

But hey, you didn’t make all those resolutions and have all those grand ideas that you’d really get to this year, just to quit cold turkey 2 weeks into the year. Besides.. there’s a long way to next year and you promised yourself this year is going to be different.

So how about you hunker down and ‘shake off those blues’ and keep going.

Here are 7 great apps to help you gain control over your life and would help you feel way better this Monday:

1. Better sleep 

Sleeping better doesn’t get away from our resolutions. Sleep Pillow Sounds is an app that offers an easier way to improve the quality of your sleep, weather it’s hard for you to fall asleep, if you know how your daily activities can affect the efficiency of your dream or just want to wake up refreshed and ready to run your day.  

sleep pillow sounds

2. Relax more:

We all have plenty of preoccupations every day, which makes us have a pretty stressful life. Many times, tranquility is difficult to get, but that is why technology is here to give us a hand. There are plenty of applications that can help us to relax, find mental peace, fight anxiety and stress. Calm is a meditation app that brings more clarity, peace and joy to your life.  

Calm

3. Eat healthier or start a diet:

One of the most common resolutions for the new year is always to lose weight and as we are still recuperating from the holiday celebrations, it makes it more important to consider about following a diet and eating healthier. Fooducate is a health and diet app, which functions like a weight loss coach for people that want to eat healthy.

4. Exercise more:

 

If there is a resolution that we always try to achieve year after year is the “I will start going to the gym”. It happens to all of us, paying the gym and go just a few times or don’t go at all. If this year you proposed yourself to stay fit but never throw that money to the trash, Sworkit can help you save that gym subscription. It provides personalised workouts, which can be done from home and can fit your schedule and goals. You can create an exercise plan depending on your fitness and your time.

5. Get organized:

Many of our New Year’s Resolutions don’t get anywhere because we don’t know how to organize ourselves adequately: nor our time, nor our objectives. Organization is what everybody needs in this hectic life. Is the key element to achieve our goals. 24me will help you getting things done by managing your calendar, to-do list, events, notes and reminders from your real life accounts  in one place. It will always make sure that you are on top of things.

24me

6. Save money:

We all have the intention of saving money – little by little – so in case we wanted to break that piggy bank, we will find a little more than just some cents. The problem is that we never achieve it and the #1 reason is that we don’t control our expenses.  CoinKeeper is a really effective app that helps planify your spendings, in what you have spent, also it defines the unnecessary expenses and tells you how much will you have left.

7. Spend more time reading:  

Do you remember the last time you read a really good book?  Probably not, and it’s because we just can’t find the perfect time to do it. You don’t have an excuse anymore, now you can carry millions of books in your smartphone and catch up with the classic ones. Wattpad has endless choices of books to help you fulfill your resolution. You can also connect with your friends and authors in the application, write reviews and keep track of future books you would like to read.  Happy reading!

Have a super productive 2017!

Introduction to 24me

Calendar as a personal assistant

Calendars are an integral part of our lives. In the earliest times, human beings calculated time by observing the periods of light and darkness that alternated continuously. These days everyone is using a calendar, whether you are a busy individual, juggling a family with kids or just need to keep your head on top of things — a digital calendar is the solution. But there are several major problems with the current offering of calendars — most of them are just a digital representation of pen and paper. They are static, and don’t fit the current dynamic modern lifestyle. And usually — you need to work for your calendar and it doesn’t work for you. At times when people are overwhelmed with data, deal with way more things than they used to — there is a huge need for an assistant that will guide them throughout the day.

This is why we are focused on developing the best personal assistant experience. Since most of the data about time: like events, tasks and other related information relevant to the schedule, is based in calendars, we decided that building a personal assistant on top of a calendar would be the best way to save people time. As busy individuals ourselves we understand how demanding modern life is, and how difficult it is to juggle between your career and your family life. The concept behind 24me is to provide one place to manage your schedule, and to automatically complete your tasks and errands, and that sets 24me apart from other calendar apps.

As a team of geeks and designers, who think about every little element, we came up with 24me, and we have been named App Store Best of 2014’ by Apple.

What you get when you download 24me

One place for all your calendars, Tasks, Notes and Personal Accounts

Your events, tasks, notes and real life accounts all fully synced and appear on your calendar. No need to use multiple apps to get a sense of what’s happening next. 24me provides a very simple and organized way for you to navigate throughout the day.

The New 24me: Our Biggest Creation Yet!

We are excited to release “The New 24me“, which is available now on the App Store for you to downloadThis is by far, our most advanced version to date.

Here’s What You Get When You Download The New 24me:

  • New Design: We have completely upgraded 24me with a whole new design, with beautiful thin icons. And we are excited to bring a little feminism to the “invite” icons. As a company who promotes gender equality, we decided that this is how our new invite icon is going to look:

Invite canvas white

 

  • Upgrades To Time Management:
    • Second reminder – You can now add another reminder to any task, note, or calendar event.
    • Choose between 1 and 5 minutes interval for reminders and events time.
    • Set any reminder time that you choose instead of the default ‘x time before’.
  • Single Touch Conference Call Dialing – We know how busy you are, and it’s always that call, that starts when you’re on the go. Having to remember the dial-in number and the passcode to register is pretty time intensive and rather inconvenient when on the road. For that we have added Automatic code dialing – allowing you to add the conference call and the passcode number on the meeting, making it easier to manage conference calls.  How to do it? pretty easy: in the location tab of the meeting put the conference call number, add comma and add the passcode number.

Conference calls

 

  • Import Contact Addresses Into Meeting: It’s now easier to schedule meetings with your contacts. Once choosing your contact, 24me will ask whether  you want to use your contact’s address.

Tips To Get You Started With 24me

24me is your smart personal assistant that unifies calendar, to-do list, notes and personal accounts. It helps you manage your schedule and keeps you on top of things: it automatically tells you what’s coming up next and provides with personalized notifications to keep you on top of things and saves time so you could focus on the things that matter most.

Here are a few tips to get you started with 24me and that will help you be more productive during your day.  

1. Calendar Views

To help you better navigate throughout the day, 24me has three different views for the calendar, so it will be easier for you to see the day in either List view, Day view or Month view. Here is how to do it:

Month View

You can see a full month view just by pulling the dates bar down and expand it into a full month from the top bar.

List View and Day View

List view is the default view of 24me once you download it from the App Store. List view mode enables to see all your events, tasks and notes outlined as a list.

To switch between List view to Day view simply tap on the menu bar (top left) and easily switch from list view to day view tapping on the top right of the menu.
