I designed a task management app from scratch. Here's every decision I made and why:
Most task apps have a problem hiding in plain sight , they're so loaded with features that by the time you've organised your tasks, you've lost the energy to do them.
That's what I wanted to fix with PLANORA
One question drove every decision: what does someone actually need when they sit down to get things done?
Here's what I focused on:
One screen for everything: no nested menus, no switching views. Just your tasks and your day.
Add a task in under 3 seconds: one tap, type, done. Friction at the capture stage kills habits before they form.
Visual hierarchy over visual noise: white space and contrast do the work, not badges and colour coded labels competing for attention.
The goal wasn't the most powerful task app. It was the one people would actually use every day.
Simplicity is the hardest thing to design. But it's almost always the right answer.
What's the most cluttered app you use daily that needs a redesign? 👇
