My thought process for Ontrack

My thought process for Ontrack was to build a task app that made sense for how people keep track of the work they do.
Unfortunately, too many times most task apps forced you into a pattern of spending time micromanaging them over a seamless experience of keeping track of your goals and the work that needed to be done in a fashion that felt fluid and intuitive.
I designed Ontrack around that hypothesis yet I still ran into bottlenecks that blocked the aimed fluidity of a productivity app that felt truly useful.
To address the issues, I've been experimenting new approaches that push the limits of creating a frictionless experience, and a productivity app that actually helps you be productive without the overhead.
