Project Overview

A family-centered task planner designed to help families and friend groups organize responsibilities together. The app introduces an AI Voice Planner, allowing users to create, assign, and manage tasks hands-free making planning accessible for busy, elderly, or non-tech-savvy users. My focus was creating a calm, minimal, and easy-to-use task experience that reduces cognitive overload.

The Challenge

Most to-do apps are built for individuals, not groups. Families usually rely on chats, sticky notes, and scattered reminders to coordinate tasks, leading to confusion, duplicated work, and unmet responsibilities. The challenge was to create a shared, accessible, and stress-free planning environment that works for different ages and tech comfort levels.

Objective

Design a task planner that:
Makes task creation extremely fast and accessible
Supports shared visibility across family members
Clearly shows responsibility and task ownership
Feels calm, trustworthy, and emotionally low-pressure
Works well with both typing and voice commands

The Solution

AI Voice Planner

Users can speak naturally to create tasks: “I want a reminder to finish up planner app design.” This reduces friction, improves accessibility, and supports multitasking.

Shared Family Workspace

One home for all group tasks showing who created each task, who’s responsible, and what’s overdue or ongoing.
