Thruday

Visual timeline

The day is shown in time order with each activity given an image and color, so what is happening now and what comes next can be read at a glance.

Routines and reminders

Morning, evening, work or school routines recur automatically inside the daily schedule, with alerts and notifications for tasks, plans and appointments.

To-do list

Tasks are captured in a list with color-coded priorities, tags and subtasks, then reordered or added to the day when you are ready to plan them.

Focus timer

A focus session starts from a to-do, a planned activity or on its own, and can be paused, rewound or extended while the next activity stays in view.

Mood tracking and journal

Moods are logged through the day with a traffic-light system and reviewed for patterns over time. A private journal holds notes and brain dumps.

Assistants for carers and family

A parent, carer, partner or support worker can be invited to help plan routines and days, and daily schedules can be printed.

TimeBloc
