Hourwright: Task Scheduler

JN Projects

About this app

Hourwright takes your to-do list and places every task into the free time in your Google Calendar, so you open your phone to a plan for the day instead of a list you still have to arrange.

You add your tasks with a duration and a priority, plus a due date where one exists, and set the hours you actually work. Hourwright reads when you are busy in Google Calendar and books each task into the gaps around your meetings. A task that is too long for one sitting is split across several, and anything that does not fit is reported to you by name instead of being quietly dropped.

When your week changes, you run the scheduler again and the plan is rebuilt in about a second, which replaces the twenty minutes of dragging blocks around that makes most people give up on time blocking.

WHAT IT DOES

• Places tasks into your free time by priority and due date
• Splits long tasks into sittings that fit the gaps you have
• Schedules a task after the one it depends on
• Keeps recurring tasks coming back without retyping them
• Leaves buffer time between tasks
• Lets you drag a task to a new time and keeps it locked there
• Shows a day view and a three-day view of your plan
• Writes the plan to Google Calendar, in calendars of its own that you can hide
• Offers six colour themes and a dark mode
