Thanks for any feedback!
FlowTree is an automated todo list maximizing personal effectiveness by suggesting the best tasks to work on
http://flowtree.net
Target audience:
- primary: people working on several different ‘projects’ in parallel, with lots of different tasks coming from several different directions (e.g. small business owners, students, project managers, work-at-home freelancers, lawyers with several clients, etc.)
- secondary: anyone trying to get organized and looking for a tool to help keep on top of things with minimal hassle
What is does differently than its competition:
- User can assign impact, effort, and urgency values to each task, and FlowTree calculates a value from these. Values can dynamically change over time
- The list is kept sorted by value so choosing what to work on next is a matter of simply picking something from the top of the list
- Values change day by day based on urgency and other settings. Distractions will sink to the bottom and important tasks will rise to the top automatically. Also, something due in three days will gradually float up in the coming days
- Thanks to this automation, the manual work needed to maintain the list is minimized
Current stage: looking for early adopters and feedback.
Customer conversion strategy: very early stages, experimenting with approaches at the moment. Mostly reaching out to productivity-related groups and forums and getting out personally to talk about the app with people. The monetization strategy is to do it through in-app purchases of ‘task cards’ (a sort of ‘pay as you’ go model).
Background of idea: I’m a project manager by profession so have spent a lot of time building and tweaking this system of task management for my own use. Have not found a suitable alternative from the apps that are out there so decided to make it into a product.
