Checkt

Checkt is a comprehensive to-do/calendar application for mobile devices. I designed this app for users to keep track of goals, to-do lists, and events seamlessly on one platform. While numerous apps that focus on goals and calendars exist, many focus solely on one or the other. Checkt integrates all these functionalities into one cohesive app.

By consolidating both daily and future events with short and long-term goals, this app simplifies the task input and viewing experience. The integration offers a holistic view of personal timelines making planning and organizing efficient. With Checkt, users can experience a streamlined approach to task management and goal organization, making everything from daily responsibilities to long-term aspirations easily accessible in a single app.

Understanding the User

To better understand the potential users of the app, I conducted two user interviews from college students (ages 18-24) to discover motivations behind using personal organization apps. I gained insight on what organization methods, apps, and app features are used.

Competitive Analysis

I analyzed several competitors of Checkt. The three apps I analyzed (Google Calendar, Reminders, and Structured) are all popular apps for personal organization. These apps specialize in specific features such as calendars, checklists, and to-dos.

First Design

I narrowed down three features for my app to focus on: goals, a calendar, and a to-do list. This was my first design.

User Testing Insights

The good:

• Generous button sizes
• Emojis provide good visuals
• Completed to-do items can be distinguished from incomplete

To improve:

• Features could be more integrated rather than having all separate pages
• Design can be more consistent, especially on the calendar page
• Calendar has no edit button

Style Guide

To make a more consistent design throughout the app, I created a style guide.
