Timebox

By @zesty-finch-98, in Productivity

A family timeboxing app: each family member plans their day as fixed timeboxes and works them against a countdown that stops when time is up, everyone can see the whole family's timeboxes, and only you can change your own.

What you can do

  • Family members
  • Share with the family
  • Plan the day
  • Work a timebox
  • Carry leftover work
  • Review
  • Edit a box

What it keeps on your phone

  • Each family member: name, colour, daily hours, and a scrambled (hashed) form of their code.
  • Each timebox: whose it is, day, task, length, start time, status, minutes used, extensions and note.
  • This device's own settings: who is signed in here, alert style, extensions, keep screen on, alerts allowed.
  • The family rows kept on this device when sharing isn't available.
  • Marks that timeboxes from before families were moved to the first person who signed in.
  • Timeboxes saved by the version before families, kept as they were; read once to move them into the family list.

Where your data goes

  • Shared lists go to the people you invite, through CloudCrane, encrypted so we can't read them
  • For reminders, CloudCrane keeps only each reminder's time, never what it's about

What it uses on your phone

  • Can share with people you invite: So your family sees one list of everyone's timeboxes on their own devices.
  • Sends reminders (we keep the time, never what it's about): To alert you when a timebox ends, even if you've switched to another app.
  • Keeps your screen on: To keep the screen on while a timebox is running, if you choose.
