Taskito: To-Do List, Planner - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

Yes. I have been working as an Android Developer since 2014. I have built a few smaller apps before Taskito.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

Writing code was not very challenging. Marketing was probably the most challenging aspect. There's a plethora of apps available on Play Store and getting people to download your app is challenging. I have spent countless hours on trying to improve ASO, making screenshots (in multiple languages), trying to improve social media presence.

Taskito is the brainchild of Mr. Jay Rambhia, who is a solo developer. Taskito is all about time management and brings together all your tasks, events & reminders in one place. The app provides a simple yet intuitive way to organize your daily tasks.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

In no particular order,

Yoga | Down Dog: Hands down the best app for Yoga. This app creates a practice session based on your configuration and seamlessly integrates different poses (with video & audio).

Google Fit: I really loved this app untill last couple of years. It tracked my activities seamlessly and the UI was simple and intuitive. But the tracking part stopped working properly so I stopped using it.

Google Photos: The best feature is search photos by people. It's simply amazing. With Pixel 7, the app has great editing options.

How long have you been working on this app?

I started building the app in May, 2019. The first version was for my personal use only. I shared it on Reddit and got a positive response which motivated me to build more features.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

The app focuses on solving a pain point which is to keep a log of daily tasks and make it accessible via the Timeline.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

Taskito is unique because of its Timeline view.

A lot of apps have different contexts such as work, home, school, etc. But it doesn't work that way in real life. There's always intersection. Everyone has only 24 hours in a day and people miss some tasks because they are in different contexts.

Taskito emphasizes on scheduling your daily tasks. At one point, it was mandatory for a task to have a time & date. Of course, it is optional now as people like to have some leeway.

Repeating tasks are handled differently in Taskito. All the apps show only one entry for a repeating task. So if you're scheduling some tasks in next week, you won't see a repeating task that you need to do in that week. Taskito will show you repeating tasks in the future as well so you never over commit to your schedule.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

Popular demand is a web app for Taskito. I'm working towards it with a snail's speed. I don't have experience building web apps so it is very challenging. I also have other commitments which leaves me very little time nowadays.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

Please leave a review on Play Store. Your review will help us get a good rank in Google Play search. If you love the app, share them with your friends.
