Reminder App User Research & Design – 3

Design Tenets & Wireframe Sketches

  • Associate tasks to a Date and Time: People need to list a time, date and other information to a task, A Calendar will run in the background that schedules each task. The Calendar will not be a main feature of the interface.
  • Day at a Glance: Design will have the day at a glance as the main feature of the app. This will be a list of tasks and to-do items for that day. There will be functionality to see this list for any other days or a given week.
  • To-do list: Allow users to create a quick to-do list (no date selected) that will show up at the end of the tasks(with dates) list for the day. The users will have an option to change a list item to a task if needed, or transfer a list item to another day’s schedule.
  • Create other lists: Have functionality to add other lists on the app, like long term to-dos, etc.
  • Default Notifications: People list the tasks they believe they will forget, Design will have default alerts that can be switched off or edited for time.
  • Quick Entry of tasks: Allow people to enter tasks quickly by looking into possibilities to populate information when typed or any other method that reduces multiple steps
  • Collaboration of Apps: Design will have the functionality to link documents, email, notes, a website or online event to a task
  • Compatibility and Sharing: Make it easy for users to share their tasks or complete schedule to a family member or friend to other platforms like emails or text messages etc.
  • Shared Tasks & Collaborating: Design will have the functionality of sharing schedules with family members and friends (like Shared Calendar in Calendar app). Added functionality will be to add a collaborator to a task, this will add that task to the other person’s schedule.
