One of the people behind Timeful is Dan Ariely, Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, an expert in human fallibility and short-term thinking, so you get the idea that Timely isn't just another calendar app or To-Do list. The app comes out of a lot of research on how we use our time, so Timeful makes smart suggestions, rather than giving you alerts by rote. Timeful also wants to know when you sleep, so you won't be alerted during that time. There is a "frequency bar" to regulate how often you are flagged on lesser events. It can be a specific time, or even something more vague like a weekday morning. When you enter anything into Timeful, you are asked about its priority and when the best time to remind you about that item is. The app blends to-do's, events and what it calls "habits," which the developers define as a good practice you want to develop. It can import and sync your current calendars from iCloud, Google, Yahoo or Mirosoft Exchange. The app tries to capture everything that vies for your precious time and stores it in one place. Timeful (free) has launched today after a long development and beta phase. If you are interested, be sure to grab it right away as it will be a paid app after Friday, August 15. It requires iOS 7 or later and is optimized for the iPhone 5. The control is a small right facing arrow, just next to the '+' symbol for adding an event to the calendar. BUSYCAL TIMEFUL HOW TOUsing Work Time is simple, but I did have a small challenge trying to figure out how to change the style and colors. The app's developer says he wanted a useful desktop clock app but could not find one, so he did it himself. Work Time has ten different color screen themes, and the app supports both landscape and portrait orientation. The event list is scrollable, and it's easy to select which calendars you wish to have appear on the display. There is also a button to let you add new events. Tapping on an event lets you edit it in the Calendar app or delete it. Work Time (free today only, normally US$1.99) is a clever little desktop clock app keeps your iPhone busy while you're working, displaying upcoming calendar events, the current temperature and a weather forecast. ![]()
