Busy vs Zenkit

Intuitive time tracking - visualized on a horizontal timeline. In a familiar interface most people know how to use - a calendar.

Busy delivers intuitive time tracking - visualized on a horizontal timeline. Your timeline is presented in a familiar interface most people know how to use - a calendar. It works as a calendar but is unlike any calendar.

Our mobile app for iOS gives you a glance at your timeline for the day. Log hours, edit entries and see what’s going on, wherever you are.

Our perspective:

Most people don't like tracking time, and most time tracking tools won't score more than 3 if you were to rate them on a scale from 1-10. The existing tools are usually complicated to use and not very sexy. On a mission to break 3, we decided to build Busy.

First, we looked at how time is best visualized. In books time if often visualized on a horizontal timeline, taking you from A to B, making it easy to pin events.

Second, we looked on how we could best implement the concept of a timeline in a familiar interface most people know how to use. Most people know how to use a calendar, and by rotating a traditional calendar sideways we ended up with a timeline.

The result is Busy. It works as a calendar but is unlike any calendar.

Finally, a way to organize your projects and everything. The way you want.

Companies have a huge variety of tools to choose from. All of the available tools on the market have very different and specific features. We believe that, especially in the project management sector, people should have the power to decide which feature is best suited for their current situation and workflow. Users should be able to switch between these features when needed, without needing to constantly switch between software tools. With Zenkit we aim to provide the user with this flexibility in order to encourage creativity and customization.
