Busy vs Code Story

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.
