The App Store is awash with To Do list apps determined to organize one's life, but how many of them promote good habits and maintaining them? Not so many. That's what Doable hopes to achieve by reminding its users of things that need doing by a certain time, but leaving them to finding the right moment. It's the kind of thing that lends itself well to things like remembering to complete household chores or visit the gym often.
Swipe controls affect things such as whether the task has been completed for now, or whether to delete it. The more it's used, the more interesting facts arise too. Doable tracks how late the task was completed then works out an average interval compared to when it was supposed to be done. Further information can be provided in note form, explaining how something went. It's simple yet very functional.
That flexibility ensures that Doable is great for a wide variety of tasks, rather than being focused on reminding users of what's coming up. It's a subtle yet useful shift of focus that ensures Doable is worth a look over more regular To Do list apps.
